SNAP/EBT/Food Stamps

[SCBills]

I have to say.. I’ve never had a huge opinion one way or another on this topic. 
 

Although I’m a conservative on most things, I’m generally for a societal safety net.

 

This shutdown, and looming SNAP “crisis” has been radicalizing as to how much these programs are simply hard working taxpayers subsidizing the lives of people who don’t want to work. 
 

It should be there for those who are truly disabled, can’t work or have fallen on hard times. 
 

It’s clearly become a permanent luxury handout program for, what might be, the majority of these programs recipients.

But we need illegals to do the jobs that Americans won't do...

 

Racist much btw when parroting that leftist talking point?

 

Turns out there are many Americans who won't do any job, period.

Related? Governance of those southeast states have failed their populations. 
Sometimes some change is good. Don’t know what to think about this issue.

Do you think this is why the Dems have shut down the government? To impact SNAP benefits and reduce access to groceries?  It tracks with Harris fear-mongering on COVID vaccines at the height of the pandemic.

for anyone that wants a good follow, caleb hammer who was the guy in the first clip is awesome.  he tries to fix people's financial situations, and absolutely lays into them for poor financial decision and laziness.  he's great.

 

concerning the benefits issue, i have no idea on the solution, but it certainly keeps people from working.  the year between college and grad school, i worked for a temp agency, not as a temp, but as someone who would staff the temps on projects.  we would often notice that otherwise relatively good workers would just stop showing up at times.  the reason?  if they worked to many hours or made too much, their benefits would be limited or gone.  it just wasn't worth them.

It's always just the same map.

 

Over and over.

26% of SNAP beneficiaries are black.  37% white.  This is a map of the poor of all races.  The poor are concentrated in the old south...both black and white and all other races.

According to SNAP Oregon, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Louisiana have the highest percentage of SNAP recipients.

Democrats need to step up and reopen the government before poor people starve.

Which means they're overrepresented by 100%.

Go to correlation between this and political parties. North Carolina is a blue state, Georgia a blue state South Carolina a purple state after years of being blue. Georgia and North Carolina have been blue for almost the entire existence. Virginia strongly blue. Alabama and Mississippi you have to look at on smaller levels but they have been failed by the same systemic problem. That problem isn't called systemic racism, it's called systemic Democrats. But Democrats are usually the most racist so here we are...

So you're saying 13% take up 26% of a resource? This isn't going to go or you think it will. Lololol

which means they're poor

from Ai

The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) primarily serves vulnerable populations, with about 39% of participants being children, 20% elderly individuals, and 10% non-elderly individuals with disabilities.

 

which group would you prefer to starve?  kids, old people or the disabled?
