Responsible SNAP Budget

[Lesh]

There are 42 million people on SNAP. There is no greater indictment of the government than that.

The economy is not responsible for feeding you.

YOU are responsible for feeding you.

That means you don't buy votes by handing out other people's money.

So **** em? Let em go hungry?

(Not sure where to put this, but mods can move it.)

Welfare beneficiaries will get half their monthly SNAP benefit for November. Let’s see how, with responsible choices, they can stretch that out. For purposes of this exercise, let’s say it’s a single mother with two little kids, who normally gets $750 a month. So…..how can she stretch the $375 for this month?

1) Four packages of chicken (16 main meals) at $35
2) Two pounds of ground beef (8 mains) @ $15
3) Box of spaghetti and sauce (4 mains) @ $5
4) 3 bags of frozen veggies @ $10
5j 10 cans of fruit @ $15

All dinners: $80 total

1) 2 Dozen eggs @ $8
2) Two boxes cereal @ $5
3) Juice carton @$4 (mix with water to stretch it out)
4) 3 gallon of milks (not sure, let’s say $10)
5) Package of cheese @ $3
6) Two loafs of bread $8

All breakfasts: $40

Kids get free lunches, so for Mom only (and weekends for kids)

1) Five tuna cans @ $10
2) Another loaf of bread @ $4
3) mayo @ $3
4) packages of sliced Turkey and bologna @ $10
5) apples, bananas, whatever, let’s say another $15

Lunches: $42

All basic meals: $162

Add in another $40 for pudding snacks, jello, bags of chips, etc., etc.

Still comes in around $200 for a basic “charity” diet for November.

Trump says SNAP will be half funded in November. What does that mean?

When will SNAP benefits arrive for November and other things to know

Kids get free breakfast at school too.

Why? Because you’re a liar

And you’re gleefully taking food outta people’s mouth. Many of em fellow Republicans

If you say so

Most SNAPPERS are gaming the system and taking advantage of your ignorance

Again. Prove it or admit you’re a lying shit

 

[Rawley]

I would remove, by benefit restrictions, the pudding snacks, jello, bags of chips, etc., etc.

Real whole foods only.

If nothing else - soda. 10% of the SNAP budget is spent on sugar water. No brainer.

So **** em? Let em go hungry?

Make better choices.

When you see a drunk on the street, do you say, "Lets give him a bottle of vodka."

So, how about we teach people to not need anyone or anything in order to survive.

A person who can ignore the foibles of government is a truly free person.

Dependency is nothing more than slavery.

 

[Mac-7]

So **** em? Let em go hungry?

Able body Americans might have to cut back on the snacks or even God forbid, find a job

But they wont starve

 

[Zincwarrior]

Maybe that 12% could make better choices.

If only they had chosen not to be born poor amirite!

 

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

If only they had chosen not to be born poor amirite!

You're not as far off as you think.

 

[Rawley]

I would submit you are not far off, and the reason has nothing to do with SNAP, the ACA or anything else.

The nationwide air travel system is breaking down. We are having normal days of 10,000 flights being cancelled or delayed now. In three weeks the Thanksgiving Holiday occurs and absolute millions will be attempting to fly. Screwing that up is a career ending event for both Congress and the Executive. They will need a week to get operations back up to speed.

So I figure next week.

The elections are over today. Schumer will finally free his slaves to vote their conscience

 

[berg80]

Welfare bums know that they can buy the costly stuff (lobster) with SNAP and still go to the charity food banks for the rest

Plus children get free lunches at school

So dont expect to see dead bodies in the streets anytime soon unless they are overdosing on drugs

It was inevitable that vestiges of Reagan's "welfare queen" polemic would emerge in defense of the guy who just spent a fortune (Dotard won't say who paid for it) to renovate the Lincoln bathroom. Something he was so enamored with he sent out dozens of pictures on social media.

Tone deaf much?

 

[Rawley]

If only they had chosen not to be born poor amirite!

Arguing welfare is generational is not a good look.

 

[leftwinger]

Salaries, perks, medical, costs, trips, parties, corruption, retirement PAYOUTS to DEEP STATE employees gets overlooked while we focus on SNAP.

 

[Zincwarrior]

Arguing welfare is generational is not a good look.

I am not. I am arguing being born poor means you are poor. Trump was born rich and is rich.

Its past time of welfare bums to learn how to fly and feed themselves

No one has to remain poor in America

Thats a lib copout

5 democrat senators can end the shutdown tomorrow

 

[Rawley]

5 democrat senators can end the shutdown tomorrow

THey will, by the end of the week.

 

[Mac-7]

America is the land of opportunity

The onus is on losers who choose to be poor
