Do you support food stamps?

It would be. At least then people using them for sure would have earned them.
With this lame poll, we have no idea if we are supposed to support food stamps for people that don’t need them or only for people needing them.
So there I was. It was a Tuesday morning at Casey's. The lady and I were looking over some definitely Casey's pizza. Suddenly, we are knocked to the side by this round man in a red shirt. He grabbed all of the pizza and exclaimed Oh Yeah. Defeated we got in line behind him with a bag of Combos. The red shirt man busted out an EBT and said rack it up, he paid, and walked out.
After we paid in cash for a Combos we went outside. The red shirt man was revving his Cybertruck over his speakers. I thought this is ridiculous, let's talk him and see where he goes. He went to several high end stores and bought many high prices items.
Eventually he drove off to his neighborhood. We tried to keep fooling him but the armed guards protecting the neighborhood put up the spike strips so we had to leave. I was never able to determine how many television her had.

The need for it only increases when we are subjected to minority rule by the oligarchs now as they cut it.
The cost is minimal compared to Trumps tax incentives for the oligarchs.
We felt a little funny about it. The letting her pick things out was the no pics wife's idea. I decided to follow. And that gif is hilarious. It was more like Maxwell smart and agent 99.Pick of Farmboy on an average day to grocery store

You can hate them all you want. You are going to pay for them one way or another.
Nope. It is not a sum zero equation. Maybe go back and repeat Econ 101.
What's a few trillion dollars of tax cuts over time for the rich when a poor person didn't purchase items that a random person doesn't approve of.
The thing is, the mom could very well have had a job. Many of the low wage jobs still qualify people for food stamps, especially if they have children. But instead of punishing corporations for paying wages that don't allow people to feed a family we want to punish the people working those jobs.
Exactly, the tax payer gets to subsidize the low wages for extremely wealthy corporations. Socialism for me but not for thee.
I went to a Mexican Restaurant today for lunch. Half the staff was gone.
Good luck America. You are losing folks that do the work you don't want to do.
I don’t think they should go away because there is a need. It sucks it’s abused by so many.
Fixing the border should help with homelessness. Might take a couple years, but the impact will be positive.
I have a friend who js a farmer and gets all sorts of free money from the govt. Every other year he goes on an alaskan hunt and next year he is going on a hunt in new zealand.. how does a guy on govt assistance afford to take these hunting trips that cost thousands of dollars?
B/C every farmer likes to complain that they are poor driving a new 60K truck every year.
Of course it is. It's not the end all be all, but could certainly contribute. Makes perfect sense, just have to think past the surface a little.
What do you mean "let's make this simple", our answers or what? I believe that in this super rich country which has all this ag food has 20% at least of kids that are food insecure, that people can't afford to feed themselves. It is sickening and already Trump and the Repub congress is talking about cutting SNAP and other programs to help people.
He probably saw FreedomPatriot1452566 on tik tok talking about it.
That is a stupid, unsympathetic answer as it is easy to tax the rich enough to transfer some of that tax money to people as tax credits/food credits, etc. So easy to solve but not enough guts to tax the rich.
I mean, do you support government providing food stamps. Blanket promises and actions seem to be the theme of the day.
If you’re getting a tax refund, it’s your own money.
COVID handouts happened only a few times.
EBT and utilizing to buy healthy and nutritious food is not a “tiresome” argument. We should all be eating like that.
There needs to be a statute of limitations on how long you can be given food stamps. Way too many people simply expect it to be handed to them for life. I am tired of working my ass off to take care of those who want to do nothing to earn their way through life.
Oh shit I need to check in on Peppers, El Jalisco, and Don Melchor. I’ll be in the middle of the empty restaurant scream crying “is this what greatness looks like?”.
A lot of them are scared right now. They know that the feds are going to weaponize them.
I would wager my life on that DJT employs illegals at Mar-a-Lago
Yeah, a little, but you kind of helped me with my point. Imagine if the billionaires that lined up at Trumps inauguration yesterday donated as much money to help solve food insecurity as they did to get him in office.
Investing in Trump gets them richer, helping the country with hunger does not.
They gave 200 million for his inauguration....that ended up inside. Wonder where that money went? Probably to feed kids.
People be like "They need to use food stamps for nutritious foods and not junk food" and then people be like "Frank and beans and not steak and lobster!"
