America is currently plagued by the hydra-headed evil duo of inflation and recession. The worst part about this recession is that consumers are racking up credit card debt. In April alone, credit card debt went up 20% while rates have doubled in a year. Inflation is so high that consumers are literally taking debt for basic life necessities. Collapse has indeed begun..
Every day we have a new problem. It's the new normal. At first we thought it was a crisis, now we know it's a new normal and we have to adapt. this year will be a year of severe economic pain all over the nation.. what steps can we take to generate more income during quantitative adjustment?I can't afford my hard-earned 180k savings to turn to dust
This is precisely why I like having a portfolio coach guide my day-to-day market decisions: with their extensive knowledge of going long and short at the same time, using risk for its asymmetrical upside and laying it off as a hedge against the inevitable downward turns, their skillset makes it nearly impossible for them to underperform. I've been utilizing a portfolio coach for more than two years, and I've made over $800,000.
Mind if I ask you to recommend this particular coach you using their service?
Credits goes to " vivian jean wilhelm " one of the finest portfolio managers in the field. She's widely recognized; you should take a look at her work.
I just googled her and I'm really impressed with her credentials; I reached out to her since I need all the assistance I can get. I just scheduled a caII.
How many of those food stamp recipients are those illegally here !!!!!!!
About 10,000,000 of them.
Truth
Yes
All of them. You need to prove citizenship to receive any kind of welfare. That means homeless veterans with no SS card get 0 benefits.
Truth !!!!! I know people that have been putting in for jobs but can't get a call back and I also know people that are working 2 and 3 side gigs just to try and make it .but illegals on tiktok bragging about free foodstamps free housing,medical and then those that are complaining that they are owed more!!
Before we talk about cutting Americans off foodstamps. 1st we need to cut off illegal immigrants and foreign welfare payments.
Yes
and Corporate welfare as well
Amen!!
I agree. The illegals are being paid for and yet they talk about running out of social security and food stamp money.

It seems like a solid way to generate extra income, but I wonder how it would affect one's portfolio in the long run.
I've dabbled in covered call trading before. It can be lucrative, but if not planned well, it could lead to significant losses, especially in a volatile market.
Plus, considering the current global economy, it's essential to be cautious. Economic downturns or geopolitical events can greatly impact the effectiveness of this strategy.
The problem is that you don't have the knowledge needed to succeed in a challenging market. Only highly qualified professionals who had to experience the 2008 financial crisis could hope to earn a high salary in these challenging conditions.
Recently, I've been considering the possibility of speaking with consultants. I need guidance because I'm an adult, but I'm not sure if their services would be all that helpful.
Well, there are a few out there who know what they are doing. I tried a few in the past years, but I've been with Desiree Ruth Hoffman for the last five years or so, and her returns have been pretty much amazing. I've made over $500k in profits last year alone.
I am only 5% short of 3 million as of today with Desiree Ruth Hoffman.
It’s not government paying for food stamps it’s taxpayers. We need to stop referring to government as the source of funding when everything is funded by taxpayers.
Even if this program ended, or another one ended, you'd still be paying taxes.
@@joeycurtis1872yeah not the government funding things it we the people, that’s what the guy was referring to there slow one

You can have a full time job and still live below the present poverty level.
Yep these idiots think u can just have a job and all your problems will be solved… but these fcking boomers, they don’t know that todays average job barely pays the average person anything to live for
Absolutely. I worked for 42 years mostly seven twelves. Now I'm sixty five and disabled, and I don't get food stamps. I work cows and hogs , and limp the whole way doing to make money, and get disability, plus I. Retired now . My son a lib thinks I'm a lazy POS. He has so much as told me this. So we do t talk hardly at all. I just my full eyesight back after being legally blind for two years. Couldn't even drive. So I tried to go back to work, and it was the Insurance company that said no. He is not hirable.
Yes. Most times, it's because of where you live. Hawaii. California, and Mass have adjustments in qualifying income because the cost of living is so high.
I got a real college degree job, but somehow I’m living like a minimum wage worker and below poverty line without government aid.
Folks who live below the poverty line have a choice to continue to live there, or move above it. So many can do much more for themselves than they are currently doing. Complacency Disease. Big very careful because it is contagious.
Woman in store could not speak English so her daughter helped her with using her EBT card. Buying ice cream, and all kinds of sweets. Nice phone, gold watch, adorned with very nice jewelry, hair and nails very nice, both her and her daughter very well dressed. On her receipt it gives her food stamp balance after purchase...it was over $3000!!!! I was in shock!! Even more so when they got into a very nice Lexus outside. There definitely needs to be more investigation into people abusing the system.
Wtf 😒
Drug cartel money never reported.
Did she run an in home day care? Or group home? When I worked at Target we would get people like that, but it was through the state because they participated in like the free preschool/ head start/ voucher child care programs. That may be why there were so many sweets.
That is so wrong.

