I've changed my mind after reading this article.

NPR

We can't have people starving to death because of this shut down.

Trump 6D chessing these fools. Going to put them to work or starve them, build the wall, pay off our debt, and get his own Rushmore built after we crush Chini.

We might actually lower healthcare costs if this happens.

I would guess more than half of people on food stamps are unhealthy and fat.

Good thing we're at peak employment where we have more available jobs than folks to fill them. That tells me that everyone who CAN work is....

Hmmm... lots and lots of questions in that article, but my first one would be how did they choose their person they used to frame this article around?

White, married, homosexual, with 2 small children and a full time job who receives approximately $150 a month ...

I am not sure that is a great representation of the average SNAP recepiant

Giving February "payments" two weeks early to people who have zero ability to save and budget is maybe one of the dumbest ideas ever

I am shocked that you people are so insensitive to the plight of the poor in America. Shocked, I say.

People on food stamps could use a little starving. Many of them are morbidly obese.

Or one of the smartest... give them their $$ early and then wait till about the 10th to let them know next months ain’t coming... I guarantee they will begin to panic and start flooding their representatives with complaints as soon as that free money runs out early

When I first saw that picture I thought this was a troll. No way NPR would seriously use that picture in this article. Unbelievable lol.

you mean people incapable of bettering themselves are also incapable of taking care of their current selves? interesting. Good thing we allow them to breed, they just need more money from the EIC!!!!

How utterly pathetic to whine about your welfare have to last an extra week or two.

What do you think this lesbian couple gets per month?? $500 or so. So they are going to have to come up with maybe $250 to make up the shortfall and they have 8 weeks to do it??

She should ask that grocery store if they have 5 or 6 hours of work per week she could do.


Mrs. Rubich is a stay at home mom whining? Get some friggin self respect.
