Are you surprised? They want to decide what you do with your own body in nearly every other aspect. Why would this be any different. If they could, they'd control your thoughts too.
The law states that unless you WORK you do NOT get food stamps. So let's cut the shit. No non-working person gets stamps any longer unless disabled. The laws were already changed under Clinton. This will only affect the working and disabled. Which people like Adam here want to hide, because it sounds more justifiable to cut lazy people than working or sick people. But that IS what is happening here. You are disgusting human beings. End of story.
All that "government" money doesn't belong to the government, the taxes are paid by the people for the people. Those taxes are paid to make the life of americans better. Lets not forget that the people are supposed to own the government, and those politicians are suppose to do what the people want, not what they please.
+Matty Natural Horsemanship Most people who wind up on welfare don't stay on it for long. It's meant to be a stepping stone and historically it's been used that way by most people with a minority of exceptions. But it has come to a point where companies that employ people are forcing them into positions to require welfare to get by for longer than they used to. Walmart, for example, keeps most of their employees part time so as not to have to provide them with certain benefits and relies on welfare to cover the rest. An ungodly number of Walmart employees are also on at least one assistance program as well. Our taxes literally go to allowing Walmart to keep their bottom line fat. And lots of corporations do the same thing. Walmart doesn't even allow employee discounts on food and put their checks on cards rather than handing over the money by check for them to put where they decide. Card systems like that can come with hidden fees just to use them or get their own damn money, like what McDonald's go caught doing. Businesses are abusing the welfare system in the US more than the people. It's like a loophole that just tears itself bigger every year as we subsidies profitable corporations and allow people to stay in poverty no matter how many hours at how many jobs they work. Regulations could fix this, but people are so phobic of even common sense regulations these days it's practically impossible to fix the problem in a rational manner. The entire concept of how our economy should work is getting in the way of fixing these problems so that welfare isn't as necessary because of corrupt corporate tricks.
My niece has been on it for ever now. AND her mom. Both of them. She's my step sister so for years she wasn't a part of the family at all. I just met her within 4 years ago. BOTH my step sister and my niece live in the projects all there lives and been on food stamps all there lives. In fact she said "she can't remember a time when they didn't have it" so its not that short of a period. SURE some are a short period and those are the people I don't mind getting help but the hardest part is the lazy ones who get help and think "shoot. why do I have to work when I got this for free and if I work I lose this''
Matty Natural Horsemanship there are politicians who sell drugs that doesn't mean they all do.when I was in the military at that time I had 10 years active duty and my wife said we qualify for food stamps. I went down to see and you know what. I did however I didn't take it because I didn't believe in handouts but I did have to get a part time job because my military pay didn't cut it plus my wife worked plus I payed for daycare for my daughter's so I understand from another point of view..some people need it and while others may try to take advantage of it so stop pointing fingers
Ensenga 666 yeah and I was a E5 at the time that I mentioned I guess I was lazy as hell huh? Well this is my 36th year now as a federal employee ..im so lazy that I need a job!!!! Such bullshit!!!!
Amazon to the rescue. The only way to make money off the poor, is to get the Government to pay you to help them. Since the poor will always be with us . . .
That's interesting. Mick Mulvaney said that you could buy food at wholesale prices and thus would be cheaper, but try that for healthcare and that's socialism...
TheSheiban Lol you're right! Or allow medicare and medicaid to bargain for drugs to bring prices down which Republicans keep blocking that's socialism. They'll give the contract to donors. Just another way to wring money out of the government from the inside.
Rich people making decisions for the poor. What a joke. A person who owns a yacht or take yacht trips have no clue how hard it is to buy $100 worth of groceries.
Rich ruling over the poor -> wellfare Poor ruling over the rich -> class warfare republican worldview 101... every college should offer that. makes understanding the US so much easier.
christiella823 I'm not a trump supporter here, but how is it the government's job to feed the people? I see plenty of people who can work abusing snap benefits while lots of people do not qualify. but still struggle. I think this will discourage people from mooching and motivate people to work.
senortigre04 most people on food stamps so work. Your punishing everyone for what 10% do. Im 19 and work full time and go to community college. My rent $500 for a one bedroom duplex. If I lost my food stamps I wouldn't be able to eat. If I lost my means of living because everyone wants to focuse on the couple of lazy bums who u abuse the system, than I guess that's okay with you?
While we're discussing the majority of benefit recipients who DO work and STILL need the assistance to help put food on their tables, let's not forget the mass amount of our own military who also need to be on and receive these benefits because our government doesn't pay them enough to provide for their families. (But they'll sure pay to move them around wherever they want them.)
and who would pay for that? although I guess that would add some jobs in the postal Service. And also more jobs might be added to haul away the stuff the families wouldn't or couldn't eat. I afraid Trump would hire Joe Arpaio to make the menus. Green baloney is just what they would need. Oh wait, that's not in the non-perishable group. Is it possible that this is designed to get rid of ancient, much out of date MRE's (Meals Ready to Eat) that the military is stuck with? Yummy!!
Multiscan 0001 - Yeah like McDonald's for one. Because every time his fat ass rolls up into one they all turn their heads disgusted because they don't want to acknowledge him.
+kill star maybe stop letting the politicians you elect steal from the poor to give to the rich and outsource jobs so hermenutic wouldn't need to use food stamps in hard times.
When I was an E6 in the Navy with 2 small kids stationed in Mississippi, We qualified for food stamps. My wife also worked in the Day care where our children stayed or we wouldn't have made ends meet. I was embarrassed to use them. We drank a lot of Kool Aid and spaghetti with toast was the norm. I retired with 24 years as an E8. That's been a long time ago. I don't know how a young military family is making it now.
Paul T. Adam truth be known food stamps mostly and they probably both in a family work but a lot of these people seem to think that everybody that's on food stamps don't work how wrong they are
Let's be clear. NO-ONE receives Snap benefits (food stamps) for being poor. You have to be elderly, disabled or working low income. If you do NOT work, you do NOT get food stamps. Let's clarify that before any fool comes on here and states that lazy non-working individuals receive stamps. The laws were changed already, it doesn't happen anymore. And if you disagree with low income WORKING individuals receiving this, then ask yourself why we pay so many people so poorly. Because if we didn't, stamps would be obsolete. And if you think that they should all just "get better jobs", please use your brain and realize that SOMEONE has to do the "dirty work" and there is A LOT of dirty work to be done in the U.S. Teens and bored housewives can't cover it all. "Better jobs" are far more scarce than "dirty jobs", that's one reason they are considered better. And I agree it's likely not to pass because of Wal-mart, Target, and companies like Pepsi and Frito lay as well, who lobby like hell to keep this program alive. Shit, some restaurant chains even wanted to change the law to make the stamps accepted at places like Pizza hut. This is what many on the right never understand or accept - they can hate this program and those who receive it all day long, but the reason it stays in place is because the wealthy that they worship want it there. Oops! That's all.
"If you do NOT work, you do NOT get food stamps." That is not actually correct. You are entitled to SNAP while unemployed, but you are expected to be looking for work while doing so. But at the same time, they don't expect you to do what you labeled as "Dirty jobs". And I can say that as A) I HAVE received SNAP while unemployed. B) My sister is a social worker in a different county who deals with TANF & SNAP cases.
InuKun2008, when you're on government benefits such as SNAP, you either have to be working a minimum wage job, or doing 20 hrs per week of volunteer work while looking for a minimum wage job. Either way, able-bodied adults have to be working to some capacity in order to receive food stamps. Serenadesong, was absolutely correct.
Haha. At least you have common sense. Those "dirty" jobs are real jobs. Jobs where you do actual work that someone has to do. Someone has to make hamburgers or wait tables or care for the elderly. Not everyone can have Homer Simpsons's job,
It's true. Violent revolution is already arguably justified. If this is passed, it is the same as bombing the poor. Only this time, the rich should be wiped out, not just beaten.
What a dumb idea, factor in changing fuel cost, transportation cost, weather conditions, this idea is more costly. Oh. are they going to build distribution centers, they just look down on poor people.
Did he just say, "Instead of handing over cash"?? I'm on SNAP and it is. not. cash. It's like a gift card but you can't ever get cash from it. Unless you get cash benefits...but that's a totally different thing. What an incredibly misleading, deceptive thing to say.
Mischa Romo that shit would be embarrassing and humiliation at a all time high plus I don't eat canned foods or drink milk I hope they reject this bill trump is an asshole
Yeah, that's another thing. I know what will get eaten in my house better than these morons AND I'm sure what I cook is healthier too. That non-perishable shit barely counts as food! I mean, it'll keep you from dying, so...whatevs. I swear, if they can penny pinch and get it to where everyone in poverty is surviving instead of thriving...they'll do it. In a heartbeat. SMH
Yeah, but, I would risk losing them if I were to do that. It's not worth it for me because I actually need them for food. Even if someone were to sell them...that's scamming the system, still not the government handing over cash.
Ahhh, nonperishable, so punish the poor and/or those who have fallen on hard times, by ensuring that they’re less healthy. I mean, it’s not going to happen, but ffs, the fact that it’s even being talked about is just disturbing. These folks are monsters.