Exactly!
That's the government way! Get as many people on assistance as possible so that they can hire more government workers and then try to lower payments by any means necessary so that they can keep paying those unnecessary government workers. It's a great scheme they got going.
I’m all for helping those who need a hand up. I detest those that abuse the system for a permanent hand out.
The people that live next door from me are getting welfare but they paid for a house $300,000 in cash and came from Iraq. They own a semi truck and work as a contractor that supposed to get 1099 but he doesn't file any taxes. He owns a semi-truck and a Chevy expensive SUV what the celebs use.
the key is temporary assistance not lifelong except in extraordinary circumstances

And we're paying for it while the government keeps raising taxes.
I was under the impression over 50% of food stamp recipients are children
Bankrupt the country and bring in socialism...
You’re not paying for it … the government goes into debt to pay for it. Obviously even worse
25% of the national debt was lost by this administration.
10% this year.
Of course we are. They have to buy their votes.
As a disabled person, food stamps aren't enough to put food in my refrigerator all month. Things are so expensive that it's impossible to keep up. Able body Americans using food stamps is making it harder on those who really need the help because everything is anywhere between 5.00-15.00 more than they were. Our government needs a wake up call because we're suffering out here!
I agree that individuals with disabilities need a great deal of assistance.
But, I can think of two instances where extremely disabled people are/were contributing back to our system.
1) Stephan Hawking; 2) A nearly 60 year old man, who's mental development is 3-4 years old due to a lack of oxygen at birth.
He has a daily job at a local recycle center sorting recycling.
The point is: many people ARE able to contribute to their own well-being. It does not always need to be 100% government assistance!
I am completely understand exactly what you are saying.
Something like 22 million illegal immigrants in this country who cannot legally work some of them may have illegal jobs in some of them may sell drugs and being to crime but that is a huge number of that percentage that is named. They are a protected class protected by the Democratic party because they want to establish a permanent voting majority.
In many states such as Pennsylvania where I live people have to go to an employment program unless they can show good cause for not working such as a medically verified disability.

Yes and with the inflation that has risen food prices they are saying 20% but for the basics it's more like 40%. And most people who are validly on food stamps who don't have nine kids living with them are not buying steaks and not even chicken because the amount you get as a disabled person is not enough. And like I said disabled people on food stamps are living on pretty basic food they are not buying anything expensive. There just isn't enough.
And just how many are illegally getting those benefits, how many are here illegally?
I’m a 100% disabled veteran who can’t get hired for a job and can’t work certain jobs yet I can’t get approved for food stamps how are these people able to get food stamps
It's all based on income. Unfortunately, a person's ability to work is not taken into account.
Call your governor or the attorney general of your state and tell them. Someone will help you even though your probably white 🙄
Or change your last name to Vasquez

I was thinking 75 was your IQ if you believe fox news
Paying illegal immigrants pisses me off ALOT more !!! 😡
I am 100% FOR truely disabled people getting food stamps and Medicare
If you worked for a living you do not qualify for anything as a senior. Very sad people are rewarded for not ever working or paying into Social security.
I been preaching this for years. Once I started SS, I had to (forced to) enroll in Medicare. So, with my policy, I have to pay almost $200 a month for medical coverage and a $240 deductible. Now with that removed from my monthly check, my income is in the same range as someone on Medicaid or Disability. The only difference, they pay $0 for all medical care...
@@rdmez1
I’m on SSDI, which is disability. I pay 20-50% of all my medical with getting Medicare. No, it’s not free. And I had a horrible accident 12 years ago which keeps me from working. I would rather not be in debilitating pain daily, I would rather work.

