So average snap benefits @$500 per family at 5,000,000 people is a savings of 2,500,000,000. And powerdufus says that’s not much.


Embarrass the shite out of these people.

STFU with this horseshite.

Deportations will have trickle down effects on spending. SNAP funding has been impacted by deportations coupled with new work rules. Enrollment decreased by 5.3 million less individuals receiving federal assistance. It’s progress and it’s just the beginning.

2 $546
3 $785
4 $994
5 $1,183
6 $1,421
7 $1,571

YUM Brands stock coincidentally down 13% the last month.

SNAP is thinly veiled corporate welfare.

More people having to work means more tax revenue

Plus every few billion saved matters

Less of a bad thing is a good thing. Especially if there are 5.3 million bad things.

Shocking when you actually see the amount broken out.

That's 95 BILLION, yes, with a B....

I witness these able-bodied folks every time I go to the grocery store. They always seem to have enough personal cash for cigarettes and liquor to ring up separately from their "essentials" like cake, soda, ice cream, and prime rib steaks.
