[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Food Stamps (SNAP benefits) can’t be paid out if Congress does not appropriate funds for November.

What will happen if 40+ million people don’t get food stamps about 10 days from now?  Total monthly benefits are just under $8 billlion.[/quote]

People will actually pay for their own food? [/quote]

And if they can't? What do you think happens then? There's no reason, in the richest country on earth, we can't guarantee food as a basic right. [/quote]

Not if people are using their own money for lashes, absurd fake finger nails, hair extensions and tattoos, while my tax dollars go to pay for 2 liter Coke and chips versus actual nutrition.

Priorities need to change, even if through force. [/quote]

Why do you think this is what people on snap look like?? 
Half of them are children. The rest are mostly elderly. Most are rural. [/quote]

Psst....

They mean African American

They still believe the tired trope of the Welfare Queen.

[b]Most SNAP are poor whites[/b][/quote]

So then how is it racist to want it cut? Can’t be both[/quote]

The GOP has convinced MAGA that it’s black people who benefit. They’re in for a surprise. [/quote]

I rarely go on Twitter anymore because my feed has become almost entirely MAGA trash propaganda and right wing bots, last night they were peddling a ludicrous claim that almost all SNAP goes to illegal aliens.  I think a bunch of red state poor MAGAs are suddenly going to find out they've been lumped in with illegal aliens.[/quote]

Illegal aliens cannot get snap. It’s a fact. Some food banks will serve them, but not all. 
It is horrifying to read the terrible ideas people have about snap recipients. Again, they are the children, the elderly, the disabled. [/quote]
