Trump New Budget Will End Food Stamps Benefits with Canned Goods Instead

[Non-StopJFK2TAB]

Can we relax for a moment? This is the administration’s idea of what the budget should look like. This isn’t law. Some may argue it’s the same budget from last year but with a different year.

At some point we need to stop getting hysterical as a reflex. He released this budget to drown out the senate daca debate.

. U HAVE TO STOP ASKING WHY BRO, U KNOW THE REASON.. ALL THOSE CHARTS AND LONG WINDED ANALYTICS IS BS...
ITS SIMPLE .......THE BARE THOUGHT THAT SOME BLACK PERSON ,SOMEWHERE ,SOMEHOW, SOMEPLACE ,IN SOME WAY, MIGHT BENEFIT FROM IT, IS ENOUGH REASON TO SCRAP IT,
EVEN IF THEY MIGHT BENEFIT FROM IT TOO IN LARGE NUMBERS

It still seems bizarre that they would risk a whole country of peasants storming the castle wall for bread just to fuck with a handful of Black people though. Shit would be like detonating a nuclear bomb on Compton and expecting Beverly Hills not to get pissed.

They aren't, this is simply a distraction from the other shit they're proposing.

They know this has no chance to get approved but they also know it will be what everyone focuses on instead of looking at the real cuts they're proposing and hoping to pass.

Trump on poor people: "Fuck 'em and feed 'em beans !!"

 

[Flawless]

I've seen people buy junk food in 711s with ebt cards then play the lottery with cash

ok and? why you watching what people spend their money on? Corporations are reporting record profits still get tax cuts yet cats are mad at what poor people spend their money on.

But here's the thing. You act like A) they wouldn't do that, and B) if they did and BH got pissed, it would be at the right people. White folks would still blame blacks or illegals or whatever for the inconvenience.

That's where we are right now. The people willing to manipulate the system aren't even trying to be clever anymore. They're just blatantly doing and saying terrible things. And instead of even pretending to be offended, every nasty bastard with a dark streak in their heart lines up to not just ignore it, but actively defend it.

There's nothing bizarre about doing evil shit to get rich. This canned food thing is just stupid for no reason.

They aren't, this is simply a distraction from the other shit they're proposing.

I take it back. There is a reason. Good Call!

No More EBT Card or Cash Benefits. This will be replaced with Canned Goods.
They all shitted when Mrs Obama wanted healthy food distributed,now they want to hand out canned goods and processed bullshit!!SMH dem fuckers!!!!

WASHINGTON ― Facing a trillion-dollar deficit because of his just-passed tax cuts, President Donald Trump has an idea for how to get some of that money back: making poor people eat beans and rice.

“Under the proposal,” Monday’s budget document says, “households receiving $90 or more per month in SNAP benefits will receive a portion of their benefits in the form of a USDA Foods package, which would include items such as shelf-stable milk, ready to eat cereals, pasta, peanut butter, beans and canned fruit, vegetables, and meat, poultry or fish.”

Republicans, and even some Democrats, have long complained that poor people allegedly use their food stamps for foods that are unhealthy or too expensive, such as steak, lobster or soda. (The truth is that according to the best available data, food stamp recipients eat basically the same food as everyone else.)

Doubtful. These packages are supposed to have canned goods, and you need education, not packages to overcome that sort of bad parenting.

When I was growing up, breakfast at school consisted of cereal with juice and milk but you could also choose pop tarts. Regardless, we weren't doing anything but starting the day with a sugar high.

Lets see if some of those rednecks can feel some pain.

yes punish poor people. great idea

How about they make healthy food accessible and affordible.

Not many options except junk food if you are poor and live in a poor area.

 

[ShortyCumStain]

Most of this stuff is about shaming the poor.

And as you know, many on this board absolutely despise da poor, many of which have da same melanated skin as themselves. Which is telling.

trump just doing this for relection points

 

[COINTELPRO]

The 2002 Farm Bill expanded eligibility to noncitizens, increased benefits for families with more children, adjusted benefits for inflation and made it easier to enroll. Further easing of eligibility requirements followed in the 2008 Farm Bill, which contained more than 30 provisions relating to food stamps, including higher minimum benefits. As the data show, spending after changes in eligibility grew by $185 billion between 2002 and 2008.

Similarly, the 2009 stimulus bill scrapped limits on SNAP benefits to adults without children and raised the maximum benefit by 13.6 percent through 2014. According to the Congressional Budget Office, about 20 percent of the $198 billion growth in between 2009 and 2011 can be attributed to the new eligibility standards, and hence will not go away once the economy recovers.

It could much worse compared to what Clinton signed off which was reducing elgibility. It shows President Trump is more pragmatic than Clinton and looking for ways to cut the program why maintaining the elgibility levels with immigrants and adults without children.

 

[Adam Knows]

No it wasnt..

Yeah it was. American cheese.

Its funny to think of it now but when we were little it wasnt treated as a welfare thing it was something offered for free. It was funny because EVERYBODY in the city we lived in was lined up to get this free cheese everybody was going on about

Republicans will use the last word from your post and run with it.

The welfare queens are using government to get “high”. I honestly don’t know how people take republicans seriously. They’re clowns.

 

[digital530]

yeah this guy

 

[Non-StopJFK2TAB]

when they gonna stop corporate welfare?

If I was a legislator I would tax cash reserves held offshore. If you have more than $20 billion of your cash elsewhere tax you at 95%. If your cash is on land it will be 90%.

You have to get tough on these companies.

South Dakota should not have 2 senators. Rhode Island should not have 2 senators. Delaware should not have 2 senators.

That wasn't a welfare breakfast, that is what everyone got, whether they paid for it or not. I think we may have qualified for free or reduced lunch and breakfast, buy my mom said she never applied for any of it because she didn't want to have us "labeled" at school.

My point was, even though I certainly don't agree with chips and soda for breakfast, if I wasn't eating at home, the official "most important meal of the day" was sugar enriched with a few vitamins.

Every state has two senators.

There are a couple states whose populations are so low, they don’t deserve to have 2 senators. Because of these inefficiencies we have policies that are being purported to represent the majority but it clearly does not.

I didn’t convey my point clearly. I’m going to go to bed and clear my mind.

The house has representation based on population, not the senate.
