Slashing SNAP (food assistance) in the US

"oby" did not create snap ; we know that. We also know he bought his position by appealling to that segment of the population.

 

Oh SNAP! No they did'ent!

 

Just thought I'd throw this in. Old news=Top 1% controls 46% of the worlds resources. Top 10% control 86% of GLOBAL wealth. So, I suppose the quicker programs for those who control next to nothing are eliminated, the aforementioned stats could be altered upward.

It's appears to only an EBT error, but I'm hearing reports that EBT cards are being denied in several states, today.

If you want people to revolt, turn off the food and lights for a week. Also, the estimation is that after a week, people will walk voluntarily into camps. Hud runs out 11/1 too unless they fix it....curious isn't it? I have not heard anything about ebt being fixed yet, but I guess we will find out 11/1.

 

When do parasites become predators?

 

you should be happy rip they just cut stamps by about 5%(at least in OR)

 

let them eat cake!!!!of the no frills brand.

 

I think alot of the people enlisted in SNAP need the assistance that is provided, and I also think there is abuse being done by others who need to get off their dead asses and go to work. It wouldn't take a genius to sort them out. The government allows abuse as it gives them power over those people, but of course everybody now gets screwed because the politicians and bankers have finally fine tuned the economy. You are next in line for a good fucking by the pols and big money, so you might as well go ahead and bend over and hope the Fed and DC gang bring plenty of lube, or it's really going to hurt.

 

Think this is to save us all from GMO. AgroBiz will love it.....NOT!

 

Anyone check out Craig's list classifieds for SNAP cards? For those of us taxpayers , how does sodomy feel? Usually, $100 for $60. So , you see , even in a socialist economy , capitalism survives. Seems my SNAP card carrying 420 growing friends have a good idea as well. They use the SNAP program to purchase raw materials for their 420 medible operation. Again , capitalism survives. Just think by bribing voters with the SNAP card , barry has enhanced the medible marijuana industry.

 

And if they dp get caught using their snap card improperly they face federal charges.

Grow the fuck up. GTFO

 

Yeah my "parasites rule!" "Work smarter not harder!" dumb ass kinfolk think the same trashy crap. They will realize they were the biggest suckers and most endangered species of all by new year....

 

I notice they don't make budget cuts anywhere of interest to corporate lobbyists. If they succeed in their cuts the money will end up going out to various corporations and government contractors that are ripping us off.

 

That seems to be all it is and instead of even trying to be reasonable, even more try to get in on the act. Competing to grab a chunk while it lasts. Like rabid consumer bots at a white sale.

 

that would be interesting indeed, if not also terrifying. would be fun to see what it brings out in people and who snaps....

 

It's not this round that is gonna cause any "snaps". That comes next Spring...

 

because of these cuts, there are going to be even more Americans going hungry.

 

My wife lost her job back in June and we've been getting by on a single income. But we aren't eligible for any assistance, which I think is bullshit. So I just work harder and pick up extra work when I can.

I think most SNAP recipients could and should do the same………..

 

Lemme get this straight, you think it's bullshit you aren't eligible but you think those that do receive benefits are just lazy? :biker: Sheesh!
