Maybe you shouldn’t have given benefits to illegal aliens. Maybe there would be enough for our citizens.

Cue the White House to get that Dem. congressman to advise people to eat Chef Boyardee canned meals.

Send the welfare types out to pick fruits and vegetables.
Or stay in luxury hotel rooms with room service and narcotics delivered by courier.

Whichever they prefer.

$283/month

I don’t think I ever spent that much for food in any month.

“food insecurity”

It is easy to pay electronic benefits weekly instead of monthly.

RE: I don’t think a lot of Americans are in danger of going hungry.

Ask Stacey Abrams, Whoopi Goldberg and Jerry Nadler if they go to bed hungry. Might be surprised. 🍽️

It is time to put all the Larzaruses back in front of the rich mans’ gates and let the dogs lick their sores. They have proven to only be drains on the rest of us.

“you NEVER give people ... something and then take it away from them”

That’s the cool thing about bonuses. They’re just raises you can take away.

Commissions are the same sort of thing.

But you make a good point. Republicans don’t look good when they want to reduce entitlements.

The beautiful thing they won’t know it is happening until it happens. Then they freak out and that means it’s time to pop some corn.

They are cheap in California. A family of four get 695 a month for food assistance in Florida. Not sure if it goes down due to Covid funding drying up.

Try having a family of six. I spend at least 800 a month and that doesn’t include eating out. It’s a lot but luckily we can afford it.

I don’t believe they are on food stamps nor are they in poverty.

My hubby and I are on social security and Medicare. We get food EPT once a month...$20. When we applied and qualified, we were hoping to just get a little help with groceries. Well we did...get a “little” help that is. We were getting $16 a month until this years “raise”. What we do is save the EPT amount each month until a special occasion or the holidays and it helps us buy the turkey and fixings or the ham. But, we are grateful for even that. It does help.

You got that right! And those that didn’t pay into the system get just as much if not more.

yes they do, and little to zero information has to be given to receive any snap or financial or Medicaid benefits.