No, no one owes you a thing. If you can't make the right decisions to even take care of yourself, you obviously can't make the right decisions on what food to eat. No one owes these entitled people a thing little guy.
I love how Trump and his Elitists think being poor is a choice. Nobody is thriving on foodstamps. And being poor has NOTHING to do with laziness or race.
TheSpokenWizard if you don't have enough money in a savings account to cover at least a year of expenditures/bills if you're unable to work, you're poor. Everybody in this country has a distorted core belief of what poor is. Most people here in Kansas live paycheck to paycheck. And now we're running out of money to keep the schools open. And forgot it if you don't have a vehicle.
Like Ana said, most people on food stamps have full time jobs, yet can't afford to make end meet. Don't let facts get in the way of your narrative, Broken Wizard.
I know someone who get $900 a month in food stamps, full-ride Medicaid while working under the table for cash and not reporting it and having her children's father pay the rent while not reporting it.
I wonder how long Chef Cheeto lasts as a low wage earner? Its hard work playing golf at Maralago every week. POTUS was born into a low income household wasn't he? Nah, but the silver spoon trustfunders like himself love to speak of how lazy those in the lowest tax bracket are. Those lazy people that are janitorial staff or house cleaners by day then grab a shift at a fast food job at night. Or the security guard that should give up his landscaping side gig with a friend because his herniated discs could be trouble but he can't seek medical assistance because he earns a dollar too much to qualify for Medicaid
Have fun catering to every religion's dietary restrictions (Kosher/Halaal/Ahimsa/etc), medical restrictions (allergies/diabetes/hypertension/etc), and personal restrictions (vegan/vegetarian/etc).
@retired trucker Exactly. don't choose a religion you can't afford, either, i guess. if you can't afford to feed the family you had but couldn't afford to have, you take whatever charity you can get.
ptrinch You know they won't. Options would require money, and they are literally trying to starve us all out to avoid having to contribute to the country that they call home.
DJFM 2010 well 1st of All, it is taking money from the poor and guess Whos gonna reap the benefits 2nd since the majority of people on foodstamps are poor a they are unable to afford a much food without stretching their money they otherwise would spend on basic necessities. Also these are non perishable items that are very unhealthy leading to poorer choices in food which would lead to more people that would develop to people having more health issues. Inflation almost has quadrupled compared to the rate that minimum wage has . the problem is that their are way more people who aren't rich vs. Those who are which means they are the ones being screwed. Under The recession in 2008 jobs were sent overseas that created the middle class to shrink. We haven't had a surplus since 2000.1
Jason Schultz people always vote against their own interest because of their ignorance. Rather it be racism, their party that they remain loyal to regardless of the repercussions, etc. With so much misinformation out there it makes it hard to form their own opinion. So they rather be told what to think.
Shady Jake - You don't get it. Food stamp benefits are already small. Giving someone food they cannot eat and then counting it as part of their 'benefit' just cuts it all the more.
wickednwyld Ok I see where you are coming from. I see this as a great start to a negotiation not between you and I but by the people in power. But to just throw this idea out would be silly. I would like to see more fresh fruits and vegetables possibly locally grown would be cool especially in those "Food Deserts". Also like this program because it hits those corporations in the pocket book and anytime we can hit those bastards in the pocket book is awesome!
advocatus diaboli This isn't a game we play every four years, this could potentially cause extreme and unnecessary problems for families who are on food stamps, anyone with a brain can see that. Any changes made to welfare programs should be better and easier, not worse. This proposal to further control the american tax payer's access to their already earned and taxes welfare also comes directly after the largest corporate tax break in history. You implying that this would be a wise idea means you have little, if any, understanding of how our tax system works. The people who need this system will not find it very wise, because it's going to create major problems for any family with special needs diets or children on disability, etc. because the already small amount they receive is being chipped away for these ridiculous "food boxes".
Non-perishable food items = that can of nasty green beans you donated to the homeless during the company food drive over Christmas, which you weren't going to eat anyway.
Sounds like a great idea. It blows my mind, people obese on welfare buying candy. Acting like it is owed to them. If you want to pick what you eat spend your own money.
They do this to the elderly. The products they give out for free are terrible. Some churches do this already for the disabled and the disabled won't eat it. They donate it back to the church
Big Government is bad, except when it comes to choosing what women can do with their bodies, what substances adults can legally use, or *apparently* what poor people are allowed to eat.
Someone that doesn't realize that food stamps saves them money comes to comment. 1-2 cents in taxes for food stamps during a recession is far cheaper than the medical coverage that would be required if they were abolished. It's an investment. Most people on food stamps are often working poor, if they cannot continue working because they starved to death then they are not earning money and spending money that helps the economy and makes your job possible. You could ofcourse eliminate the problems with food stamps by raising the minimum wage to meet what it should be according to inflation rate increases and working poor wont need them anymore then it is just unemployed, disabled, and retirement. Unemployed could be solved by eligibility time limits unless they are also on unemployment which shouldn't count toward a lifetime limit as it helps them get a new job by allowing them to allocate more funds to travel and grooming costs. But you are "Oh no my penny" and no alternative or realization that the penny is well spent for food stamps rather than a whole quarter more for Medicaid. Surprised conservatives can make money in investments really but they always hate investing a small amount today to save a much larger amount later which shows in our crumbling infrastructure and their general hate for assistance programs. They will never understand "Save a penny today and spend a dollar tomorrow" is a terrible business practice. It's all about that saving the penny and dammed with tomorrow.
No one agonizes more about what groceries they can get to keep their family fed and healthy for the month than someone on food stamps. Making it more difficult on the working poor and their families is a disgustingly see through plan to put more money in the pocket of a few select corporations. The program's "burden" is nothing compared to other subsidies and spending like corporate, military, and wall building. None of the food will be fresh. Canned vegetables and generic cereal aren't healthy options. Taking away choice and disregarding individual dietary needs and restrictions is disgusting coming from the administration whose Commander in Chief eats fast food everyday. Also, it sounds a lot like something they'd use to show how crappy a communist state is...
Anna Karenina well said! Couldn't agree more! As somebody who was on food stamp for 10 yrs, I bought healthy stuff. No soda, no candy, no junk food. Making my own iced tea was cheaper, and buying fresh/frozen easier. Now that I have a decent job, and don't qualify for food stamps, I have to struggle to feed my family and am forced to buy cheaper stuff that isn't as healthy. Its ridiculous.
I make $12hr with 2 kids by myself, no prob. I hated having 2 get on snap I literally was on my last leg wit providing food from check 2 check, the way they treat folks at DSS is horrible!! They dnt care how wht ur bills or budget is they actually looked at me like I was big shit cause I have a job!! Between rent, water, bge, life an renters insurance (necessities), FOOD, clothing, toiletries etc how the HELL am I big BALLIN on $13hr. They gave me $94 for all 3 if us, I said thank you after they needed 2 know everything from who lives/visits/my home, medical historys,... I mean it blew my mind. So believe me folks have 2 TRULY NEED IT 2 go thru all tht for do little..
+Jeremy Open your ears. The benefits remain the same. It's just that half would be actual food. How is this not enough? It would actually be more food than they could buy retail...weren't you listening? The food would be purchased at wholesale prices, meaning you would get more for the dollar. Use your damn brain.
Analog JAC Oh ? So you wanna eat Shelf-stable milk, Juice, grains, cereals, pasta, peanut butter, beans, all that, for ever month ? Is that what you're saying ?
Keep in mind, this will hurt retail stores in a HUGE way. Food Stamps are essentially a credit that you can spend almost anyplace where food is sold. Also, I wonder where they would they would purchase this wholesale food from. Let me guess, someone they have a stake in.
Jorge Ruiz ,"I would have never voted for this maniac if I knew he was gonna declare war on our nations poor. This is his twisted idea of balancing the budget and making america great once again? Ha, this pig has declared open war on the poor thus forcing his unhealthy pig like eating habits on everyone else? Just like Michelle's horrific lunch food program... Meet the new boss same as the old boss....
Dietary constrictions make this near impossible to do. People can be allergic to all sorts of things. My friend is allergic to peaches, I'm allergic to pineapple, another friend can't eat grapes. I have clients that can't eat red meat or diary or pork. There are too many complications. And that isn't even debating whether or not the government should decide what people eat.
My point is that allergies vary widely. Including, common foods. Pineapple juice is in a surprisingly large amount of things. Further, people who have allergies can DIE if they eat them. It is impossible to provide completely allergy free food to everyone (you'd have to have such a degree of customization that it would def be cheaper to just have them shop for themselves). Thus why shopping for yourself is best as you can pick items that don't conflict with your survival. Frankly, I have no problem with my taxes going to support individuals who are poor and need to eat. And I don't think I have the right to tell people what they can and can't eat on food stamps.
advocatus diaboli BS. Gov't exists to take care of its citizens, and the least it can do is keep them from starving without setting off allergic reactions. Especially when corporations are out there not paying people enough to live and the rich are hoarding all the nation's wealth instead of paying their fair share. My gf's mother worked 2 jobs raising her and still had to be on food stamps to get by, so quit it with the elitism.