That’s the way it should be! Democrats have RUINED society with their “give-away” philosophy! It’s become a society of entitled lazy bums milking the system.
How you come into my store, spend well over $100 worth of crap in foodstamps, and still got a balance over $800 and you pull up to fill up a boat, and F250? This is our America. SMH
Maybe because they are handicap?
Are they intending on humiliation of poverty stricken families that can't afford childcare due to the inflation the Reserve caused?
Shame on you poor parents who were harmed by government actions and are now relying on government support for survival. Able bodied doesn't mean without a minor in need of care. It's gotten bad enough for Republican families to be asking for help also.
Who’s surprised???? I’m not. Government should be getting proof of applying for work and insisting on it!!
25% of the national debt was lost by this administration.
10% this year.
The government does require proof from American citizens. You can't collect food stamps unless you are working 80 hours a month, going to school full-time, and if you're not working then you have to show up at the career center 20 hours a week and apply for work or get new job training skills. At any time if you fail to do one of these things you will lose your food stamps for up to 3 years. sadly I think once again they're confusing the American people for the illegal immigrants that are getting all the food stamps, the housing, the jobs, the health insurance, and the money.
In many states such as Pennsylvania where I live people have to go to an employment program unless they can show good cause for not working such as a medically verified disability.

Maybe if we could keep the politicians from stealing from the poor people, they wouldn't need food assistance LOL
Im retired and on SSI.i get a whopping $23 a month in EBT..Thats my reward for working for 52 years!
You're not a single mom with 6 kids.
You'd get a lot more if you were an illegal.... $3000.00 allowance a month plus free healthcare, free phone, housing you name it it's free everything for breaking our laws... Americans in need of help get little to nothing..
@mrabrasive51... EBT was supposed to be with"need" and has nothing to do with how many years any of us have worked.
I've been offered EBT and free internet so many times and just turn them down.
As I tell them, "I need to pay for something".
Those who can live without EBT should and the millions who can (but won't) should just be kicked off.
In closing, if you (general you) are driving a fairly new car, can upgrade your iphone annually, have a full internet/cable package, and can take periodic vacations.
You don't need EBT or help from any food bank.
But people do it anyway as we become a nation with no shame.

Also, so what if she was? That should not automatically entitle her family being fed by the American people. 🤨

Then they get into brand new SUVs. In fl anyway. Unbelievable especially if you work and live week to week.
Then you're mad about the wrong thing. How do you feel about the 100s of billions being sent to Ukraine and Israel?
Food stamps are barely a drop in the ocean compared to how they're screwing us over. Now they want us to concentrate on how to get them to take more away from Americans because let me guess, you think that money is going to go somewhere else that's useful? 😂
Yuppers it's disgusting
I’ve worked my whole life, I’m 67 and retired and I have never taken a government hand out. We need to get these people off welfare and some if it is generational.
Believe me. If you applied you would get nothing.
It is not a handout so much if you work. I worked so I paid into it. As I still do YEARS after.

It's not a government hand out we are the government #1 and its our money not Joe Bidens!!!@
Billions to Ukraine. And Israel but no food stamps for us!!!
My sister ran a couple of apartment complexes and about 20% were on some kind of government aid. The 15% of Section 8 housing caused 95% of the problems. Also, during Christmas and Thanksgiving, the welfare recipients would go to various aid organizations and they were given lots of money in cash, store cards, and lots of free food and toys. When those Section 8's would get behind on the rent, she would with a lot of opposition from the courts, evict those renters that were 4 months behind on the rent. It is a long and torturous process to evict a renter who did not pay rent.
When those scumbags were finally evicted, she would have to have the vacant apartment repaired for thousands of dollars in damages they would do to the apartments.
Yes! I know this first hand. A couple across the street from us ended up renting to section 8 people. A beautiful home….they paid a pittance in rent! When they left, they had absolutely ruined the hard wood floors, somehow wrecked the oven, the door was even off of it! Incredible mess they left!! And yes, they had to get a lawyer to get money for repairs.
And they're usually a noise or weed odor nuisance to other regular hard working tenants...

