Just for context.
The average SNAP benefit is $177 per month.

We have six days until snap/food stamp cards might run out of money…predictions

1) People on food stamps buy high-end meat at Whole Foods when they SHOULD be buying ground beef at Safeway.
2) People who COULD be working full-time choose not to because part-time with food stamps is more appealing to them.
3) Baby daddies think they’re doing “their part” by getting their baby mamas onto food stamps instead of supporting their own baby.
For a family of five, it’s over $1000 a month.

Horse shit on the $1000 per month.
It will be more because yes…
Wait for it…
There are more people to feed.

Considering that red states and republican voters overwhelmingly use SNAP I will be curious to see which cities are the ones to burn first.
Somehow, we see no improvements. New strategies from the educated elitists may be needed.

As long as scammers and able-bodied people are thrown off, or tapered off, fine.

Your attachment says $174 per person. X5 IS CLOSE TO $1000/MO as other poster suggested. ($870).
Single mother 5-kids ~= $1000.
To eat on $250/wk for 6, don't buy junk, cook at home. Heat up leftovers, eggs bread milk butter will need to buy several times per month? Kids bring P&J to school lunches only. $1 for milk per kid? Or is that all free too?

So, you object to foreign aid so much that you are willing to starve children to protest it?republicans control congress, in case you havent noticed.

It is Democrats who are blocking SNAP and WIC. Starving children instead of passing a clean CR so those hungry kids can be leverage in the Democrats' fight for illegal border crossers, the reluctant to work, and PBS.
Well, duh…I said the $1000 (which is non-taxable, so it’s equivalent to a person having to EARN $1,300) is for a family of five. Plenty baby mamas have three and four kids before they’re 30.
Other people work just part-time - enough to keep food stamps going - while they still live with THEIR mothers. It is not uncommon for a 40-year-old unmarried woman to have five children ranging from 2 years old to 22 years old, with the 22-year old not working at all because SHE has a baby, and the 18-year-old working part-time only. The multiple fathers are paying nothing, and all seven are on food stamps.
We need to put a stop to this system.
For every "White" Riot there are dozens of "Black" Riots... even during difficult times...
The Odds are greatly in favor of Black (Blue) cities rioting long-before and far more extensively than White (Red) cities.
Given the extensive history supporting just that perspective in the 20th and 21st centuries your remark was disingenuous.
well when you put it that way.........

Being a special ed teacher in a largely Hispanic district, a large percent of my students' families are on the dole.
I have one high school female, who lives with her mother and two older sisters. Just getting her to come to school is like pulling teeth. She sees her mom and sisters still in bedclothes or still in bed when she gets up and dresses for the day and thinks it is unfair that she has to go to "work."
One sister is on the chubby but normal scale. Mom, the student, and the other sister are literally morbidly obese. The student is so obese that I doubt she could carry a pregnancy to term, plus she's not exactly a magnet for the boys. So she won't be following mom's example of having babies with no man around except for donating the sperm, and then collecting lifetime welfare.
Other than the obesity, it's a pretty typical situation. Less corpulant women often do have a man in the home, working hard at an under-the-table job, while the women use SNAP and WIC to buy supplies for their seasonal tamale business.
They are a hard working bunch, by and large, but the Democrats managed to make them dependent anyway.

I favor steady capital formation by the middle class. The lower class needs to improve their lifestyle, mainly their health. The rich sow capital and reap profits. The middle class is their primary target customer. If the middle class saves just a bit more instead of buying every shiny new thing the rich produce more capital will accumulate there and less will flow back to the rich. Consider that the black community has buying power of over a $Trillion/yr, which they largely spend on shiny thing. Little is saved so the black community is always struggling to achieve the capital needed to advance.

Biden's inflation cost US families $11,400 in buying power. Most people can't buy a house or afford healthcare insurance. Family formation and birthrates are falling off a cliff. Yet the top 10 % are gaining wealth. Its a house of cards unless something is fixed.