When my family was in a though spot a while back and we were on food stamps and going to our local food bank they had unmarked cans of meat, we called "mystery meat" because you really couldn't tell what it is. It just tasted like, well, meat to be honest and it was a weird indistinguishable brown color. That's probably the kinda shit they'll be sending if this somehow passes (hopefully it doesn't).
Some canned foods such as meat will remain edible long after the expiration date but acidic foods like tomato products and fruit often will eat through the can and go bad.
NewsFlash! It already IS only supplemental! and what this proposal would do is to cut out even that. The SNAP Program is not negotiable. Trump PROMISED NO CUTS, Period. He will not "get a Mulligan" on this issue. Hell, he has already pissed & shit on the "Mulligan" he was given for his Stormy Daniels affair. There are no more Mulligans to give to him.
Libby, I believe the majority of recipients are the working poor. And the law (PRWORA) Clinton enacted is still enforced. Nice way to show your prejudice though.
icin4d I AM the working POOR!! Less than eight dollars an hour! I don't qualify for help I just bust my ass to pay the taxes that feed people Steak while I eat beans!! Liberal Idiot..
icin4d You liberal idiot everyone doesn't pay taxes some sit on their ass and get free housing, food, and health care, me I own my home and vehicle still don't want to pay for someone to sit on their ass..
The Congress needs try this diet. We need to grow more local foods and we need to call out the real Welfare Queens the Corporate Welfare Queens! Everyday!
The actual maximum SNAP benefit this year is $192 for a single person. Anyone receiving less than that has countable income the government thinks they should be spending on food. I get the full $192 and it gets me to the end of the month though that could be because I cook everything from scratch and live in an agricultural region with a year round growing season.
TheRetiredtrucker In that case, Republicans who want to claim they understand the lower class shouldn't be having lobster tails or steak. But they're clueless so they gobble every bit up. I live in a Republican state. I see everyone but Republicans using their food stamps for vegetables, fruits meat. The lazy white fatass clown show known as Repukes fill their carts with soda, chips, candy.
TheRetiredtrucker If that's the case I better not see another TAX dollar come out of my check. I'm paying for him to live on the golf course but he can't be bothered to feed the poor.
Revolution should be a last resort as it only causes death and destruction. Look to other countries and how they fare after revolution. Perhaps check out Winter on Fire (found on Netflix) to learn what revolution is really like. Unless your OK with military rule I'd reconsider. Cheers!
There's a much better way. Try reading "From Dictatorship to Democracy" by Gene Sharp. Yes, even then a few people may be killed but at least it will be the state that's doing the killing.
Heh then why not just provide the (halfway decent) food people would get from the store anyway? People are too worried about "spoiling" the poor it would seem. Why should I care if someone else gets a free gallon of milk? Should I dwell on that and lose sleep at night because there was a gallon of milk that wasn't earned through hard labor? Sheesh. People should grow up a little
That wouldn’t really solve anything. He’s been a puppet of the Republican establishment for the vast majority of his time in office. It’s not like he’d be replaced by anyone with better policies before 2020 assuming a progressive manages to actually win.
DiabolicalApostle - Yes, that's true. Trump is after all just a moronic pawn, he'll do whatever he's told to do and sign whatever they want him to sign because they'll let him live a lavish lifestyle at taxpayer expense. It'll be almost as if he's a multi-millionaire.
Collin 02456, the census numbers indicate there are 300 million caucasian citizens, the rest 50 million are people of color, so which segment needs to learn to use a condom?
John Blazem Actually statistics state the original poster is correct. Most Republicans don't work because they always cry about how immigrants took their jobs, or that none is available, or they have a 'bad back'. Literally. You cannot state you work if you claim immigrants took your jobs. It's idiotic and contradicts your statements.
John Blazem So who hate facts? I think it's your political party who looks at statistics posted by the government yet calls them false. Grow up. And get a job. Sitting around your house itching your balls isn't a job.
Marie V - A lot of people on food stamps are disabled or elderly with serious medical conditions that require a particular diet, not to mention people with food allergies. Yeah, this is gonna suck for them.
Don't worry buddy you'll never be paying for me...its not just suck for them notion it's more like they will figure out a way not to eat canned meat and that meat will be wasted. Going through with this plan will cause massive amounts of food waste.
TRUMP and every CONGRESSPERSON, Dept. Head, or Administrator SHOULD ALL BE REQUIRED TO EAT FROM THIS BOX FOR ONE TO TWO DAYS......AND THEN VOTE ON IT. I'm sure they will particularly find the "Mystery Mashed Meat" is nothing that they would ever want to eat again. Alpo canned dog food is better.
Most of the "lazy welfare queens" Republicans rant about are military veterans. The majority of food stamps applicants work full time jobs as it's a requirement. Unemployed applicants are only approved in special circumstances like the military veterans. Republican states keep on removing those waivers for military veterans. The number of food stamp applicants went down but the military veterans went starving in the streets instead because nobody would hire them.
A lot of veterans have PTSD this makes it difficult for them to transition back to a normal life and hold a job. But then since they paid such a terrible price to farther the interest America's elites like keeping the petrol dollar the status qua maybe they deserve a free hand out.
Actually having companies like Walmart and grocery chains in the picture is a lot cheaper than paying for transportation,warehouses,and distribution centers for these boxes.
Between the ages of 21 and 22 my mom started to develop early onset alzheimers and it got to a point when she could not work anymore. I had a part time job and I had to look out for her. Food Stamps helped us afford food.
DJFM 2010 Unless they plan on giving fresh kale, paypays, etc to certain people then yes they are taking away. Not everyone wants canned bagged shit. People fight for this country, can't work, and now are forced to eat the "food" they send out in boxes. And I use the term food loosely.
I'm a trump supporter, if he dose this I will be against this Administration. One reason I vote for Republican is cause they claim not to support nanny state. This would be total control of what you eat their not supposed to be parents.
There are people that need genuine help. Especially here in California. There are so many illegal immigrants who drove down the price for movers, and who we have to compete with. A few years back work was slow to this. If the federal government dosnt step up and do there job we will be in the same position.
art loz SIR IT NOT IF,BUT WHEN,THE REAL JESUS(JUSTUS)LOVES THE POOR AND THE SUFFERING,FUNNYHAIR COULD CARE LESS,NEXT TIME THINK LONG AND HARD BEFORE YOU VOTE.(PEACE).
Canada, like western europe, is a democratic socialist country. Essential services are state ran or subsidised, non-essential stuff is free market. It leads to a far fairer society and actual reductions (over the retarded USA system) in the cost of things like healthcare. You Americans should try it one day.
So you believe food production is non-essential since farms are private businesses? As a western European I can assure you that my country is not and never has been socialist.
My foodstamps last about two weeks out of the month... There's only one food pantry in town and we're only allowing to go 3 times a year... On top of that there's no way to afford healthy food... Food seems to go bad quickly... And for homeless people, they're stuck eating gas station food. Which is not only unhealthy, but it's expensive.

Do NOT respond to comments from obvious trolls. The more you respond, the more likely their comments will be pushed to the top of the comment section, which will help: 1. increase the visibility of their comments , 2. create an illusion that what they say here is the pervasive ideas or conventional wisdom of this country , 3. help them spread fear, hatred, hostility, and division in this country , and 4. possibly generate income for Russian bots on TH-cam . Please, let the trolls' and Russian bots' hollow, visceral, and baseless comments, which often come with racial, sexist, and/or incendiary slurs, sink to the bottom, please.
If that's the case I better not see another TAX dollar come out of my check. I'm paying for him to live on the golf course but he can't be bothered to feed the poor. I can't believe people can actually come up with this crap.
I've had to use food stamps because of disability--never once did I buy steak or lobster. Food stamp recipients are constantly accused of loading their carts with the choicest cuts. I was never able to afford that!
They're wanting to cut Medicaid to help pay for the tax cuts just passed. I don't know what's the amount of income that can be made per month to still qualify for that program but just 10 yrs. ago it was $505 a month. That income doesn't go far at all , in fact that wouldn't cover my grocery bill for a month.
Tango Bango they don't get any higher education that is why trump is in office.large portion of Americans don't even know how to be an American I promise you most Americans would fail the citizen test.
Don't be so sure they won't figure out a deal with Walmart, etc. for them to be the middlemen of inventory. They could balance less sales in their retail stores by running very low-overhead box distribution centers. A few strong guys, dim lights, probably no a/c....you know, like Amazon.
People in this country need to wakeup and stop blaming the poor for what's happening in this country! It's easy to look down (the poor) than it is to look up!!! (The rich)
Jak Mert Having internet and a phone is essentially a must have to get a job nowadays. And things like tv's and computers is easy to get second hand. Why does it even matter what they do with their money? It doesn't affect your life
I'm not totally opposed to a Blue Apron-style SNAP box, but only if it includes fresh, nutritious food and the recipients have options on what they want. Also, instead of cutting the spending, spend the same amount. Mulvaney is right that the government could save money by buying in bulk. The government should buy bulk food, allow SNAP recipients to design the box to their needs/wants, and deliver more food at the same cost.
