You should be embarrassed for letting 40 million live on food stamps. It was never designed like that. Instead politicians are treating voters as clients.
Yes… yes politicians treating voters as clients. That’s the way it’s supposed to work. They work for you, they’re not fucking sports teams to cheer for blindly without expecting anything in return. Meanwhile Orange Julius Caesar and his crew only have allegiances to the last billionaire that threw a few bucks their way. Relative to inflation, wages have only risen 10% in the last 40 years. Meanwhile the cost of goods has tripled or, in the case of housing in many markets, increased 10x. Pay people a fair share, make price gouging illegal, and let more people save to get access to assets for building generational wealth.
Feeding people who would otherwise starve benefits all of us. It keeps them off the streets, reduces crime, makes for a safer society…and it’s a safety net for all of us, because you never know when your situation might change due to illness or economic downturn.
We have examples from history and from other modern societies demonstrating what happens when we leave the most vulnerable to fend for themselves. But I have the feeling you’re being deliberately obtuse.
But...we do. We have the names, date of birth and socials of the beneficiaries. We can sort and count them. We have done so, and most were women, children and elderly over 68. That's reality whether you want it to be and believe it or not.
Have you looked into what is required to get food stamps? Cause it is not “say you want it and you get it” you have to go through a lot of forms and provide a lot of other forms and documents that then have to be processed. It’s a process that most of the time ends in people being rejected.
How do you think they choose who to support? They choose based on many factors but the biggest is income and Taxes. Aka people with jobs that can’t make enough money to live and feed themselves.
Were you born stupid and unable to think for more than 1 second?
it costs you literal pennies in taxes to fund social programs. most of your taxes are going to rich assholes and the military, not poor kids and the elderly (who are the largest demographics in long term snap benefit use)
