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

You also pay more for groceries because of the false demand created by SNAP purchases. Same goes for restaurants (fast food and otherwise) because SNAP sales are not affected when the prices go up.

I always in my head just want to casually tell them your welcome when they are checking out with Snap

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.

For a little more detail, the program was targeted at ABAWD's (Able-Bodied Adults Without Dependents). Within months of it going into effect, Maine's number for that group of recipients dropped from over 12k to something like 2k-3k and still remains around that even after over a decade.

This wasn't families, these were single adults who were abusing the system because the system was allowed to be abused.

And since then, not a single person is known to have died from starvation in Maine.

That will never happen. He talks crazy shite.

How yall expect babytac to survive?
