You mean like forcing OSHA mandates through that would force mass firings? Or is firing people during a pandemic not cruel?

This. Its the old saying that the many ruin it for the few that do actually need it. The program was started after Great Depression for those in actual need.

Majority of today's users have used it as a way to game the government to pay for their poor choices.

Todays system need MAJOR reform.

The only other options are:

A) euthinization

B) malnourished and physically fricked up children

C) separating children from their mother

D) make food stamps way more like WIC and cut out the crab legs and Little Debbies and soft drinks

E) increase work requirements

Yeah I think there needs to be serious reform with the program but in this case it's going to be children who suffer the most.

So….yall are okay with children going hungry if you think their parents didn’t work hard enough for it?

I mean, if I had a worst enemy with hungry children I’d feed them. Because they’re innocent children.

I volunteer at a food bank once a week. Every once in a while we see someone who looks like a freeloader but almost everybody is elderly, disabled or both.

All your expendable income goes to hungry children right? Your time as well? I bet you could sell your house and feed plenty of kids. It truly sucks children are affected, but the government is not their parents.

They could have chosen to buy food, but chose to get their weave tightened, etc. Money is a fungible good. All WIC, SNAP, and the other 20 some odd food programs do is free up people to spend their dollars on non essentials.

Besides, they can always hit up a food bank, a church, the day old bread store, etc. But none of those are likely to give them Hot Cheetos and soda.

These two; food stamps should be like wic. Fruit, veggies, starch, dairy and protein (limited to fish & poultry). End of discussion

If you are going to have these benefits they should be assistance and not handouts. Prove you are actually low income, require drug tests, prove you are taking your kids to the dr and dentist as well as enrolled in school. If you cant do these things then bring back public works projects and start digging ditches.

This is what should happen

But the big processed food lobby is strong

I would love to know what percentage of Kraft, CocaCola, etc revenue comes from EBT

Some people legitimately need the assistance.

It's those who don't and abuse the system that ruins it for those less fortunate.

You left one out.

How about taking fricking responsibility for yourself and the kids you spit out?

Of course you lefties don't really dig responsibility much I reckon

So because I don’t sell my house to feed hungry kids makes it good and fine that you don’t care about hungry kids at all.

Whatever helps you sleep at night.

Being a slave to handouts is worse.

Why do you want that for people?


And not one person is rooting for wic to end. Snap and Wic are different things.

It's one thing to root for food stamp reform. Few things in life are more frustrating than being in line behind somebody at the store buying a bunch of junk food and soft drinks with a food stamp card.


No one is stopping you from donating your life savings to those in need, if you feel so inclined.

While you are at it, just sell everything you own and donate it to the poor.
