And nutraloaf.
As much nutraloaf as they care to eat.
They should be glad they're only dealing with the Trump administration, and not me.
I was always taught that beggars can’t be choosers. You don’t like beans and rice, be grateful for it anyway until you can get a job and buy what you like with your own money.
BINGO! You win the internet today.
Yeah, and if their kid is getting 2-3 free meals a day at school, reduce the MREs that family will receive. The duplication in “feeding the children” is scandalous, IMHO.
The government Clingons are in charge. Kiss this baby goodbye.
That's what getting a job and earning your own money is for.
“Liberals outraged”
Do it anyway.
Outraged is the normal state of being for liberals. Plenty of time and $$$ wasted to prove once more that their way never works.
Not to mention the runaway fraud involved .. misuse of the benefits .. etc.
< snicker >
They'll save on toilet paper that way ...
I would imagine the recipients would get more “bang for the buck” through this program, and certainly more healthful food. The thing that bothers me about the program as presently structured isn’t that some may choose to blow $$ on steak or lobster, wasting $$ that would be better spent, but that recipients can “trade” the discounted $ value for actual cash. I.e., I can sell you $50 worth of my food stamps at the grocery store for $25 cash. I can then take that $25 to spend for Brother Booze that the food stamps won’t allow. There’s always a way around these restrictions. Always.
If I’m going to feed you, for free, you don’t get a say in what you get for supper. Beer, Twinkies, and Marlboros ain’t food in My World, fool.
Learn to cook. I’m thinking red beans and rice. That could be a good place to start.
From the “old fardt”,
The Democraps are out to control and destroy you, to where you accept their ‘crumbs’, if and when they think you are approved to have them.
Chipping away at any method that the Democraps have entrenched, to make the populace free from the yolk of government bondage will make them squeal.
Real food is better ! They used to give real food and people ate it just fine. And their kids got fed. Giving away money leads too often to drug and booze purchases —-and hungry children.
We had black beans (is that racist) and rice last night. Yummy.
Yup! Pretty much the same story here.
Great point. I wish I had started a document collecting all the hypocrisies of the Rats a long time ago.
What do you mean ‘anyway’? If you do something and a lib isn’t outraged, you did the wrong thing. They’re an excellent barometer.
So Michelle Obama tinkers with school lunches and it’s all Big Brother telling people what they should eat. Now along comes Department of Agriculture telling food stamp recipients the same thing?
McDonald's is banishing cheeseburgers and chocolate milk from its Happy Meal menu in an effort to cut down on the calories, sodium, saturated fat and sugar kids consume at its restaurants.
Diners can still ask specifically for cheeseburgers or chocolate milk with the kid's meal, but the fast-food company says not listing them will reduce how often they're ordered. It says after it removed soda from the Happy Meal menu four years ago orders for it fell 14 percent.
I think I remember that the government commodities food given out in the ‘50s and ‘60s included delicious peanut butter, and powdered eggs. Maybe add those to your list.
Beans of color.
“OMG! He wants to bring back slavery!”
I know! That’s the Dem’s area of expertise! If they can’t keep you tethered to them PHYSICALLY, they at least enslave you spiritually. ;)
