The Trump Administration Will Move Ahead With Its Plan To Kick People Off Of Food Stamps Despite The Coronavirus Outbreak
- Thread starter FF Seraphim
- Start date
- COVID
Ignoring the humanitarian side of this for a moment, it's also just bad economic policy. It's pretty well known that "food stamps" are one of the government expenditures that is most effective in stimulating the economy. SNAP actually helps expand the economy by more than it costs.
And some Bernie supporters think Biden is worse than this? What the hell is wrong with you all? Don't hold on to that vote. Get this administration out or it will get worse.
Yup, but we can't have those poors getting things for free, even if it means they don't starve and everyone benefits.
Fucking asinine and inhumane.
Rrrrragh that stupid piece of fucking ass limp dick sunvabitch of a president I hope the fucker gets the virus dies!
What a disgusting group of shitstains.
They're legitimately supervillains if the kind our Saturday morning cartoons warned us about. And the most troubling part is that we put them in power with our apathy and "I got mine, fuck you," mentality, and treating political parties like sports teams where it's about "winning and losing," and not about the welfare of every single person that calls this country home.
Obviously I'm using the royal "we," and not specifically talking about us. I feel like that shouldn't be said, but Americans voted these dipshits into power, and unless people start taking accountability for their shit decisions, nothing will change.
We warned them this type of shit was going to happen, but they "it won't happen to me and mine" convinced themselves because hurting brown and black people had them salivating. Now here we are.
It's infuriating and I'm personally tired of having to constantly "I told you so," idiots when shit once again hits the fan.

This is good to hear. The Dems cannot just bend to the GOP's will.
This is before Hannity, Limbaugh, and Tucker Carlson rail against it tomorrow and cause Trump to dump it in the trash.
His base (many of which I'm sure are on food stamps) still won't give a single fuck. As long as "the Blacks and them Mexicans" don't get it, they're happy.
they'll die to curse those who have moved into their old house
it's like some weird political version of Poltergeist
I dont understand where the democratic party has a fuking pulse blast this shit on the news everyday every minute every second take all the airways wtih this shit. They are so incompetent it hurts
I fully expect riots and looting at some point. Then I guess we'll see how much having a ton of money really does for rich people.
civility and unity in a time like this or something like that
This is sooooo unbelievably fucked up. Just imagine you're actually in the government. Why would you ever waste a second of your time on this "do you think we should reduce the ability for the least well off to get food?" NO, bin the bill and move on. Utterly ridiculous
When I used to get SNAP, as a freelancer, I would always hand-write or type – 'Letting go of personal items including: furniture, vinyl, electronics, clothing, etc. from personal estate on Craigslist to make ends meet.'
Did that for years.
They will let the lack of paperwork and documentation slide due to Craigslist not having any receipts. Well, if they're smart anyway. If not then you spell it out for them.
$$$-wise and eligibility-wise, I completely fit their criteria so I had no qualms about doing it this way.
Anyway, give that a shot.
I might have to figure out a way around this 20hr work criteria now. We all work 20hrs a week in some way, shape, or form.
Edit* just want to add... this criteria is bullshit. If people need help, it shouldn't be this complicated and ass-backwards.
Yep. I no longer have any sympathy for people who after 4 years of this bullshit still consider themselves Republican and vote for the GOP. There truly are no more excuses that suffice. Not economic anxiety or being fiscally conservative. Nothing will justify putting people who perform actions like this into power over American citizens. The GOP no longer qualifies as a political party and rather should be considered an enemy of the American people sanctioned to abuse and kill citizens under the guise of simple political legislation. We as citizens are in a slow war with a cruel and vindictive enemy seeking to destroy us and should act as such.

More importantly despicable in light of the unprecedented economic recession we're about to experience. Just unreal.
basically. if it's one thing the democrats are great at it's coddling Republican fuck ups under Democrats false sense of decorum and civility.
The South is bizarro land. The GOP dominates, they have terrible public services, and they also get a lot of federal funding from the richer and bluer states, yet they brag about their rugged individualism.
We still need to see if Pelosi and the dems will be dumb enough to grant the GOP their sick anti-abortion clause
Aren't the GOP trying to slide abortion funding restrictions into this too?
That's what I heard but I wouldn't budge if I were Democrats. A crisis like this plus a tanking stock market in an election year? The ball is in the Democratic Party's court.
Well, I was thinking Trump will try to pull all this off after his second term but he's going for broke right now before he even gets voted in.
Yeah you can't sit out on this years voting you have to get rid of him regardless if Biden is not your favorite. Once he's out then you can fight for the progressive laws. This guy is a monster.

The most evil part is they know many are disabled.

Extremely sad and it hurts so many valuable people. When my family came to the US my mom had to work three jobs and get food stamps to even make ends meet. I remember how nights we had to go with almost nothing despite all the work she put in. Just thinking about it makes me want to cry. Taking this safety net away is just beyond the pale.
They are going to hold hostage these programs to use as leverage, so they can pass tax cuts under a Biden administration.
