Wisconsin GOP Bans Poor People From Buying Shellfish, Potatoes And Ketchup

[doug777]

Contrary to various inaccurate headlines, however, the proposed law (if fully passed and enacted as law) would not "ban" food stamp recipients from purchasing these food items; rather, it would restrict them from spending more than one-third of their SNAP benefits on such foodstuffs. It's also unlikely the bill will be codified as law, as it would require a federal waiver that no state has ever received:
Because food stamp benefits are funded by the federal government, the state would need to obtain a federal waiver in order to impose restrictions on food purchases.

No state has received such a waiver, but Rep. Brooks said he believes his bill is less restrictive than some proposed in other states and has a better chance of being implemented.

In this society, When u have to depend on other folks for the bare necessities of life, then you're in trouble. ...

Btw....on a brighter note...yams are one of the healthiest potatoes out the bunch.


Here in Chicago they have a health food store (vitamins, organic food, protein powders, shit u don't see in regular stores) over in Hyde park that accepts link cards. I sent a lot of elder black folks on ssi to the store...helped them get off the doctor prescribed meds.

people down here in the deep south (louisiana) don't put up with this level of bullshit.

The fact that Jim Crow started in the north is all anyone needs to know about the fuckery that goes on there concerning cacs.

That's what I tell my fellow Marylanders. Y'all fuckers would rather vote Republican than vote a Black man in, now that cretin is saying thanks but fuck your purple line, fuck your education funding, as a matter of fucking fact, fucking every predetermined projects, I'm the head cac in charge. Education funding ALWAYS get cut whenever we have a Republican governor.

Thats dems fault for running a shitty campaign for Brown.Everyone saw O'Mally 2.0 or thought that was what he was gonna bring to the table so they stayed home or voted for Hogan.

Wisconsin is the worst state for blk people. They are targeted as evidenced by the incarceration rate. Plus segregation is high and job opportunities are low. You have to be a kiss ass coon just to get a job at Costco. If you live there, leave immediately.
