No need, you forced your way in. Youre already quite the gossip


What about Trumps collectivism attracts a guy like you, who will take the brunt of his wealth distribution?


You seem to understand that under collectivism, a few people pay all the bills. Youre going to be one of those they strip of wealth.

What make a smart, successful and brilliant gent like yourself so tuned into working class socialism?

Of course, you have no clue about the issues you support. Like Trumps wealth distribution. Better to shut up than make a bigger socialist out of yourself.

The number 1 items purchases with Snap is soft drinks. It should pay for basic healthy foods, not bullshite. If you are poor, drink tap water.

Congressmembers would be in favor of that, because they hate to legislate.



The public should be terrified of it, because the checks and balances on EOs is the court system.

Avoiding congress has its benefits, but just like has happened, it will all be challenged by the courts.
And overturned in 4 more years by the next EO writing president with a D by their name.

It's like we forget who we're talking about sometimes.

We talk about getting "jobs" and "work" like it's as easy as picking Japanese plums fro a tree. But someone has to actually offer jobs to these people. Would you?

It turns out that, in this country alone, there are millions of just flat out unemployable people that no one would hire for any job. Pretending like all they have to do is to 'go out and find work' is unrealistic.

Good, healthy food should not be as expensive as it is, and its quite expensive. At the very least, we need to find a way to drive the cost of protein down. Just my opinion.


Get the frick out of here.

Tens of billions are spent on soda, candy, ice cream, etc.

Surprise, surprise, the people who always make their decisions for today, who are slaves to their impulses, who lack control and virtues, can't fricking run their lives for shite.

Reality is going to hit eventually. We can't fund this forever.

My advice is pretend this is the walking dead and stay TF out of cities. When the bottom falls out the gimme dats, who are already responsible for 50% of the murders when you're paying for everything, are going to get even worse.

Reality is that inflation has made food too expensive for many Americans.

OK - we had that in the 30's - and FDR put them to work providing support for the National Parks ---- most of that was very well done - servicable and still useful to this very day. I've visited most the the national parks and am very impressed with what they did.

There is a LOT of clean-up work that could be performed by those able-bodied males on welfare - plus those who really deserve it could be used for even more useful work.
Any able-bodied person should have to do SOMETHING useful for their freebie.

And we need camps for people who cannot support themselves, have no friends or family to give them a hand, have no desire to engage in some training to become employable --- put them there til they can at least prepare for useful work.

We've put off natural selection so long with interventionist policies that we've create a massive underworld.


Need to stop placating the poor and the rich, and concentrate on fixing the economy to where it works for all again.

No, we didn't. We had factory workers who were laid off looking for work, so the government made jobs for them. Is that what you want, FDR era jobs programs? Socialism much?

Cut off all SNAP benefits until big grocery and big food cuts their prices by 50%
It’s nothing but a payoff to big corporations

Bread is ten loaves for dollar each every other week. Bagged cereal still exists. One can buy food at Dollar General.