+Analog JAC you do realize our tax money is spent mostly on defense, how is it fair to taxpayers already struggling to buy food that my money can go to a billion dollar complex but not to families struggling to eat..either way not gonna happen cause walmart know they will loose a ton of business just like the other big retailers that accept EBT
Mia Honeyrose its not punishment if they would get food directly. That way everyone gets what they need and cant take advantage. I say this as someone that comes from a family that used food stamps. Canned meat is not the best thing but if they did it blue apron style not the way he described it would be better.
Well they don't really hand out the paper vouchers in the US anymore and instead issue recipients an EBT card. The fraud rate with SNAP is very low now as well only around 1% so there really is nothing that needs to be fixed.
I can't stress enough how much I love tyt, the team is amazing, the delivery is amazing, the catchy titles in the background are amazing. So much common sense and realism, this is how news should be watched and delivered, all that's missing is the weather every 10 minutes (channel 1 humor -N.Y.). Tyt if you ever leave TH-cam I hope it's for a bigger and better spot -well deserved. Shout out to the crew behind the cams, the crew setting up the stage, the people setting up the lighting, to all the people that we don't see that make tyt possible, without you too the show would not function as flawlessly and smoothly as it does.
If your able to work I say you shouldn’t get it. Tired of paying to feed other people’s kids because they’re too lazy to work and don’t know what birth control is.
this makes me so happy. not the first time I heard it. Not fake news. It makes me happy because it it's feeding his base with canned fish. Please let this pass. Please.... It's reality...
Micheal, it will be USDA tuna and not Starkist. If you ever worked for a food distributor that had a USDA contract for distribution you would rethink nothing wrong, and quite tasty idea after seeing multiple full truckloads of the stuff go bad and pop the cans oozing the most vile smelling goo you can imagine while the commercial loads came and went with very few incidents... like one can in one box on one pallet of 64 other boxes with 6 #10 cans in them every tenth truckload. That's allot of cans.
DJFM 2010 Ever heard of variety? Some canned veggies can be organic, non BPA lining, etc. Also, who said people just buy canned and bagged shit at grocery store. I know a fully vegan woman with stamps and still has to budget what she has because food is literally so expensive. Also the water in her town is poisoned due to big plants pouring toxins in her water so she has to buy jugged water for ALL her needs. Theyve literally been dumping huge amounts of toxic waste in the water for 40+ years and it's just now getting exposure and media attention.
Are you dumb? His dad gave him a million bucks for him to start. He even said himself. If that’s working hard, then I feel sorry for the average joes breaking their back to earn their money to feed their families. Stupid trump supporter don’t know what he is talking about.
ITS NOT JUST TRUMP SELLING US DOWN THE RIVER; LOOK AT BEEN [CHEESE EATING, CARSON] HE TRYING TO DO HIS OWN PEOPLE IN. THAT'S WHY TRUMP PLACED HIM AT HUD.
:) MY mother was one of the original Food Stamp social workers. In 1969 they were paper and you had to buy them. Once approved you would go to a cashier's cage and say hand the cashier a ten dollar bill and get say $20 in Food Stamps.
The food given shouldn't be nice . It should just get you by. If you don't like it . Better yourself and get out of your sorts.The system we have now is Keep eating steak when hot dogs would do.
Exactly I love how these welfare stealing, leech asses are complaining, and have a self entitled attitude. They think they deserve to eat better than the slub who pays for their shit.

The party of limited government wants to decide what poor people eat?
Are you surprised? They want to decide what you do with your own body in nearly every other aspect. Why would this be any different. If they could, they'd control your thoughts too.
Moochelle wanted to tell us what our kids could eat.
The law states that unless you WORK you do NOT get food stamps. So let's cut the shit. No non-working person gets stamps any longer unless disabled. The laws were already changed under Clinton. This will only affect the working and disabled. Which people like Adam here want to hide, because it sounds more justifiable to cut lazy people than working or sick people. But that IS what is happening here. You are disgusting human beings. End of story.
Sound like jail
TorqnGears if you grew up around poor people 💡you were poor to.
All that "government" money doesn't belong to the government, the taxes are paid by the people for the people. Those taxes are paid to make the life of americans better. Lets not forget that the people are supposed to own the government, and those politicians are suppose to do what the people want, not what they please.
HOW does making people dependent on government food make anyone better??
+Matty Natural Horsemanship Most people who wind up on welfare don't stay on it for long. It's meant to be a stepping stone and historically it's been used that way by most people with a minority of exceptions. But it has come to a point where companies that employ people are forcing them into positions to require welfare to get by for longer than they used to. Walmart, for example, keeps most of their employees part time so as not to have to provide them with certain benefits and relies on welfare to cover the rest. An ungodly number of Walmart employees are also on at least one assistance program as well.
Our taxes literally go to allowing Walmart to keep their bottom line fat. And lots of corporations do the same thing. Walmart doesn't even allow employee discounts on food and put their checks on cards rather than handing over the money by check for them to put where they decide. Card systems like that can come with hidden fees just to use them or get their own damn money, like what McDonald's go caught doing.
Businesses are abusing the welfare system in the US more than the people. It's like a loophole that just tears itself bigger every year as we subsidies profitable corporations and allow people to stay in poverty no matter how many hours at how many jobs they work.
Regulations could fix this, but people are so phobic of even common sense regulations these days it's practically impossible to fix the problem in a rational manner. The entire concept of how our economy should work is getting in the way of fixing these problems so that welfare isn't as necessary because of corrupt corporate tricks.
My niece has been on it for ever now. AND her mom. Both of them. She's my step sister so for years she wasn't a part of the family at all. I just met her within 4 years ago. BOTH my step sister and my niece live in the projects all there lives and been on food stamps all there lives. In fact she said "she can't remember a time when they didn't have it" so its not that short of a period. SURE some are a short period and those are the people I don't mind getting help but the hardest part is the lazy ones who get help and think "shoot. why do I have to work when I got this for free and if I work I lose this''
Matty Natural Horsemanship there are politicians who sell drugs that doesn't mean they all do.when I was in the military at that time I had 10 years active duty and my wife said we qualify for food stamps. I went down to see and you know what. I did however I didn't take it because I didn't believe in handouts but I did have to get a part time job because my military pay didn't cut it plus my wife worked plus I payed for daycare for my daughter's so I understand from another point of view..some people need it and while others may try to take advantage of it so stop pointing fingers
Ensenga 666 yeah and I was a E5 at the time that I mentioned I guess I was lazy as hell huh? Well this is my 36th year now as a federal employee ..im so lazy that I need a job!!!! Such bullshit!!!!
Can't wait for Trump to say nobody knew food distribution was so complicated.
Amazon to the rescue. The only way to make money off the poor, is to get the Government to pay you to help them. Since the poor will always be with us . . .
😁😄
ikr
Trump can't read. The Koch brothers thought this one up.
My man or maybe My gurly? 😀✔️✔️😀
That's interesting. Mick Mulvaney said that you could buy food at wholesale prices and thus would be cheaper, but try that for healthcare and that's socialism...
TheSheiban Lol you're right! Or allow medicare and medicaid to bargain for drugs to bring prices down which Republicans keep blocking that's socialism. They'll give the contract to donors. Just another way to wring money out of the government from the inside.
This.
Daaamn, props!
Anybody who has ever been to a public school (or county jail) should know that you should never trust government wholesale food.
THEN STARVE
Rich people making decisions for the poor. What a joke. A person who owns a yacht or take yacht trips have no clue how hard it is to buy $100 worth of groceries.
The Diesel If you are poor, it means you can't handle money.
Rich ruling over the poor -> wellfare
Poor ruling over the rich -> class warfare
republican worldview 101... every college should offer that. makes understanding the US so much easier.
Piromyśl If you're rich it means that you know how to steal from the poor and have the politicians on your side. ...
Libs will look any gift horse (or cow) in the mouth.
The Diesel go to school & learn some trade . Your friends the ilegal has your $100.00.🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸.The checks are over
hey you cant just be poor, you have to eat poor as well. Thanks US government, youre making us great again.
That's where you're wrong. Canned meat and fish will make his base strong.
It really sucks 😞 Trump is now making it so people can’t trade EBT for cigarettes and Scratch offs! What ever will they do!?!?
christiella823 I'm not a trump supporter here, but how is it the government's job to feed the people? I see plenty of people who can work abusing snap benefits while lots of people do not qualify. but still struggle. I think this will discourage people from mooching and motivate people to work.
brian rich You never could before moron!
senortigre04 most people on food stamps so work. Your punishing everyone for what 10% do. Im 19 and work full time and go to community college. My rent $500 for a one bedroom duplex. If I lost my food stamps I wouldn't be able to eat. If I lost my means of living because everyone wants to focuse on the couple of lazy bums who u abuse the system, than I guess that's okay with you?
Scrooge is alive and well and living in America, as a Republican congressman, senator and President!!
While we're discussing the majority of benefit recipients who DO work and STILL need the assistance to help put food on their tables, let's not forget the mass amount of our own military who also need to be on and receive these benefits because our government doesn't pay them enough to provide for their families. (But they'll sure pay to move them around wherever they want them.)
Well said sis 👏🏽
Military pay is not that bad, it's not the greatest, but not that bad.
@Ms. Sha - Trump don't care.
