Trump New Budget Will End Food Stamps Benefits with Canned Goods Instead

I see people all the time at certain grocery stores offering to buy my groceries in exchange for cash (say $100 in groceries for $50 cash).

IN THEORY, this could stop some fraud by just giving people the food (canned veggies, canned fruit, etc.) rather than providing them the opportunity to do things they shouldn't.

In practice, this could turn out really bad. It could result in people getting LESS food. Plus, I highly doubt that Jesus would approve of poor people helping to pay for rich people's tax cuts.

Also, the canned food that they'll be given probably won't be the healthiest food ever.

Gonna cause more crime than anything else. Some people won't take that shit, and will rob before they take a box of food.
 
Welp, it looks like we are going back to the good ole days of blocks of this stuff. Try making a grilled cheese sandwich from this crap.:smh:

Hunger breeds violence

Hunger feeds high levels of violence
A study of hunger strikers showed that, as their strike progressed, they became more impulsive and aggressive. The hypothesis is that malnutrition affects the part of the brain that controls impulsiveness, and therefore makes people more likely to adopt aggressive responses
 
the entire food stamp program usually accounts for anywhere between 2.5 and 3 percent of the us budget

this is a smokescreen issue

70% of the budget year in and year out goes to defense and will continue too

all other programs get to fight over the 30% thats left

when republicans are in office they always attempt to cut taxes to stop paying their fair share and use non-issues like food stamps as camouflage

:cool:
 
No More EBT Card or Cash Benefits. This will be replaced with Canned Goods.

WASHINGTON ― Facing a trillion-dollar deficit because of his just-passed tax cuts, President Donald Trump has an idea for how to get some of that money back: making poor people eat beans and rice.

“Under the proposal,” Monday’s budget document says, “households receiving $90 or more per month in SNAP benefits will receive a portion of their benefits in the form of a USDA Foods package, which would include items such as shelf-stable milk, ready to eat cereals, pasta, peanut butter, beans and canned fruit, vegetables, and meat, poultry or fish.”

Republicans, and even some Democrats, have long complained that poor people allegedly use their food stamps for foods that are unhealthy or too expensive, such as steak, lobster or soda. (The truth is that according to the best available data, food stamp recipients eat basically the same food as everyone else.)

good lawd that is complete and utter bllsh*t
 

I used to think like that until the recession hit 2008/2009 and my car got broken into twice within one month. When people are desperate, you have (often jumpy and criminally inept) people targeting the rest of us who don't live behind gated communities.

Yes, employment is preferred and most want to make money legally (majority are working and still struggling) but I'll gladly pay more taxes to provide help. Social safety nets keep us safe.

Return to back in the days,before my time but I heard about that government cheese,my cousins and uncle swear by it,say it was the best cheese.

The loudest complaints will come from the one's who do the most complaining anyways;white folks....

That wasnt that long ago!! It was sum good ass cheese, you could make sum good grilled cheese with it..
 
I can imagine the sodium. Hey, when will the government get rid of those pesky health labels?

I have a heart condition. When I was diagnosed 3 or so years ago, I was told to avoid salt. Almost everything is loaded. It's only been within the past 12-16 months that there has been a good selection of low sodium staples. Many cropped up just in the past 6 months or so. People with other conditions like liver and kidney issues have to avoid it also.
 
Damn there goes my chicken,steak, shrimp, ribs and Boston butts I be buying from chicks with food stamps! I guess I'll buy them from the meat snatchers now! Trump dont stop shit mofo Freezers gone be full of meat next cookout!
 
What’s the problem ? If you on free lunch at school that dictate what a kid eats. Why not dictate what an adult eats? Don’t like that shit get off your ass. The play is what company gets the contract to provide these foods?

Good ole bgol solutions cause they know an individual who trades food stamps for cash. Hell since u went that route if you as individual get that welfare mother, kid aid and u live in a shitty neighborhood let the gov decide for the family what the child can grow up and become .

Indviduals wouldn't be using the internet now.
 
My mom had a friend who used to give us that cheese because she had too much. That stuff was like crack. It was processed but damn it was good.

You aint kiddin that stuff was good!! Ive never seen cheese that thick or yeah thats cheese is the best for macaroni an cheese!! Let me stop, im starting to crave sum now!!

It's called Velveeta . They still sell in blocks. They contracted with the feds back then. You want to taste that nasty fake trash go buy a 5 dollar block of it at your grocery store.

Noooooo. Velveeta is processed trash. If you are making a dip or adding a touch to mac n cheese to make it creamier it works, but otherwise noooooooooo.

The other stuff you could eat by itself or shred it but grilled cheese was the best. :yes:

LOL at calling Velveeta processed trash when Government cheese was the same processed trash.
 
The white folk ability to be so completed deluded by people (rich white people) who HATE them is almost impressive.

These white folk REALLY don't realize that most of THEM is the ones on these programs?

They HATE us so damn much

they would rather starve themselves?

WOW

What do you mean by heart condition? Is it heart failure, hypertension, or an arrhythmia?
 
Distributing these canned goods is gong to cost WAY more than issuing food stamps will. The supermarket lobbyists will raise hell too.

The food stamp program is not perfect. Sometimes it even gets abused, but it works. Everyone gets fed, industry gets paid, and it costs the public less than $.50/year in taxes. Why fuck with it?

LOL. There are degrees to trash.

Actually American cheese with a high milk content is really good. It's not easy to find one with good flavor tho. I buy the Land O Lakes white American cheese. It makes excellent grilled cheese or grilled honey smoked turkey and cheese sandwiches.

I love American cheese on burgers. In fact no cheese comes close to American cheese on a burger. Its amazing. Other than that I can't eat it. It needs to only be on a burger.

I was diagnosed with HBP and it was doing enough damage to cause congestive heart failure. I didn't have health insurance so I wasn't going to the doctor. That's why I disappeared for about a year a while back. I was feeling horrible for months before, and then I just had more important things to worry about for a bit.
