SNAP Back!

Trump still meddling with SNAP.

Donald J. Trump leaves the United Kingdom after he got upset over world leaders mocking him at the NATO summit. He whines about how he was treated. His predecessors never were mocked in public or by hidden camera. Even George W. Bush had more respect than Trump.

There is impeachment inquiry into his actions. The House Judiciary Committee is now getting witness statements from legal scholars.

All of this happening right now.

For the millions of Americans who are struggling in Trump's "wonderful" economy, you're going to suffer more. If you lost your job, had your home destroyed by natural disasters, lost a family member to some form of violence, have mental issues, can't get a job because you're a felon or you're working two jobs to at least maintain a viable income, you might want to start screaming in your local U.S. lawmaker's ears.

Looks like Trump wants to meddle in your kitchen.

The Department of Agriculture will make it tougher for states to exempt unemployed people from work requirements.
Trump has to be weighing at 280 lbs. He is a 73 year old obese man.

The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) feeds more than 40 million people. Most of them are children. The new rule will cut benefits to families and it will knock nearly 1 million off the rolls.

This is going to cause chaos especially with rising food prices, rising energy prices, cost of living expenses and constant economic uncertainly. This "welfare to work" is utter bullshit.

The poor and working class deserve a plate on the table with food. Mostly communities in West Virginia, Arkansas, Mississippi, Alabama and Kentucky are going to feel this. States with white poor and rural folks will suffer.

If you believe it's aimed at African Americans, Hispanics and Native Americans, then you're right as well.

The USDA under Sonny Perdue has became a controversial agency. Corruption and lack of oversight has plague the organization. The USDA will eliminate the broad-based categorical eligibility for food stamps, a measure that allows recipients of certain non-cash public benefits to automatically qualify for food.

Rep. Marcia Fudge (D-OH) took a deep sigh and said that Republicans are clueless and hopeless.

"The president has cynically weaponized USDA as a blunt political instrument, in clear opposition to its mission to 'do right and feed everyone,'" she said. "It's an unacceptable escalation of the administration's war on working families."

Sonny Perdue lucky the milk in the ice cream ain't bad.
Once again, things that lead back to Sean "Softball" Hannity.

For years, the far-white agitator and "shadow" advisor to Trump has been on radio and television ranting about millions on food stamps and welfare. He driven the narrative that millions of Americans are taking from the government. He probably told Trump about these "statistics."

Democrats should just say Republicans are meddling in your private lives.

They want to control what you eat. By cutting food stamps and regulating food content, they want you to stay committed to foods that are deemed unhealthy. They want to pull back regulations and allow contaminants into the food and water supply.

They want to control what you want to do for luxury. So if you want to smoke e-cigarettes they'll ban you from doing those. You want to bring a computer on an airplane, you can't do it. But if you want to stockpile firearms and explosives, go for it. You want to own semi automatic firearms? Go for it!

They want to control when you want to have sex. They want to outlaw a woman's right to sell her body for sex. They want to ban same sex couples from adopting children or removing biological children from homes of same sex couples. They want to tell young children when it's right to have sex. They want to outlaw adult-orientated porn.

They want to control a woman's right to choice. A woman who doesn't want children or is raped by a sexaul predator is forced to have a child. States and federal governments want to close the window of conception to force women to endure dangerous pregnancies.

They want to force religion into your schools, government buildings and workplace. They want to force Christianity in schools. They ridicule Islam. They don't want agnostic or atheists working in government and they want you say not kneel to the American flag.

They want you to pledge allegiance to foreign countries like Israel and Russia. They want you to sign loyalty oaths, block financial assistance and entry into the United States if you support terrorists or countries that oppose American influence. They want you to support Israel, no matter what. They don't believe Russia is meddling in our elections. They want you to accept foreign influences in our elections.

All the reasons to why I can't understand why Democrats aren't strong enough to beat Trump. They practically have a list of issues they can hammer Republican on. Yet, they're lining up timid candidates who obsess over Trump and lawmakers who pass these laws and the agitators who promote them.
Ohio lawmaker Marcia Fudge slams the USDA for cutting SNAP. The Cleveland-based lawmaker is considering a challenge to Nancy Pelosi if the Democrats retain the House of Representatives.

The safety net: It's this thing that helps the middle class and lower class. The safety net prevents Americans from rioting and/or looting. The safety net stops people from shoplifting from stores to feed their families.

The safety net prevents a person from robbing you of your luxuries.

The safety net is only 10% of the federal spending. The way some people put it, 50% of the federal spending goes to food stamps and welfare. Some people believe that the safety net is making people lazy. And this is the stuff I've heard from people who think that it will never happen to them. They get their arousal over a person using an EBT card to pay for name brand items or expensive food.

With the rising food and gas prices, people are turning to food stamps, food banks and government assistance to keep themselves from landing in the homeless shelter.

Without a safety net, these people will rob and kill those who have the luxuries of having food in the refrigerator or in the pantry. They would steal fuel, water, bread and meat to keep feeding their families. And yet, these Republicans and their conservative allies are thinking the poor are the reasons for the economic recession. Perhaps those who complain about the poor, should walk a day in that person's shoes!