Possibly if USA is able to save money from people who don't deserve it then they'll have money for the military
Well, for putting your very existence on the line, i would say military pay is a sin. Ever have your head shot at?
Every politician who inherited as much as a dime should have to live on food stamps and medicaid during their tenure.
Only reason to do shit like this is to buy the foodstuffs (and the shipping contracts) from republican "donors".
and who would pay for that? although I guess that would add some jobs in the postal Service. And also more jobs might be added to haul away the stuff the families wouldn't or couldn't eat. I afraid Trump would hire Joe Arpaio to make the menus. Green baloney is just what they would need. Oh wait, that's not in the non-perishable group. Is it possible that this is designed to get rid of ancient, much out of date MRE's (Meals Ready to Eat) that the military is stuck with? Yummy!!
America needs a Robin Hood!!!
Lol steal from the rich N give to the poor
We already have one his name is Trump he steal from the poor and give to the rich.
Is Robin hood a sniper? If so, then yes we need him.
robin hood? well it looked like his name was Sanders. what a trip!
Redmore Trout I take it you’ve never read the story of robin hood..
Guess which food companies would get the the contract if it passes. For sure those who donated to Trump and other Republicans.
Multiscan 0001 - Yeah like McDonald's for one. Because every time his fat ass rolls up into one they all turn their heads disgusted because they don't want to acknowledge him.
If this law passes it's time to think about becoming immigrants.
hermenutic maybe get a job instead so I don't have to pay taxes to feed you, you pathetic loser.
+kill star maybe stop letting the politicians you elect steal from the poor to give to the rich and outsource jobs so hermenutic wouldn't need to use food stamps in hard times.
Walfart
The government could not even get food to Puerto rico.
There was plenty of food and water sent there. I personally know people that were down there distributing it.
Marcus lewis great thought
That was funny and yes I agree .. I totally get what you are talking about.. these fox trolls really seriously need to wake the f up.
Correction: The government had no desire whatsoever to get food to Puerto Rico.
I have a job and plenty of food in my fridge and freezer. I'm simply stating that the government is not fit to deliver food.
When I was an E6 in the Navy with 2 small kids stationed in Mississippi, We qualified for food stamps. My wife also worked in the Day care where our children stayed or we wouldn't have made ends meet. I was embarrassed to use them. We drank a lot of Kool Aid and spaghetti with toast was the norm. I retired with 24 years as an E8. That's been a long time ago. I don't know how a young military family is making it now.
Paul T. Adam truth be known food stamps mostly and they probably both in a family work but a lot of these people seem to think that everybody that's on food stamps don't work how wrong they are
DJFM 2010 how so your neighbors can see the gaint marked truck ?
Are you saying that beggers should be choosers?
Paul T. Adam People that enlist the contract should include a house, car, daycare and medical so that theres not homeless vets
Michelle R No doubt! People appearing at your door delivering food ain't embarrassing enough! !
Let's be clear. NO-ONE receives Snap benefits (food stamps) for being poor. You have to be elderly, disabled or working low income. If you do NOT work, you do NOT get food stamps. Let's clarify that before any fool comes on here and states that lazy non-working individuals receive stamps. The laws were changed already, it doesn't happen anymore. And if you disagree with low income WORKING individuals receiving this, then ask yourself why we pay so many people so poorly. Because if we didn't, stamps would be obsolete. And if you think that they should all just "get better jobs", please use your brain and realize that SOMEONE has to do the "dirty work" and there is A LOT of dirty work to be done in the U.S. Teens and bored housewives can't cover it all. "Better jobs" are far more scarce than "dirty jobs", that's one reason they are considered better.
And I agree it's likely not to pass because of Wal-mart, Target, and companies like Pepsi and Frito lay as well, who lobby like hell to keep this program alive. Shit, some restaurant chains even wanted to change the law to make the stamps accepted at places like Pizza hut. This is what many on the right never understand or accept - they can hate this program and those who receive it all day long, but the reason it stays in place is because the wealthy that they worship want it there. Oops!
That's all.
"If you do NOT work, you do NOT get food stamps." That is not actually correct. You are entitled to SNAP while unemployed, but you are expected to be looking for work while doing so. But at the same time, they don't expect you to do what you labeled as "Dirty jobs".
And I can say that as A) I HAVE received SNAP while unemployed.
B) My sister is a social worker in a different county who deals with TANF & SNAP cases.
Serenadesong
Ha, yup, agree 100%, well done.
InuKun2008, when you're on government benefits such as SNAP, you either have to be working a minimum wage job, or doing 20 hrs per week of volunteer work while looking for a minimum wage job. Either way, able-bodied adults have to be working to some capacity in order to receive food stamps. Serenadesong, was absolutely correct.
Serenadesong ty
Haha. At least you have common sense. Those "dirty" jobs are real jobs. Jobs where you do actual work that someone has to do. Someone has to make hamburgers or wait tables or care for the elderly. Not everyone can have Homer Simpsons's job,
Oh please pass it..............then it will really be time to start hunting and killing the rich
nikada vise
Bastille Day, where art thou?
nikada vise 🙋🙋🙏🙏🙏🙏
nikada vise -They seem to forget that the Hamptons is not a defensible position...
It's true. Violent revolution is already arguably justified. If this is passed, it is the same as bombing the poor. Only this time, the rich should be wiped out, not just beaten.
WE NEED OUR SHIT! WE NEED OUR WEAVES!!
Why don't we pay "wholesale" prices for prescription medication ?
That's another discussion birdbrain.
Look at the sotu address
Trump said very clearly they will work on getting cost of prescription meds down.
The "gimme dats" are at it again!
What a dumb idea, factor in changing fuel cost, transportation cost, weather conditions, this idea is more costly. Oh. are they going to build distribution centers, they just look down on poor people.
I was wondering what they will do with all the USPS trucks when Trump brings back the pony express.
i would like to know how are they going to transport homeless people a box when they can't
Did he just say, "Instead of handing over cash"?? I'm on SNAP and it is. not. cash. It's like a gift card but you can't ever get cash from it. Unless you get cash benefits...but that's a totally different thing. What an incredibly misleading, deceptive thing to say.
Mischa Romo that shit would be embarrassing and humiliation at a all time high plus I don't eat canned foods or drink milk I hope they reject this bill trump is an asshole
Yeah, that's another thing. I know what will get eaten in my house better than these morons AND I'm sure what I cook is healthier too. That non-perishable shit barely counts as food! I mean, it'll keep you from dying, so...whatevs. I swear, if they can penny pinch and get it to where everyone in poverty is surviving instead of thriving...they'll do it. In a heartbeat. SMH
Yeah, but, I would risk losing them if I were to do that. It's not worth it for me because I actually need them for food. Even if someone were to sell them...that's scamming the system, still not the government handing over cash.
That's funny, most of the people that I knew that lived on them had disabilities or worked at Wal-Mart.
Mischa Romo Our SNAP program is doubled at our local farmers market. Gov. wouldn't think of such a great idea.
Ahhh, nonperishable, so punish the poor and/or those who have fallen on hard times, by ensuring that they’re less healthy. I mean, it’s not going to happen, but ffs, the fact that it’s even being talked about is just disturbing. These folks are monsters.
Agreed. It's like they stepped out of a Dickens novel.
Nikola Demitri stop whining noodle arm. Too much soy in your diet.
No, no one owes you a thing. If you can't make the right decisions to even take care of yourself, you obviously can't make the right decisions on what food to eat. No one owes these entitled people a thing little guy.
Yes because all the crap they buy with their EBT cards is ofcourse super healthy.
Yup, trump’s always looked down on the poor, now his sheep are doing the same. There’s no humanity in this administration.
I love how Trump and his Elitists think being poor is a choice. Nobody is thriving on foodstamps. And being poor has NOTHING to do with laziness or race.
FN- 2187 nothing to do with race but laziness is debatable. Broke and poor are two different things.
TheSpokenWizard if you don't have enough money in a savings account to cover at least a year of expenditures/bills if you're unable to work, you're poor. Everybody in this country has a distorted core belief of what poor is. Most people here in Kansas live paycheck to paycheck. And now we're running out of money to keep the schools open. And forgot it if you don't have a vehicle.
Like Ana said, most people on food stamps have full time jobs, yet can't afford to make end meet. Don't let facts get in the way of your narrative, Broken Wizard.
I know someone who get $900 a month in food stamps, full-ride Medicaid while working under the table for cash and not reporting it and having her children's father pay the rent while not reporting it.
I wonder how long Chef Cheeto lasts as a low wage earner? Its hard work playing golf at Maralago every week. POTUS was born into a low income household wasn't he? Nah, but the silver spoon trustfunders like himself love to speak of how lazy those in the lowest tax bracket are. Those lazy people that are janitorial staff or house cleaners by day then grab a shift at a fast food job at night. Or the security guard that should give up his landscaping side gig with a friend because his herniated discs could be trouble but he can't seek medical assistance because he earns a dollar too much to qualify for Medicaid
Have fun catering to every religion's dietary restrictions (Kosher/Halaal/Ahimsa/etc), medical restrictions (allergies/diabetes/hypertension/etc), and personal restrictions (vegan/vegetarian/etc).
