Responsible SNAP Budget

[1srelluc]

The local Walmart refills the frozen crab leg bunker after they close for the night on a Sunday night.....At 0610 on Monday morning they are all gone......All paid for with SNAP.

I would say so.

Especially when it protects you from having to prove your claim.

Was this board even here? Thats nearly a decade ago.

Check my join date.

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

58% of SNAP recipients are children or elderly. Maybe they can go to work building trump's ballroom to keep the cost from going over $300M.

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

You assume the kids are getting free lunches, when funding for Free and Reduced meals was one of Trump’s first targets.

Other than that, your numbers wouldn’t feed a couple of retired people for a month.

Not that it is important.

The issue is that Trump and his GOP lickspittles were trying to kill SNAP all together.

Farmers and poor families are victims alike.

Sorry, I don't have a time machine to go back. If I did I would be a lot more wealthy. Don't blame me, I voted for McCain and Romney.

Oh wow. You're old....

We really should limit what SNAP can be redeemed for: inexpensive beef and chicken, canned goods, bread, milk, eggs, cheese.

You want crab legs? Get a job!

Personally I think SNAP should not be giving out cash at all but rather give the recipients food--all the dried beans, rice, powdered milk, maybe some canned green and yellow veggies and healthy fruit, vitamin supplements they need for an adequate diet. Baby formula if a physician deems that necessary.

And the able bodied should be required to show evidence they are working and/or performing so many hours of community service in order to get that.

The taxpayer saves billions while no one goes hungry or malnourished. The poor would likely be more healthy and better nourished in fact. And it would provide the dignity of working for what they get to those receiving it and go a long way to breaking the entitlement mentality that we have imposed on far too many Americans.

And you know this how? Did you stake out the bunker all night, and follow the customers to see if they used a SNAP card.

Or did you just make it up.

All you do is lie.

SNAP never gave out cash.

As an aside, see the banner at the top of the page in brown?

What Can SNAP Buy? | Food and Nutrition Service

www.fns.usda.gov

That is a violation of the Hatch Act. Just another example of the regime's lawlessness.

Sure they would. A mother with three little kids? She’d have left over, as my OP showed: after everything I listed, she’d still have $200 - and that’s with HALF the SNAP.

And remember…..this was set up as a “supplement”. It was not intended to give people enough to buy all the food they need, or want.

It’s just that libtards have made the payouts so high that people now ***** of it doesn’t cover all their food on their wish list.

And you know this how?

The store manager is a friend.

BTW....My butcher told me that his best cuts are bought by SNAP holders and often resold right out in the parking lot.

I seldom shop there but I have seen the empty frozen crab leg bunker.

I think we should go back to food banks and vouchers. Or, specific grocery stores - they could be called “SNAP Food Supply Stores” - that shelve the basics, and welfare recipients can redeem their vouchers there.

We have that: Aldi

Cash equivalent. The money is loaded onto their EBT card.

 

[Lisa558]

Never been there.

But what I mean is that vouchers should be redeemable ONLY at “SNAP Food Supply” stores.

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

Hunger is a great incentive to work. I've always said that the MAXIMUM welfare benefit including SNAP, section eight housing and everything else should be a dollar less than the net minimum wage salary for 160 hours of work.
