LA SNAP -- 25 percent given per week

Hundreds of state workers being furloughed....SNAP for non elderly and non disabled will be loaded onto cards at a rate of 25 percent per week.

Les Miles has lost control of SNAP!

When the wealthy get tax breaks or bailouts, it’s called 'trickle-down economics.' No one bats an eye on here.

But when the poor receive any kind of assistance, they’re branded as lazy freeloaders who just need to 'work harder.'

In both cases, the middle class pays for it.

Plus they can't pass a drug test.

Tell me, what employment opportunities or municipal enrichment do SNAP recipients provide their communities?

"The Poor" are being represented by expensively tattooed individuals of considerable weight and history of, well, poor choices.

Are they all like that? Probably not... blame the media for making the face of SNAP trashy, fat and lazy.

SNAP for non elderly and non disabled
This should not exist. Why can't these people pick up an extra shift/job or cut back on expenses like the rest of us did when we didn't make a ton of money

The elderly in Louisiana on SNAP is not even close to being the majority

quote:

---

In fiscal year 2022, Louisiana had about 794,922 people receiving SNAP.

Over 37% of those SNAP participants were in households with an elderly (60+) or disabled member.

That equals roughly 294,000 elderly or disabled SNAP participants (or people living in households with someone who is elderly or disabled).

Of which, no one has a problem funding and providing for this group. No one.

Yet, they’ll ignore the other 63% which we do have a problem with and nothing will be done to curtail that waste.

The topic of disability fraud isn’t even beng discussed yet.

Do you think they will pick up any job applications while they are driving around picking up their groceries?

They've been trying really hard to justify SNAP for non-working healthy people

Some liberals even tried to claim that putting your groceries on credit cards is the same as SNAP because they are both handouts. They probably have shitty credit, so they have no idea how credit cards work.

Snap benefits for non disabled and non elderly should be based on hours worked.

I know that it would be costly to administer SNAP benefits this way, but it would be very much worth it. Not only financially, but bettering the community for all and bettering the applicants but forcing them to have at least a minimu of responsibility amd work ethic.

Have programs that make applicants ‘work’ in the community, picking up trash, city maintenance, cleaning drainage, etc. If there isn’t any work needed, they can work towards their GED by working state led programs that track progress.

Also, drug test for every applicant.

I don’t care if administrating a program like this cost MORE than current SNAP program. It would be worth it in the improvement of our society instead of incentiving these welfare queens and other lazy POS.