TheRetiredtrucker they aren’t beggars and they do choose what food they want with the stamps...
They don't care about the people getting the food.
Equality means that everyone gets the same. If you can't or refuse to eat certain foods then give those foods to someone who will eat them.
@retired trucker Exactly. don't choose a religion you can't afford, either, i guess. if you can't afford to feed the family you had but couldn't afford to have, you take whatever charity you can get.
ptrinch You know they won't. Options would require money, and they are literally trying to starve us all out to avoid having to contribute to the country that they call home.
Does anybody realize that this idea was TRIED ALREADY AND FAILED BEFORE?!?!?!!!!
I remember those days. I ate a lot of the gov cheese, but I can't eat it now. Too much salt and fat
Shh... can’t be bringing up facts now. We are in the post-truth era now.
Is this why people voted for trump? Take from the poor to give to the rich.
DJFM 2010 well 1st of All, it is taking money from the poor and guess Whos gonna reap the benefits 2nd since the majority of people on foodstamps are poor a they are unable to afford a much food without stretching their money they otherwise would spend on basic necessities. Also these are non perishable items that are very unhealthy leading to poorer choices in food which would lead to more people that would develop to people having more health issues. Inflation almost has quadrupled compared to the rate that minimum wage has . the problem is that their are way more people who aren't rich vs. Those who are which means they are the ones being screwed. Under The recession in 2008 jobs were sent overseas that created the middle class to shrink. We haven't had a surplus since 2000.1
Jason Schultz people always vote against their own interest because of their ignorance. Rather it be racism, their party that they remain loyal to regardless of the repercussions, etc. With so much misinformation out there it makes it hard to form their own opinion. So they rather be told what to think.
They are not cutting the evil middle man, they are just changing one evil middle man for another.
Jason Schultz yea this is sick
Trump is a murderer
How do they handle things like food allergies?
Ronin Garrison -They won't, and the boxes contain peanut butter.
Ronin Garrison it cant especially if its setup where everyone gets the same crap in every box.
From what I understand (could be wrong) that they would still receive some food stamps with the food boxes to cover allergies and what not.
Shady Jake - You don't get it. Food stamp benefits are already small. Giving someone food they cannot eat and then counting it as part of their 'benefit' just cuts it all the more.
wickednwyld Ok I see where you are coming from. I see this as a great start to a negotiation not between you and I but by the people in power. But to just throw this idea out would be silly. I would like to see more fresh fruits and vegetables possibly locally grown would be cool especially in those "Food Deserts". Also like this program because it hits those corporations in the pocket book and anytime we can hit those bastards in the pocket book is awesome!
Wonder how Trump's supporters feel about this 🤔
🤔 hhmm
They will cry like a bitch and still vote republican
A lot of them would be ON this bullshit plan. They just dont realize that part,
They have become fanatical with their support for Trump
advocatus diaboli
This isn't a game we play every four years, this could potentially cause extreme and unnecessary problems for families who are on food stamps, anyone with a brain can see that. Any changes made to welfare programs should be better and easier, not worse. This proposal to further control the american tax payer's access to their already earned and taxes welfare also comes directly after the largest corporate tax break in history.
You implying that this would be a wise idea means you have little, if any, understanding of how our tax system works. The people who need this system will not find it very wise, because it's going to create major problems for any family with special needs diets or children on disability, etc. because the already small amount they receive is being chipped away for these ridiculous "food boxes".
Non-perishable food items = that can of nasty green beans you donated to the homeless during the company food drive over Christmas, which you weren't going to eat anyway.
The Progressive Atheist it's all coming back to us lol
Sounds like a great idea. It blows my mind, people obese on welfare buying candy. Acting like it is owed to them. If you want to pick what you eat spend your own money.
Newsflash idiot, unhealthy food is UNHEALTHY. Be it candy or canned meat. They'll STILL be fat on Trump's box o' shit.
Serenadesong nope, like usual, you are wrong.
Anthony Garcia dude you assume way too much about people in food poverty.
What next? Would the poor be mailed rags to wear instead of being allowed to pick out their own clothes?
How insulting.
They do this to the elderly. The products they give out for free are terrible. Some churches do this already for the disabled and the disabled won't eat it. They donate it back to the church
Big Government is bad, except when it comes to choosing what women can do with their bodies, what substances adults can legally use, or *apparently* what poor people are allowed to eat.
when did the government try the loot box game?
I would rather get an Overwatch lootbox and get nothing I want than a USDA food box and I don't even play Overwatch.
JETWTF then yoy would be spending your own money, not others
Someone that doesn't realize that food stamps saves them money comes to comment. 1-2 cents in taxes for food stamps during a recession is far cheaper than the medical coverage that would be required if they were abolished. It's an investment. Most people on food stamps are often working poor, if they cannot continue working because they starved to death then they are not earning money and spending money that helps the economy and makes your job possible. You could ofcourse eliminate the problems with food stamps by raising the minimum wage to meet what it should be according to inflation rate increases and working poor wont need them anymore then it is just unemployed, disabled, and retirement. Unemployed could be solved by eligibility time limits unless they are also on unemployment which shouldn't count toward a lifetime limit as it helps them get a new job by allowing them to allocate more funds to travel and grooming costs.
But you are "Oh no my penny" and no alternative or realization that the penny is well spent for food stamps rather than a whole quarter more for Medicaid. Surprised conservatives can make money in investments really but they always hate investing a small amount today to save a much larger amount later which shows in our crumbling infrastructure and their general hate for assistance programs. They will never understand "Save a penny today and spend a dollar tomorrow" is a terrible business practice. It's all about that saving the penny and dammed with tomorrow.
Because they wanted the middle and lower classes to have a sense of pride and accomplishment.
Most of the time you get can food, bread and soda with a small chance of getting a proper meal and water
Trump doesn't know what the hell he's doing. His actions have dangerous consequences. 😑
Terry Turner I totally agree he is gonna start a riot and a war in America
He's a sadistic, psychopathic, narcissistic, sociopath who gets off on inflicting pain on others. So yeah. He knows exactly what he's doing.
He thinks all Americans eat the same crap food he does.
No one agonizes more about what groceries they can get to keep their family fed and healthy for the month than someone on food stamps. Making it more difficult on the working poor and their families is a disgustingly see through plan to put more money in the pocket of a few select corporations. The program's "burden" is nothing compared to other subsidies and spending like corporate, military, and wall building. None of the food will be fresh. Canned vegetables and generic cereal aren't healthy options. Taking away choice and disregarding individual dietary needs and restrictions is disgusting coming from the administration whose Commander in Chief eats fast food everyday. Also, it sounds a lot like something they'd use to show how crappy a communist state is...
Anna Karenina well said! Couldn't agree more! As somebody who was on food stamp for 10 yrs, I bought healthy stuff. No soda, no candy, no junk food. Making my own iced tea was cheaper, and buying fresh/frozen easier. Now that I have a decent job, and don't qualify for food stamps, I have to struggle to feed my family and am forced to buy cheaper stuff that isn't as healthy. Its ridiculous.
I make $12hr with 2 kids by myself, no prob. I hated having 2 get on snap I literally was on my last leg wit providing food from check 2 check, the way they treat folks at DSS is horrible!! They dnt care how wht ur bills or budget is they actually looked at me like I was big shit cause I have a job!! Between rent, water, bge, life an renters insurance (necessities), FOOD, clothing, toiletries etc how the HELL am I big BALLIN on $13hr. They gave me $94 for all 3 if us, I said thank you after they needed 2 know everything from who lives/visits/my home, medical historys,... I mean it blew my mind. So believe me folks have 2 TRULY NEED IT 2 go thru all tht for do little..
I totally understand it's always a fight dealing with this system we recieve pennies while our taxes go back to the rich shame on these ppl!!
So what, one box of food a month to replace food stamps? That's not enough. People's lives are at stake Trump.
Don't knock it. His base will get canned meat.
"people"
+Jeremy Open your ears. The benefits remain the same. It's just that half would be actual food. How is this not enough? It would actually be more food than they could buy retail...weren't you listening? The food would be purchased at wholesale prices, meaning you would get more for the dollar. Use your damn brain.
Jeremy Cheng He doesn't care..he care about trying to get as much money as he can.
Analog JAC Oh ? So you wanna eat Shelf-stable milk, Juice, grains, cereals, pasta, peanut butter, beans, all that, for ever month ? Is that what you're saying ?
Keep in mind, this will hurt retail stores in a HUGE way. Food Stamps are essentially a credit that you can spend almost anyplace where food is sold.
Also, I wonder where they would they would purchase this wholesale food from. Let me guess, someone they have a stake in.
This is a disaster!
Jorge Ruiz ,"I would have never voted for this maniac if I knew he was gonna declare war on our nations poor. This is his twisted idea of balancing the budget and making america great once again? Ha, this pig has declared open war on the poor thus forcing his unhealthy pig like eating habits on everyone else? Just like Michelle's horrific lunch food program...
Meet the new boss same as the old boss....
Ah yes, give the poor even less options on what they can afford to eat.
Yup, no more booze and cigs.
