Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
?
@AOC

My family relied on food stamps (EBT) when my dad died at 48.

I was a student. If this happened then, we might’ve just starved.

Now, many people will.

It’s shameful how the GOP works overtime to create freebies for the rich while dissolving lifelines of those who need it most. LINK

It’s like she didn’t read it OR she assumes her vapid base didn’t.

The work requirement would only impact able-bodied, childless adults between the ages of 18-49 which means her family would not have been impacted by this requirement at all.

But you know, she’s never been one to care all that much about being factually correct as long as she’s morally correct, right? LINK

If she was a college student taking food stamp money she should be ashamed of herself!

A quick look at the people in Walmart check out lines who pay with EBT cards will confirm that none of them are starving under the Trump administration...and that most are quite the opposite.

So her Dad didn't pay into Social Security?
I know when my Dad died at 37, the money that my Mom got paid every month was actually pretty sizable. We didn't need food stamps, I can tell you that.
Also, she would have kept receiving a check from SS as long as she stayed in school.

Too bad they obviously couldn't afford birth control under the H. W. Bush administration.

Whatever the details of the new policy, it will have a minuscule effect on government spending. Just a”feel good” action for the conservatives. Trump definitely knows how to manipulate an audience. Especially when that audience is so willing.

bodies on the streets after tax cuts!

10 years left before the climate swallows us all!!

now, many people will starve!!

This is equivalent to internet doomsday clocks, counting down days from the Mayan calendar when the world will end. Everyone gets a good laugh at it, assuming even liberals, but they don't laugh at this?

There is no difference.

No mentally competent person in the United States is involuntarily going without enough food (which I define as sufficient calories and micronutrients to sustain life and general health).

In addition to the wasteful, overlapping and relatively unchecked federal, state and local anti-poverty and nutrition support programs (which are dizzying when you dig into them), there are also numerous faith-based and other private, non-profit organizations dedicated heavily or solely to preventing this exact thing (e.g. Food Bank, various church food drives).

SO, I'm going to go ahead and (YET AGAIN) call out the gentle lady from the Bronx's bullshite for being bullshite.

So, you admit you don't know?

But you jump to this. Interdasting.

Hell, I will concede this point. Will folks "starve" as AOC suggests (which is the point of this thread)?

I'll hang up and listen.

AOC has been very quiet lately. That or she hasn't been in the media much.

Looming ethics complaints have that effect.

They only let the muzzle off now when it will benefit Shaky Nancy.