@therealcnn5346
Why? So, we can afford to put more people on food stamps?
While I agree we send too much to other nations, that has absolutely nothing to do with the subject at hand. How does that fix the problem?
Sometimes we need to. As in protecting Israel, if we want God’s blessing in our land. But not millions to countries who do not need it or who strongly dislike America.

Actually….people who work still qualify for food stamps if their income is low…it’s been this way for years. Even enlisted people in the military qualify for food stamps and many of them are on food stamps because their military pay is low. I don’t know why people still think that the only people who qualify for food stamps are people that don’t work.

Get back to work if you are able and stop living off the taxpayer !! Pissed
Those statistics are BS, I manage a grocery store and unless you actually work in the industry you don't know the half of what's actually going on. First of all, it's much higher than 62%. I would almost bet that more than half our customers that have foodstamps are between 20 and 30 years old. Then you have probably another 35% that are between 30 and 50 years old. The other 15% is 50 and up with a good percentage of them being able bodied for work. Then you have another supplemental food stamp card that mothers get so they can buy healthy food for their children and the amount is based on the amount of children they have. Now here's the part that will really drive you crazy. Probably 95% of these women are under 30 and a good percentage of them come in with children and are pregnant. So not only do we pay for these people to eat, we also pay for these people to get pregnant. These people have the nerve to let themselves get pregnant knowing that they already get everything for free. And if all that isn't bad enough it's Social Security that's going bankrupt and in danger of being gone by 2035, but you never ever hear them say foodstamps and welfare are going broke. So the people that go to work everyday that are paying into something may not get what's owed to them, but these cancers of society who don't work, don't care to work are safe for life. That's out wonderful system.

So stop sending BILLIONS to foreign lands perhaps. Stop allowing military contractors charging $60 000 for a bag of bushings. So many areas to point the finger and yell about however let's focus on welfare. Some take advantage. But it's not everyone. But honestly I do not care about that as much as I see billions we pay into going to other countries. The military being overcharged for every single thing because we decided to allow it to become privatized in so many areas.
@RDCZcams I actually heard waitresses discussing all the benefits of getting pregnant while single. Free food, free housing, energy assistance and even cars and education which if they quit don't have to pay back. This behavior is rewarded.
Sad, but it's true! Many are illegal and drop a baby and get welfare for life. Get another baby, and they secure their benefits and their relatives benefits while taxpayers get swindled!

