...typical.
While we’re all showing how noble we can be, can I get some fee food for my family too?
What the hell? A mayor is going to “rough-it” with the po-people by getting and using some food stamps? Does that mean he’ll be eating nothing but oatmeal and Romin Noodles for a month? I think not.
Stupid political stunt. But those idiots out there (otherwise known as constituents) will give him an, “Aawwww. He cares about us and can relate to us. What a great leader!”
I could eat enough to become obese off food stamps and still have enough to barter for whatever else might strike my fancy.
What does a family of 5 get in some states? $1000?
$200 A MONTH FOR ONE PERSON.
Anyone who can’t eat well on that is proving he’s not all there.
Leftists tried to make a deal out of “eating on food stamps” earlier this year and found out the allowance is just too generous.
Food stamps, you should ask for nothing more.
Corey Booker is Rabbi Shmuley Boteach’s hero (remember him . . . “Michael Jackson’s rabbi?”). Believe it or not, Boteach actually ran as the Republican nominee for a House seat from New Jersey. I’m glad he lost. Can you imagine the damage that would have done to conservative/Jewish relations?
Food stamps were meant to be a supplement. People on food stamps typically receive welfare checks, or social security checks, or some type of modest pension. The publicity stunts where someone tries to buy groceries for a month on $200 worth of food stamps are just that, stunts. They were never meant to be the only way a person bought groceries.
MY sister’s family bit the bullet during hard times a few decades ago and went on food stamps for a few months. She was amazed and appalled at the sudden increase in their food budget, and stocked up on several YEARS worth of storable staples.
.Was there a weigh-in?
.Was there a disclosure about who was going to physically do the shopping? his Honor the Mayor or some schlepp as intern-shopper....
Okay, so we spend more than that for our family of four, but we pay for it out of our own pockets, and eat lots of gourmet, and almost never eat out. I have in the past and believe I could again eat well on $600/month if needed. I had a friend years ago who very temporarily received food stamps in order to get by after getting out of a very abusive marriage. She received about $320 for herself and 3 children (all too old for her to qualify for WIC). She was very frugal and saved a generous portion of each month’s benefits to help supplement for many months after she went back to work, which she did as soon as possible. There are too many fat people on food stamps and disability.
Does anyone think that this is a real challenge?
I’m sure it’s prearranged, with the shill and Booker both failing miserably. To prove how poor the SNAP benefits are, and how they need to be increased.
