IMO, a couple of big things the Trump administration did to try to help people:
The tighter restrictions on SNAP going toward snacks and sodas.
The work requirements.
Unfortunately, we have a lot of unskilled fat people who viewed that as a personal attack that must be stopped.
What happened in the South? Go to the cities or suburbs of LA, TX, MS or GA....what do you see?
Plenty of people in pajama pants and crocs at 9 a.m. or noon during the week. Time to go to Walmart!
They have no professional work history, no degree. Trump attacked the one thing they have....their calling card.
Little Debbies, cokes, etc.

The tighter restrictions on entitlement eligibility will barely make a dent in spending.

But free gifts from public coffers, or the taking away of said gifts, make a huge dent in voter sway.

Anytime an administration takes away the government freebies in order to save dollars, the freeby receivers are tremendously motivated to vote. Even the US economy takes a slight hit, an even bigger hit when the welfare corruption is figured in.

Is 38.629% of the USA economy dependent upon snap and other welfare fraud? Let's hope not!!

This is true on the surface. The popular line is those fudge rounds are not a big expense. How many medical cases and medical costs result from people filling up baskets with four 12-packs of coke and some Flamin' Hot Cheetos?

Stereotypes exist for a reason.

I was reading up on Islam and how it addresses the poor.


It's requires that all must have food, water and shelter to meet minimum sustanince levels and sets up a mandatory tithe for this.

BUT, not for the able bodied who can work.
It is haram to receive if you are able bodied.


I wonder if Abdul El-Sayed, Mamdani, or Ilhan Omar would support borrowing this principle and incorporating it into welfare systems.

That’s different to them because Muslims feel that non-Muslims must pay a jizya tax to them

They justify living off the government as a jizya in Europe and the US as if they are better than the native population and are owed that.

A really fricked up cancer on western society

Who gives a shite?

We should not be funding desserts for these people.


If they’re healthier, will that save costs down the road?

Screw em. Once you make allowances for one thing, they want three more things. Chop it off at the ankles.

A couple of things:

1. I’m speaking specifically about HR 1. The ban on sodas is inconsequential. That is easily worked around
2. By the time we save money on our poorer population not drinking Dr Pepper, our country’s economy will have crashed anyway

It’s not a “bad” step

It just isn’t remotely enough. If this is the best we can do, we are screwed.