I worked 40+ while I was on food stamps. I was on it less than a year because I got married and our income wouldn't qualify anyway. I paid into it for years before and after so it is not a hand out. When you work you get considerably less...these people today are dealing with higher food prices also than I did 15 yrs ago. I would not get far at all. The lady was not even sure how I was doing it as it was when I went to apply. I was choosing what bill to pay late that's how. I'm very thankful for the amount I did recieve because I do not know how we would of made it without the help. Human decency definitely one cannot rely on. Just look at the comments here. Is it frustrating when some take advantage...of course. But when I see our people vote for those who send BILLIONS to other countries and see everyone complain about people in line using food stamps NOT KNOWING their situation is disgusting. Humans should be ashamed...but are not willing to look at it through empathetic eyes. I see more griping about welfare for citizens than warfare funds for other countries. Pathetic.
@@cs4201 all that I don’t disagree with. BUT if you can work then you should WORK.
I don’t work my butt off like I do to subsidize someone unwilling to work ! Nor should I !
Ok then the first ones who should be cut off from the freebies are all of the illegal aliens coming into the country and getting on EBT and Medicare time to put Americans first
Yeah and I've been working since I was 13. Raising 3 kids on my own for the last 10. Hurt my back at work in September..literally cannot work. Don't qualify for unemployment or injured workers because I was a contract worker. Doctor appointments and pain management. And I have to jump through hoops just to get 180$ a month of foodstamps. 180 Dollars for 3 people. I also have a disabled child. Why do all people think single parents get thousands a month!!!???? I still struggle to feed my kids. Growing boys. Remember, I've worked for 33 years of my 46 on this planet. There is tons of fraud...but honestly if they (DHHS) would do their job, frauds are easy to spot.
My friends daughter paid for her wedding cake with food stamps. She got it from Walmart. She was a single mother with 5 kids. The marriage only lasted a couple of months.
RIDICULOUS 🙄
There're so many seniors that have to either buy food or pay for their prescriptions because they worked all their lives and don't qualify because they are not destitute
SICKENING
It is sick, but no one promised us a rose garden. We are lead by some of the most wicked people on the planet. And,,, we followed with blind folds on. This is why you were born of independant spirit and freewill too choose. I know,, we are in tight spot.We are Old and wittnessing the collapes of what we hoped and worked hard for better,, un ravel in our twilight years. Thank the stars we don't live as long as the 1st generation.
No taxation through MISREPRESENTATION!
I'm 61 on SS and I get a whopping 23 dollars a month. I question why a disabled person on SS only gets 23 bucks in California, shouldn't American Citizens get the appropriate help, before non-citizens ?..
@@JoeFlation So sorry to see this.. It literally makes me sick how you are being treated when non citizens are so entitled and get EVERYTHING!
Most of their prescriptions they could probably do without anyway.
Some people don't have the time to work. Protesting is a full time job. More food stamps please .
Yeah, they need to put their energy in to getting a job.

@@philsocks3386 We work for them so they don't have to.
No one can make it on foodstamps and the money government would gives us not enough for rent or mortgage. Saying someone has a sitting home and getting foodstamps is highly unlikely! Most likely they are the working poor
Have you ever tried to make it in foodstamps? It’s not enough to buy food for a month. And it’s not other items it takes to live. Like toothpaste- . It’s just food.
I want to work but they pay only 10$ an hour. 400$ a week. . I collect more not working.
Who would have thought. Welfare recipients can work.
Not if they are totally disabled.
No 💩💩💩💩!!
@rprw1041... Everyone receiving EBT is not on Welfare.
@@dcarr-kr7hk EBT is welfare, duh!
They still don’t get the Democrat party invited them here with no PLAN except giving US government freebies
One thing that should be considered is if a person is over 50 years old companies consider you as a liability it’s age discrimination at its finest. Unless you are already working for the company from an earlier age and still there. So food stamps really help those in need. The older generation still wants to work in their 50’s but are overlooked for any potential position. So they hire younger people that don’t want to work. It’s just a mess.
This is Fact.
I’ll tell you the real reason, if you work they say you make too much and cut you off and now you are in the same position financially but more tired working😂.
We have known this for decades. The numbers are now more specific. We need to know, what will the govt do about it?
While seniors go hungry.
I gotts one jar of jellybeans half full, 2/3rds a jar of lard, half rancid, and's a full jar of mentholatum in the medicine closet,, should things get worse. Now where did I put those false teeth,...
We senior's; I'm 68,, were more concerned for our grand children having learned from you Child Protection service's bratt's as parent's. We'll get along fine, the rest of ya,,, get use too it. Concrete getts cold on those street corner's. Enjoy.
Other countries that have a 5 year cutoff mysteriously have citizens that find employment in the 5th year. How strange.
Kinda like unemployment, just happen to find a job just before benefits run out...
Used to be that way in Florida,guess we need to call our Governor
The funny thing is if these people don’t work, they get no taxes taken out which means once they are old how can they retire? Have they even thought of this? This won’t last forever.
They get handouts until they die.
Nope. They don't think long term like that.
Oh come on, if welfare is such a good life, why do so little people choose to do it? It’s 12% of the population. 70% of food stamps recipients work full time.
somethin tells me the amount of fraud in foodstamps doesnt even equal 1/1,000,000 of the money we send to israel or ukraine
Ever been to a national park ? They have signs that say "Do not feed the animals they become dependent on handouts and forget how to feed themselves. " Maybe the same ought to apply to people.

25% of the national debt was lost by this administration.

