It is said that the SNAP food benefits will soon stop. I guess that the folks doing the administration of the program aren’t “Essential Workers”….
I cannot find it in me to see the bad part of this, as most SNAP (Food Stamps) folks live on them, not as a temporary measure, but as income used as part of their budget….but mostly they also have nicer cars, and can afford expensive purses and get their hair done every other week…..and they have money for smokes, beer and drugs….AND they go to ‘Food Banks” as well for additional food….and they can always seem to afford Starbucks or equivalent expensive coffee drinks and such. I have never seen a SNAP recipient that was “lean” or “skinny.”… Never seen one with calluses, either, come to think of it.
Not everyone is mooching, but a significant portion of the recipients are….
(and yes, I know that there are people, deserving people, who truly need SNAP and Food Pantries..but they are the minority)
But the representatives of the Pilsen Food Pantry (whose workers posted on their webpage certainly are not representative of the community demographics) were on the CBS Chicago news saying that they expected even MORE people once SNAP goes away…and they will need even more donations to cope….
And “Food is a Human RIght”. she said.
Hah. Bullshit.
Looks like people are gonna have to make some hard choices:…..Food… or booze, Starbucks and fashion. Drugs and smokes plus losing weight. Maybe working to get enough money to eat….
I dunno.
When real Needs were taken care of in the community and not by government the waste, fraud and abuse didn’t happen.
“Not everyone is mooching, but a significant portion of the recipients are….”
Imagine the number is astronomical.
And then multiply it by 1000.
It’s huge.
I know…………………..
Moonbattery had the perfect example of the SNAP recipient you describe. Perfect nails, perfect eyelashes, definitely not lacking for food. She indicated that she would steal what she wanted if her SNAP card was cut off, like her being on SNAP wasn’t theft from taxpayers already.

That is indeed the one. It’s like they want to show how right we are and put it out there for the world to see.
Jeez you MAGA mangos, didja ever think what cutting off food stamps is gonna do to drug dealers and tattoo parlors? How bout those druggy lookin’ zombies who cruise through parking lots selling fists fulla EBT cards? Wutta bout all those hookers who’ll no longer take EBT cards for services rendered? Are you really going to cut off their food?
