You are not "owed".

I believe his primary commandment was to love.

Not making people who are perfectly capable of independence, dependent on others is love. Tough love, but love nonetheless.

It's a safety net. Most people are on it temporarily. This idea that the program is full of people who do not need it is not based in reality. Making people in need out to be lazy moochers isn't love, tough or otherwise.

Not really. Many, many are on it for years. They are a lot of exemptions that pretty much make it possible for anyone to be on it for years. If you have children under 14 (and keep having children) or take care of anyone, you could be on it for years. You can get waivers if you meet the 20 hr per week work requirement and stay on it for years as well.

Call your senators. Tell them to nuke the filibuster and then make the laws even stricter. No more soda or candy or junk. No more waivers. Stricter work requirements for people with kids. It can be done with 51 votes.

You don’t even have to actually work 20 hrs. It’s 20 hrs OR the hours equivalent to total the monetary amount of 20 hrs at minimum wage. But even then, there are a lot of waivers people can get to not have any work requirement at all. It isn’t difficult at all to get these waivers.

Most people on food stamps actually work. Those who don't usually have disabled kids, are disabled themselves or are veterans. The question we should be asking is why minimum wage is still $7.25 an hour.

Because democrats allowed a huge surplus of low wage workers to happen

Stop the overwhelming immigration and wages will rise

But the elites want more low wage workers to reduce wages to stop inflation

There was a study that found over 13% of Walmart employees in Ohio were on food stamps. In addition to Walmart, there are also other big employers like fast food chains, Dollar Tree and others that pay a lot of their employees minimum wage and that has absolutely nothing to do with "flooded with illegals" - it has everything to do with corporate greed, bad business models that depend on exploiting workers and so on.

If we got rid of every illegal alien there would still be companies refusing to pay a living wage.

DP.

You need to take your analysis one step further.

Why do companies refuse to pay a living wage? Because if they do, foreign or domestic competitors will undercut their prices and they’ll go out of business.

Most consumers are incredibly price-sensitive; all else being equal, not many will pay higher price to support higher wages.

People on the lower end of the economic spectrum saw their wages grow at the highest rate in decades during the Biden administration. And that’s after accounting for inflation.

Simply not true.

What is your statement based on? Because there is plenty of independent evidence that it is.

The thought process motivating these braindead MAGA morons is no more sophisticated than Trump = good, Democrat = bad.

Like every other inconvenient fact on this thread, they’ll just ignore it.

Simply not true.

Another topic that MAGA Morons have to be schooled on. Yes it is:

Under the Biden administration, low-income workers experienced historically fast real (inflation-adjusted) wage growth.

Between 2019 and 2024, the real hourly wage for workers at the 10th percentile of the wage distribution grew by approximately 15.3%. This growth rate was exceptional and significantly faster than in any other business cycle peak since 1979.

Key details of low-income wage growth:

Faster than other income brackets: The pace of wage growth declined for each successive wage group, meaning low-wage workers saw faster percentage gains than middle- and high-wage workers.

Outpaced inflation: Even with historically high inflation during this period (about 21.3% between 2019 and 2024), low-end wages grew substantially faster than prices.

Significant break from the past: This trend reversed a decades-long pattern where wages for lower-income workers stagnated or grew slowly.

Factors contributing to growth: A tight labor market, increased job switching, and state-level minimum wage increases were key drivers of this accelerated wage growth. The Biden administration also implemented a $15 minimum wage for federal contractors, which put pressure on other employers to raise wages.

Demographic impact: The fast wage growth disproportionately benefited Black men, young workers, and working mothers, helping to narrow long-standing wage gaps.

Despite these historic gains, the absolute wage levels remain a concern, with reports noting that even with the growth, wages are often still insufficient for workers to meet a basic family budget.

Those children deserve to be fed in this country.

They didn't choose their parents

And their parents often chose to spend money on various non essential things. If they had to be responsible for buying food, they would

Republicans have changed the rules. No more moochers if you have kids age 14 and up. No more mooching from refugees, from recent foster youth, homeless or veterans.

Only 34% of SNAP recipients have children. Nobody should be mooching. Get a job!

They’re retirees or disabled

The low wages come from the business owners who are mostly republicans. The immigration has nothing to do with the wages. Those immigrants are taking jobs no one else wants, as evidenced by the fall harvest that was left to rot because there was no one there to pick it. (no, not talking about soybeans)

If you have children under 14 (and keep having children) or take care of anyone, you could be on it for years. You can get waivers if you meet the 20 hr per week work requirement and stay on it for years as well.

Call your senators. Tell them to nuke the filibuster and then make the laws even stricter. No more soda or candy or junk. No more waivers. Stricter work requirements for people with kids. It can be done with 51 votes.

You don’t even have to actually work 20 hrs. It’s 20 hrs OR the hours equivalent to total the monetary amount of 20 hrs at minimum wage. But even then, there are a lot of waivers people can get to not have any work requirement at all. It isn’t difficult at all to get these waivers.

Most people on food stamps actually work. Those who don't usually have disabled kids, are disabled themselves or are veterans. The question we should be asking is why minimum wage is still $7.25 an hour.

Because democrats allowed a huge surplus of low wage workers to happen

Stop the overwhelming immigration and wages will rise

But the elites want more low wage workers to reduce wages to stop inflation

Not making people who are perfectly capable of independence, dependent on others is love. Tough love, but love nonetheless.

It's a safety net. Most people are on it temporarily. This idea that the program is full of people who do not need it is not based in reality. Making people in need out to be lazy moochers isn't love, tough or otherwise.

Not really. Many, many are on it for years. They are a lot of exemptions that pretty much make it possible for anyone to be on it for years.

Those children deserve to be fed in this country.

They didn't choose their parents

And their parents often chose to spend money on various non essential things. If they had to be responsible for buying food, they would

Can we apply this to billionaires seeking tax loopholes and huge corporations taking government subsidies? Can we apply this to farmers?

I mean, if we could apply this to everyone getting money from the government this will get interesting very fast.

Drug tests for all senior management in corporations receiving subsidies. No use of private jets, costly dinners, etc reimbursed by the company.