Let’s bring back the 70 and 80’s back free block of cheese, powder milk. What a joke this administration. Oh lord lol
EVEN THAT IS TOO MUCH... GET A JOB
Dietary constrictions make this near impossible to do. People can be allergic to all sorts of things. My friend is allergic to peaches, I'm allergic to pineapple, another friend can't eat grapes. I have clients that can't eat red meat or diary or pork. There are too many complications. And that isn't even debating whether or not the government should decide what people eat.
My point is that allergies vary widely. Including, common foods. Pineapple juice is in a surprisingly large amount of things. Further, people who have allergies can DIE if they eat them. It is impossible to provide completely allergy free food to everyone (you'd have to have such a degree of customization that it would def be cheaper to just have them shop for themselves). Thus why shopping for yourself is best as you can pick items that don't conflict with your survival. Frankly, I have no problem with my taxes going to support individuals who are poor and need to eat. And I don't think I have the right to tell people what they can and can't eat on food stamps.
You are so naive and I hope you lose your job someday or fall so sick that you cannot work, then maybe you will understand reality!
Don’t put what you’re allergic to in your mouth, simpletons.
advocatus diaboli BS. Gov't exists to take care of its citizens, and the least it can do is keep them from starving without setting off allergic reactions. Especially when corporations are out there not paying people enough to live and the rich are hoarding all the nation's wealth instead of paying their fair share. My gf's mother worked 2 jobs raising her and still had to be on food stamps to get by, so quit it with the elitism.
Jae Lynn I agree ,it's easy to make judgement calls when it's the other person it happens to.
When my family was in a though spot a while back and we were on food stamps and going to our local food bank they had unmarked cans of meat, we called "mystery meat" because you really couldn't tell what it is. It just tasted like, well, meat to be honest and it was a weird indistinguishable brown color. That's probably the kinda shit they'll be sending if this somehow passes (hopefully it doesn't).
Sounds like animal food tbh
Some canned foods such as meat will remain edible long after the expiration date but acidic foods like tomato products and fruit often will eat through the can and go bad.
I thank G-d I was able to get it, but I went to the food pantry and they gave out cans of macerated pudding-like chicken and pork.
Just the millions of meals that never made it too Puerto Rico... Bad idea... $90 worth of food might last a week if your living off Top Ramen...
You mean the island that suffered a hurricane, was flooded, and 90 percent of roads were unusable?
NewsFlash! It already IS only supplemental! and what this proposal would do is to cut out even that. The SNAP Program is not negotiable. Trump PROMISED NO CUTS, Period. He will not "get a Mulligan" on this issue. Hell, he has already pissed & shit on the "Mulligan" he was given for his Stormy Daniels affair. There are no more Mulligans to give to him.
Yeah, I'm allergic to wheat and a diabetic and a vegetarian. Yeah, that's going to go really well.
Amy get a job.
Libby, I believe the majority of recipients are the working poor. And the law (PRWORA) Clinton enacted is still enforced. Nice way to show your prejudice though.
icin4d I AM the working POOR!! Less than eight dollars an hour! I don't qualify for help I just bust my ass to pay the taxes that feed people Steak while I eat beans!! Liberal Idiot..
Sucks to be you. Everybody pays taxes and you have no clue as to the OP's position. So here's a dose of your own medicine. Get a better job.
icin4d You liberal idiot everyone doesn't pay taxes some sit on their ass and get free housing, food, and health care, me I own my home and vehicle still don't want to pay for someone to sit on their ass..
The Congress needs try this diet. We need to grow more local foods and we need to call out the real Welfare Queens the Corporate Welfare Queens! Everyday!
$90 a month?!? My wife and I have no children and we spend more than that in a week.
TuurdBurglars of DaCorptocracy BaconGreaseSlushFund Extremely ignorant but funny at the same time. 😆
TuurdBurglars of DaCorptocracy BaconGreaseSlushFund I know you're probably kidding, but my wife and I are both within our normal weight range.
The actual maximum SNAP benefit this year is $192 for a single person. Anyone receiving less than that has countable income the government thinks they should be spending on food. I get the full $192 and it gets me to the end of the month though that could be because I cook everything from scratch and live in an agricultural region with a year round growing season.
Strings410 $90 is the base amount for a single person. .Which I couldn't imagine anyone living off of! !
mjaynes288 WOW!!
It's terrible what Trump is trying to do, he should be forced to see how it would be to live on a food box for a few months n see how it feels.
Larry Duhgs buying your own food solves the food box problem.
TheSpokenWizard - Yeah, all those elderly, disabled and young children should just get a job!
TheRetiredtrucker. My concern the food in the box will be no different than when you can buy junk food via SNAP
TheRetiredtrucker In that case, Republicans who want to claim they understand the lower class shouldn't be having lobster tails or steak. But they're clueless so they gobble every bit up.
I live in a Republican state. I see everyone but Republicans using their food stamps for vegetables, fruits meat. The lazy white fatass clown show known as Repukes fill their carts with soda, chips, candy.
TheRetiredtrucker If that's the case I better not see another TAX dollar come out of my check. I'm paying for him to live on the golf course but he can't be bothered to feed the poor.
Time for REVOLUTION
Revolution should be a last resort as it only causes death and destruction. Look to other countries and how they fare after revolution. Perhaps check out Winter on Fire (found on Netflix) to learn what revolution is really like. Unless your OK with military rule I'd reconsider.
Cheers!
Yea...In your home country...Take your sedition back to your own country, ya piece of shit.
Rico Sartiz Evolution not Revolution.
There's a much better way. Try reading "From Dictatorship to Democracy" by Gene Sharp. Yes, even then a few people may be killed but at least it will be the state that's doing the killing.
Heh then why not just provide the (halfway decent) food people would get from the store anyway? People are too worried about "spoiling" the poor it would seem. Why should I care if someone else gets a free gallon of milk? Should I dwell on that and lose sleep at night because there was a gallon of milk that wasn't earned through hard labor? Sheesh. People should grow up a little

Trump needs to be replaced
Student Loans Are Cool him..pence and the rest of their ilk.
That wouldn’t really solve anything. He’s been a puppet of the Republican establishment for the vast majority of his time in office. It’s not like he’d be replaced by anyone with better policies before 2020 assuming a progressive manages to actually win.
DiabolicalApostle - Yes, that's true. Trump is after all just a moronic pawn, he'll do whatever he's told to do and sign whatever they want him to sign because they'll let him live a lavish lifestyle at taxpayer expense. It'll be almost as if he's a multi-millionaire.
Collin 02456, the census numbers indicate there are 300 million caucasian citizens, the rest 50 million are people of color, so which segment needs to learn to use a condom?
replaced with a food box
Many trumpists do recieve food stamps😂
kpop lover exactly
kpop lover But when they go out in public, they can pretend they don't need it.
John Blazem Actually statistics state the original poster is correct. Most Republicans don't work because they always cry about how immigrants took their jobs, or that none is available, or they have a 'bad back'. Literally. You cannot state you work if you claim immigrants took your jobs. It's idiotic and contradicts your statements.
John Blazem So who hate facts? I think it's your political party who looks at statistics posted by the government yet calls them false. Grow up. And get a job. Sitting around your house itching your balls isn't a job.
Horrible idea... They never think what if they got this food... I would never eat canned meat... Ever
Marie V - A lot of people on food stamps are disabled or elderly with serious medical conditions that require a particular diet, not to mention people with food allergies. Yeah, this is gonna suck for them.
+Ricky Bobby "Just grab a job from the job tree, guise, it's easy, and use your experience points to level up your skill. ez"
Don't worry buddy you'll never be paying for me...its not just suck for them notion it's more like they will figure out a way not to eat canned meat and that meat will be wasted. Going through with this plan will cause massive amounts of food waste.
Will Trump give this to Baron?
Floyd Johnson Ensure. If you’re going to throw out slurs like that, make sure you know what you’re talking about first.
Excellent question, I'm going to say hell no!! Baron doesn't know what a box looks like.😦
I think Baron would throw it against the wall and demand that the maid or butler who brought him it be fired.
No trump is not a leech like u
TRUMP and every CONGRESSPERSON, Dept. Head, or Administrator SHOULD ALL BE REQUIRED TO EAT FROM THIS BOX FOR ONE TO TWO DAYS......AND THEN VOTE ON IT.
I'm sure they will particularly find the "Mystery Mashed Meat" is nothing that they would ever want to eat again. Alpo canned dog food is better.
Most of the "lazy welfare queens" Republicans rant about are military veterans. The majority of food stamps applicants work full time jobs as it's a requirement. Unemployed applicants are only approved in special circumstances like the military veterans. Republican states keep on removing those waivers for military veterans. The number of food stamp applicants went down but the military veterans went starving in the streets instead because nobody would hire them.
A lot of veterans have PTSD this makes it difficult for them to transition back to a normal life and hold a job.
But then since they paid such a terrible price to farther the interest America's elites like keeping the petrol dollar the status qua maybe they deserve a free hand out.
not true, you have to at least be actively looking for work.
Give to the rich, take from the poor sounds reasonable 🤔
Actually having companies like Walmart and grocery chains in the picture is a lot cheaper than paying for transportation,warehouses,and distribution centers for these boxes.
sponge ganngg Absolutely right.
