“… Relationship Between Obesity and Participation in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program … "
“…mental health was not a mediator in the association between SNAP participation and obesity.…”

    The Nutrition Assistance Program Now ALLOWS
“… ice cream; and snack foods such as cookies, cakes and soft drinks. …”

When it was, “food Stamps”, and I was a Kid. We watched the neighbors, THROW OUT, Wheels off Cheese,  for DOG FOOD !!!!!

Cans of Peanut Butter, thrown out for, SQUIRRELS, CHIPMUNKS, BIRDS.

Later in life, (Still ’Stamps’), when I took an outside smoke break, working at town mart-mart. When once a month, (as everyone called it), “the Eagle Shit’. The grocery store was INUNDATE with customers, who came out with a large ham. Then IMMEDIATELY WENT TO THE BAR, and came out with a long, skinny, package, and rushed to their NEW car.

(Which that Sat, the bar always advertised a, ‘HAM” feed)


Today, EBT is a Credit Card.  Which a signified amount of people use, and ALLOW Theft of !!!!!!!

     Again.
HELPING people that REALLY NEED HELP,

        Is good. Very good. And the HONEST people NEED it !!!!!!

GIVING MONEY TO, LAZY - LYING - STEALERS - CON-ARTISTS,
 
     Is BAD.

And that is 3/4 of the people the UL, FDS, DFI, WOKE SOCIALISTS want to give to, JUST because they say, Gimme, Gimme, Gimme !


“…for their own personal gain, such as lying about their income or identity to receive SNAP or selling their benefits for cash …”

“… - retailers that choose to break the rules — such as exchanging SNAP benefits for cash - selling items that are not allowable in SNAP - …”

“…Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins has reported that investigators have found “thousands and thousands” of illegal uses of electronic benefit cards, including 5,000 deceased recipients still drawing payments….”

“… An astonishing 42 million people now receive SNAP benefits, costing taxpayers more than $100 billion per year…”

“… geographic areas with heavy SNAP participation also suffer higher obesity and diabetes rates, …”

“… After the Department of Agriculture requested data from states on just who exactly is receiving the benefits, 21 states – all led by Democrats – either refused to respond or sued the administration. As Rollins pointed out, the states should have nothing to hide unless there are people on the program who shouldn’t be. …”

“… On my first day we told every state to send us their SNAP data so we could make sure illegal immigrants aren’t getting benefits meant for American families. 29 states stepped up. 21 blue states refused — and two SUED US FOR ASKING! And guess what? In just the states that cooperated, we’ve already uncovered massive fraud. The Democrat Party has turned its back on working Americans and built its entire strategy around protecting illegal aliens. They know if the handouts stop, those illegals will go back home, and Democrats will lose seats after the next census….”

And it goes ON, and ON, and On …….

And you,
  (to borrow a phrase)
Can't Handle The Truth !

      Yes Virginia,
(or should I say ‘Karin”).


There ARE people that NEED help in the form of EBT.
And there IS, a third that DO NOT.  
     They,
are STEALING from YOU.


“… SNAP Recipients Purged After USDA Uncovers Widespread Food Stamp Fraud …”
“… Rollins said that the Trump administration sent letters to all governors prohibiting illegal aliens from accessing benefits, with a historic request for state data to be audited alongside the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). She said only 29 states cooperated, primarily red and some blue states. …”
“… found some of the most shocking fraud ever, resulting in the purging of 700,000 ineligible recipients since the president’s inauguration …”

“… Some of the key findings she unveiled in the interview:

SNAP spending surged nearly 40% under Biden, linked to $100 billion in expenditures.
Thousands of ineligible illegals used EBT cards; one individual claimed benefits in six states.
About 5,000 deceased recipients were still receiving aid.  …"

“… 21 states that refused to send their SNAP data to the USDA are: California Colorado Connecticut Delaware Hawaii Illinois Maine Maryland Massachusetts Michigan Minnesota Nevada New Jersey New Mexico New York Oregon Pennsylvania Rhode Island Vermont Virginia Washington And, Washington, D.C.  …”

“…“These states are stonewalling because they know the fraud is massive. When you hide the books, it’s never to protect the honest folks—it’s to cover up the rot.

 Meanwhile, the states that did cooperate are already exposing exactly the kind of abuse the left swears doesn’t exist.”…”

Purity much sums up
the UL, WOKE, FDS,
   'bona fide',
SOCIALISTS view !!!

You've just proved you're not capable of actual thinking. If the minimum wage for an unskilled burger flipper were $20/hr, A just out of school carpenter would have a starting wage of $23-25/hr. You need to look up the word 'minimum'. The GOP's freezing of the minimum wage has nothing to do with stopping those fast-food workers from getting raises; it's about NOT GIVING ANYBODY RAISES. The lowest earners are not the same as skilled workers, licensed workers, and professionals. They'll ALL get raises, at roughly the same percentage. THAT will surely take a chunk out of corporate profits, and it should. Like it or not, that's the only way to get all those people off SNAP, that you hate so much.

It is simply what,
"...people who want the minimum wage to be a living wage ..."
As stated by a Socialist.

Who does not understand the burger flipper, and the Journeyman should be two different payments.

Because it would NOT BE Socialist.

That would be EVIL Capitalism.

We have two political parties in this country
One works to feed the hungry, heal the sick, shelter the homeless, help the needy
The other tries very hard not to
It tries very hard to give wealthy people more wealth and shelter them when they molest children or commit crimes

The goddess Maat weighed souls
Jesus teaches very similar laws
I'm surprised we still need to create gods to teach what any 3 year old already knows
We are all responsible for each other

Raise the pay scale and SNAP will not matter.
