Control the poor, deny the press, cut taxes for the rich....hitting the trifecta in early year 2.

I guess I have believed the stories that you can get lobster and cigarettes with EBT and stamps so this seems appealing.  I must be wrong

MAGA, in America's past, when it was great, lobster was a trash food that not even poor people would eat and they had to force it on prison inmates.

Dems:  We prefer programs that are often filled with waste, fraud and abuse.

The federal gov acquiring, packaging, shipping, and distributing food to every town in the country should solve the waste, fraud, and abuse for sure.

I think the USDA already does this for school lunches.

Don't recall saying the WFA would be "solved", how about mitigated.

Work with private sector.  Churches, Meals on wheels, food banks, shelters etc.  Not that difficult logistically for the vast number of recipients

Yes, coordinating this patchwork of a bunch of different private agencies sounds like it will be way more efficient than loading cash on a debit card.

What in the hell are you talking about?

I’m working under the assumption that everyone here is smart enough to know this is hilarious (at least inside where the libs can’t see).

Relying on a patchwork of private agencies will definitely solve fraud as well

He didn’t propose this to save money, he proposed it as a long term financial play for a business he will indirectly benefit from down the line.

I love the "control the poor" argument.  It's our money and we are GIVING it to the less fortunate.  I'm not a fan of my hard earned tax dollars being spent on booze, cigarettes and 44 oz big gulps.  Food stamps were meant as a way to FEED the poor....hence the "Food" part.  Anything that would provide FOOD to the needy I'm all for.

You can't buy booze or cigarettes with food stamps.

If the poor aren’t eating clean paleo diets they can go rot in hell ks what I always say.

Good point, this wasn't meant for people (like you i assume) that don't pay any income tax.  When I say "our money" i mean people like me that pay the bulk of the taxes in this country and am sick and tired of democrats (and now republicans) rough ridin' it away.

It is definitely awesome that kids go hungry so we prove a point about responsibility to their insufficiently grateful parents.

IMO not enough people seem to care at all about the children in these discussions.  I've said it before I don't mind losing some efficiency in the process if it results in more balanced meals for families.

It's hard to care about the children when their parents are being so poorly treated by the system.  How can a parent care for a child when there are no jobs???  And even if they have a job, big corporations won't pay them enough money and they have no opportunity to get a second job.  It's all incredibly unfair and in the end, the people that suffer are those that can't work because there are no jobs and their children.