Between the ages of 21 and 22 my mom started to develop early onset alzheimers and it got to a point when she could not work anymore. I had a part time job and I had to look out for her. Food Stamps helped us afford food.
DJFM 2010 Unless they plan on giving fresh kale, paypays, etc to certain people then yes they are taking away. Not everyone wants canned bagged shit. People fight for this country, can't work, and now are forced to eat the "food" they send out in boxes. And I use the term food loosely.
Bye bye republicans your done
nah white people are racist and will always vote republikkkan.
they don't care, those whites vote for white supremacy over their own personal interests.
Sc j I'm like not even vote for the dumbass
Sc j and you say white people are prejudiced shame on you
I'm a trump supporter, if he dose this I will be against this Administration. One reason I vote for Republican is cause they claim not to support nanny state. This would be total control of what you eat their not supposed to be parents.
You're in control of what you eat. They are in control of what they give you for free. Don't want it? Don't take it and go do something about it!
There are people that need genuine help. Especially here in California. There are so many illegal immigrants who drove down the price for movers, and who we have to compete with. A few years back work was slow to this. If the federal government dosnt step up and do there job we will be in the same position.
your an asshole supporter. to the pits hell with you and the rest of these nazis

You, should look to Canada. We're socialist, and it's always worked for us. Stop being so terrified of living life evenly, and try Socialism.
Uh no you're not. You probably don't even know what Socialism means.
Oh please tell me more about your glorious socialist nation that has a capitalist free market economy.
Canada, like western europe, is a democratic socialist country. Essential services are state ran or subsidised, non-essential stuff is free market. It leads to a far fairer society and actual reductions (over the retarded USA system) in the cost of things like healthcare. You Americans should try it one day.
So you believe food production is non-essential since farms are private businesses? As a western European I can assure you that my country is not and never has been socialist.
I'm about ready to go claim medical asylum in Canada b/c the US doesn't care.
You lost me at shelf stable milk

Damn I don’t take food stamps but what about millions who can’t work
OR TOO LAZY TO WORK AND CLAIM THEY CANT WORK
My foodstamps last about two weeks out of the month... There's only one food pantry in town and we're only allowing to go 3 times a year... On top of that there's no way to afford healthy food... Food seems to go bad quickly... And for homeless people, they're stuck eating gas station food. Which is not only unhealthy, but it's expensive.
Mick Mulvaniy is a human weasel.
crime rates will rise,,
You're right. People are going to feed themselves and their kids by any means necessary.

Do NOT respond to comments from obvious trolls. The more you respond, the more likely their comments will be pushed to the top of the comment section, which will help:
1. increase the visibility of their comments ,
2. create an illusion that what they say here is the pervasive ideas or conventional wisdom of this country ,
3. help them spread fear, hatred, hostility, and division in this country , and
4. possibly generate income for Russian bots on TH-cam .

If that's the case I better not see another TAX dollar come out of my check. I'm paying for him to live on the golf course but he can't be bothered to feed the poor. I can't believe people can actually come up with this crap.
I've had to use food stamps because of disability--never once did I buy steak or lobster. Food stamp recipients are constantly accused of loading their carts with the choicest cuts. I was never able to afford that!
They need to raise taxes on the rich by 1000% and no cuts to any programs problem solved
Tony Tam if you have a lot of money its easy to move away.
wow so if you're poor get paid once a month like me better not have any food allergies..or be diabetic
They're wanting to cut Medicaid to help pay for the tax cuts just passed. I don't know what's the amount of income that can be made per month to still qualify for that program but just 10 yrs. ago it was $505 a month. That income doesn't go far at all , in fact that wouldn't cover my grocery bill for a month.
What did Trump say in his campaign? I won't touch Medicare and Medicaid I won't touch Social security. Just another lie on top of his many many lies
Government deciding what poor people eats. That's sounds like USSR.
Beggars can’t be choosers. As a taxpayer I like this idea
Wait .. WHAT? I was only comparing it to USSR. Where did i said anything about entitlement? That's what YOU make out of it!

Tango Bango they don't get any higher education that is why trump is in office.large portion of Americans don't even know how to be an American I promise you most Americans would fail the citizen test.
Don't be so sure they won't figure out a deal with Walmart, etc. for them to be the middlemen of inventory. They could balance less sales in their retail stores by running very low-overhead box distribution centers. A few strong guys, dim lights, probably no a/c....you know, like Amazon.
*People in prison get fed better! this is getting sick!*

Why do people who get food stamp have cell phones, big screen TVs, internet, tablets and computers but no money to buy food?
Jak Mert Having internet and a phone is essentially a must have to get a job nowadays. And things like tv's and computers is easy to get second hand.
Why does it even matter what they do with their money? It doesn't affect your life
People on foodstamps shouldn't receive the best in food IF THEY aren't paying for it.
I'm not totally opposed to a Blue Apron-style SNAP box, but only if it includes fresh, nutritious food and the recipients have options on what they want. Also, instead of cutting the spending, spend the same amount. Mulvaney is right that the government could save money by buying in bulk. The government should buy bulk food, allow SNAP recipients to design the box to their needs/wants, and deliver more food at the same cost.
The logistics of that would be an epic nightmare. It's beyond ridiculous.
If there was genuine interest in saving money by buying in bulk they would do so with pharmaceuticals from Canada as just one example.
BigfootTornado that would also be a great idea.
+Analog JAC you do realize our tax money is spent mostly on defense, how is it fair to taxpayers already struggling to buy food that my money can go to a billion dollar complex but not to families struggling to eat..either way not gonna happen cause walmart know they will loose a ton of business just like the other big retailers that accept EBT
It would stop people from selling their food stamps
Sure, punish the majority of food stamp recipients for what a few recipients do. That makes perfect sense. Can you sense my sarcasm?
Mia Honeyrose its not punishment if they would get food directly. That way everyone gets what they need and cant take advantage. I say this as someone that comes from a family that used food stamps. Canned meat is not the best thing but if they did it blue apron style not the way he described it would be better.
Mending Wall you know American is number one in the chart for been fat or unhealthy... so, those food Trump replace are the worst and unhealthy.
Mending Wall you know there a lot military family are in food stamps??
Mending Wall you know that when people have food stamps, they can only buy food with the card, they can't buy anything other than food.
I'm from Canada we don't have food stamps....seems so humiliating. What a great way to dehumanize someone
manddray I had to screen shoot this amazing!
Well they don't really hand out the paper vouchers in the US anymore and instead issue recipients an EBT card.
The fraud rate with SNAP is very low now as well only around 1% so there really is nothing that needs to be fixed.
Yeah. Canada gives you lump sum and you can use it to buy food {or not but they did their part}

FlipperWI Z give them cans. Funny thing, they will probably be okay with it
Micheal, it will be USDA tuna and not Starkist. If you ever worked for a food distributor that had a USDA contract for distribution you would rethink nothing wrong, and quite tasty idea after seeing multiple full truckloads of the stuff go bad and pop the cans oozing the most vile smelling goo you can imagine while the commercial loads came and went with very few incidents... like one can in one box on one pallet of 64 other boxes with 6 #10 cans in them every tenth truckload. That's allot of cans.
canned food and lots of packaging is great for the environment
Frank Stake an u know dang well he's definitely not concerned about THAT!!!
DJFM 2010 Ever heard of variety? Some canned veggies can be organic, non BPA lining, etc. Also, who said people just buy canned and bagged shit at grocery store. I know a fully vegan woman with stamps and still has to budget what she has because food is literally so expensive. Also the water in her town is poisoned due to big plants pouring toxins in her water so she has to buy jugged water for ALL her needs. Theyve literally been dumping huge amounts of toxic waste in the water for 40+ years and it's just now getting exposure and media attention.
Of course

ITS NOT JUST TRUMP SELLING US DOWN THE RIVER; LOOK AT BEEN [CHEESE EATING, CARSON] HE TRYING TO DO HIS OWN PEOPLE IN. THAT'S WHY TRUMP PLACED HIM AT HUD.
And I guess if you aren't home and UPS leaves your "food" on the front porch and it gets stolen, oh well.
:) MY mother was one of the original Food Stamp social workers. In 1969 they were paper and you had to buy them. Once approved you would go to a cashier's cage and say hand the cashier a ten dollar bill and get say $20 in Food Stamps.
I would love 90 dollars of groceries every month for free. That would be awesome!!!!
now imagine ONLY $90 for groceries for the entire month - "for free!"
tell me how awesome that works out.

I grew up on commodities, canned veggies, boxed cheese and beans. It was way better than going hungry. I was grateful for what I got.
It may work for those who don't have food allergies or diseases like diabetes.
The food given shouldn't be nice . It should just get you by. If you don't like it . Better yourself and get out of your sorts.The system we have now is Keep eating steak when hot dogs would do.
Exactly I love how these welfare stealing, leech asses are complaining, and have a self entitled attitude. They think they deserve to eat better than the slub who pays for their shit.
If you can't afford steaks it's time for you to get a better job. I'm on SSDI can afford steaks. I eat the same things as people on food stamps
-Trumps idea is actually equal to him throwing rolls of paper towels at the Puerto Ricans after the storm there, as if that will make things better.
