Ran across this article and kind of pointed out the problem with these benefits. Am i suppose to feel sorry ? This was the part that got me.
I say go back to the boxes of cheese and essentials there's no reason folks on these benefits should be able to say get whatever you need for free off the tax payer. Tired of the entitled group. This is why Rep win elections. Here is the full article. LINK

When Maine enacted the law that in order to get welfare you had to either volunteer 20 hours every two weeks or take 20 hours of job training, the welfare recipients dropped 77%. Every state should enact this. Either volunteer, train for work or you get nothing.
Evidently they didn't need it. I didn't seen reports of massive starvation deaths in Maine.

I get irrationally (rationally) angry when the person in front of me pulls out their SNAP card.
It's not always a queen with a brand new car in the parking lot. But it is most certainly always a load of groceries I would not buy because the stuff is too unhealthy or too expensive. Sam's club is the worst.

Nothing chaps my arse like going through the deli at Kroger and seeing "SNAP/EBT eligible" stickers on popcorn chicken and wings. What the frick are we doing America? Reform this bullshite.

This tells me that welfare needs to be cut by 90%.

frick SNAP.
Work or starve. Period.
Sadly, that will never happen, so need to go back to:
Block of cheese
Sack of rice
Sack of beans
Sack of oatmeal
2 lbs ground beef
Whole chicken
Loaf of bread
Once a month

It’s well recognized that, in smaller communities, most mom and pop grocery stores would cease to exist if it weren’t for SNAP. That said, snap should be for a standard set of staples that can be purchased at these grocery stores. Ie a box with flour rice beans powdered eggs, etc.

Texas giving them a “Lone Star Card” like this is something to take pride in, just pathetic.
Meanwhile we pay all the taxes and get next to nothing in benefits and absolutely never qualify for anything (that we the taxpayer materially fund)
Private school voucher - nope dont qualify. Trump account - nope dont qualify. Dumbass SALT Cap, reached immediately on primary home and lose out on majority interest write offs. Could go on for hours.

You pay for the groceries on the front end and the Medicaid for the diabetes / heart disease on the back end. What a country.

I suppose those promised ‘free’ checks from Trump are ok though right?

You’re comparing imaginary apples to orange soda. Anyone who accepts what Trump says at face value is beyond help after 10 years. SNAP is very real and very much abused.

First of the month is the absolute worst time to go there. Multiple carts filled to the point they are overflowing. Chips, cookies, snack cakes and of course, sugar drinks. I don't have to see the SNAP card to know what time it is. Meanwhile, I've got my 3-4 items and wondering if I really need one of them.

The "Plus" membership is worth it, only other local business owners are in there shopping and I am out of there within 10 minutes.

Also, the SNAP/EBT "card" needs to be 8x11 inches, hung in a chain, and have "broke arse" in gold and all-CAPS on it.

Popcorn chicken, and wings?
Popcorn chicken, and popcorn wings?
Popcorn is okay, I guess, if it’s just kernels for popping
Chicken is okay. Good source of healthy protein.
Wings? As in chicken wings? Maybe pushing it, but its more economical than steak.
I’m more concerned about the unhealthy food.
