DING DING F’N DING!

R’s need to learn this lesson. Stop catering to the welfare class, they are not going to give you their vote in any case.

Stop catering to illegals. Stop catering to bottom feeders.

I mean sure, you might get a swing of 2%, but the corruption of the dems will offset that in any event.

Stick to your guns and your morals, you spineless bastards!

Stiff upper lip! Even if you lose, you fought with dignity!

Better to get your ass kicked with dignity than to walk away through pandering and groveling. At least that’s what I was taught and what I teach my kids.

It slips my memory (dang age)right now, but what is the figure in dollars of food stamps that is estimated that is being sent overseas?

And what is the cost of advertising and food stamps being sent to Mexico now?

Maybe if we put a clamp down on (heaven forbid) by prosecuting the low lifes selling these overseas and quit the insane advertising in MEXICO we would only have to cut 35 billion.

Since SNAP is a “Farm Program”, here is a modest proposal. Government buys US grown farm produce, meats and dairy at market price. Those who qualify currently for SNAP can go to the Government ran food pantry and get these (US grown only) farm products to supplement their food budget. Michelle can manage the menus and product availability to ensure her peeps have access to wholesome foods.

Of course, also shut off the damn EBT cards that are used for everything *but* food. I saw a guy buy a $50 bottle of bourbon with one just yesterday. I looked at my $20 bottle of Jim Beam and thought: “What a sucker I am going to work everyday.”

these articles never mention how much the program actually spends and if this cut is really just a reduction in the rate of growth over 10 years or something

Didn’t get a good look at the stamps. I’m sure I will see them again...and again, etc.
