Why is it I can make a pot of black beans with ham hocks and the additional ingredients are Mexican Bulb Onions, Poblano Pepper, little cumin powder, pepper, and two chicken bouillon cubes for less than ten dollars!?!
It will feed four people easily, so if I can cook this while not being on the government welfare system why is it the poor can not do this!?!
Again if you want Steak and Lobster then get a damn job!
Yeah...that's not happening for $10. You have to take into account your initial investment on buying the cumin powder and pepper, even though you might be using only a small portion of it. A bag of beans $2. Ham hocks... $3-4. Onions $1. Poblano Pepper $1, the chicken bouillon cubes $2. A thing of Pepper $2. Cumin powder $3. More like $14-15. But do you plan on eating the same thing every single day? And I'm sorry... but in all the time I worked in the grocery store I never saw anyone buying lobster or crab legs or anything like that with EBT.
You are so full of ******* shit you stupid *****!
I do it all the damn time!
You want to tell the taxpayer they should support your welfare ass and be allow to waste their money on whatever you want to eat!
The fact is the Government has the right to tell you what you can and can not buy and you do not deserve to eat like the rest of Americans if you need the welfare of others!
You should just get the basic and I will tell you that a bulb of Mexican Onions is fifty cents and you can buy Mexican products and not some high end shit either!
You want your cake and eat it too, and do not tell me how much it cost to make Black beans and Hocks because I make them at least once a week and I budget my bills down to the last penny!
Why is that Progressive Liberals like to tell taxpayers what they need to give to society and then demand those like me to mind my own business when you waste my tax dollars on steak and lobster!?!
Also you can not buy a two dollar steak anywhere, so which one of is the real ******* liar here!?!
Good idea....no processed food....
Learn how to handle unprocessed food.....
One more time. Define "processed food".
Yeah I don't get this argument. I had for lunch a few minutes ago a frozen meal that had a slice of meat loaf and mashed potatoes in it that cost $2. There is no way I could get all the stuff to make that meal and do it myself for $2... and especially not waste food since it is just me eating. So why would anyone want to take that away from people on SNAP? I'm not on SNAP, but shouldn't the best value for the budget be what matters the most?
Whole thing is being looked at bassackwards---------->
If I have 3 or 4 kids, and my total benefit from the government in food, housing, school lunches, heat assistance, etc............is equal to 15 hundred bucks a month, how much do I have to make per hour, to make it worthwhile for me to go to work!
Also, not trying to be a racist here at all, but how many black and illegal Hispanic children have their mothers last names! Know why that is? Because if they name the father, then the government tries to recoup some of that money from them, but if they don't, everybody is free and clear EXCEPT FOR, you got it, the American taxpayer!
Finally, the system is played, abused, and broken. Now, if YOU actually work and pay taxes, you should want this system FIXED! And, if the economy is so damn good as the leftists claim it is, you should be questioning why so many people are having to draw benefits to start with! Start demanding answers! It isn't about making poor people starve, it is about getting them food, AND not fleecing you the taxpayer on top of it! There is nothing wrong with wanting to give BOTH sides a win, the people who need it, and the people who are supplying it.