They're just NOW figuring that out??
Been that way since the 70s...
I tried to get food stamps when I was in college. I was denied because I was a college student. Which makes no sense at all.
They gave my dad and mom 10 bucks a month. He cut the card up and sent it it back in a postage paid envelope.
And yet US citizens are involuntarily supporting the MILLIONS of imigrants here illegally, receiving thousands monthly for housing, food, transportation, childcare, plus general spending cash. To me, THAT'S far worse than our own citizens receiving benefits legitimately.
We cannot do anything about this problem.
Exactly!!!
@@SM-tg5piThat kind of thinking is why things rarely change in our favor. Yes, as one individual, we can't do much on our own. But if people would begin to see that if we stop fighting each other and work together, we can make massive, sweeping changes & bring down this system. This is why they are always stirring the pot through the media & other various outlets, creating division, tension & dissent between us. They don't want people realizing they have more power than they've been brainwashed into believing & uniting against the longstanding corruption.
My 87 year old mother gets $23 a month food stamps. She worked until she was 77. I think she should get more.
How much has she paid in, and how much has she taken out? I think on retirement people should be given every single penny they ever paid in, and that is it.
Part of it is that the food cost is way out of control. People need help.
I bet 80% of the greedy rich are able to give back money they stole from the working class, but don't!!
Cancel 90%of it. NOW!!!!!!!!!
65% of them are IMMIGRANTS
Why??? So they can give it to the illegals??? It's the illegals that's going to bankrupt the system.
Who do you people think you are? I hope you're not claiming to be Christians.
That may cause crime. It isn’t okay to give billions to illegals but take away from our poor. Stop giving it to illegals and it wouldn’t be a problem to our poor. Anybody can work at Walmart part time everybody can’t afford to live and eat right now.
Parenting! Start separating earlier rather than later in efforts to lead children to grow responsibly. Remember! Parent first, then friend. Let them grow up ( it’s their life, debts, & consequences for behaviors)Letting go means gentle release, with love, yet good support.
Sometimes the problem is addiction! Don’t wait till they are 35 or even 25.

Look at any grocery line. People that work few items. EBT filled. DISGUSTING.
The comments on this video really amaze me. You create a system where cut throat capitalists use poor people as slave labor and you wonder why people don’t wanna work. Think of a new system. Capitalism ain’t working.
You people deserve to pay for the people you seek to abuse.
Yep very true. I buy a few things each time while food stamps people have a full cart.
@@Ohiostategenerationx I am a veteran who is on a fixed income and only gets 23 dollars from EBT explain how I can walk out of a grocery store with a full cart of food on only 23 dollars a month stop whining and crying about your situation try living on a fixed income in today's economy is this the thanks I get from a bunch crying little girls try dealing with PTSD
Lady in front of me had crab legs and Ben and Jerrys
@@Ohiostategenerationx what's disgusting is the fact that I am a veteran on a fixed income and only getting 23 dollars a month in food stamps and these illegal aliens who are coming into the country are getting anywhere from 8 to 9 thousand dollars in food stamps while we who are on fixed income and paid into the system get only a small amount from food stamps and illegal aliens are being treated better than us veterans and people on fixed income answer me this question is it fair to us on fixed income and who paid into the system get treated like trash and these illegal aliens are being treated like kings do you in all honesty think that's fair keep in mind someday you to will be on a fixed income and in the same boat we are in now
How's this going to turn out for anyone when these people turn 62. Retirement?
Not well.
Does this ACTUALLY surprise 😲 anyone?
I went to a reasonably priced meat market last summer. I remember walking through and figuring out how to best spend my money. I saw a black woman with gucci bags and 3" nails grabbing everything and throwing it in the cart. She paid with an EBT card. When i walked out with my stuff i noticed she was loading the back of a mercedes g wagon with all her groceries.
The only reason why i file my tax returns is because its a crime not to do so.
Makes my blood boil.
Uncle sam can blow me.
You're very generous to have bought all the for her
well some just know how to work the system. you can own one car no matter how expensive and it does not count against your ability to receive benefits, just go by one of the offices and you will see that most drive very nice cars
You could have just said “a woman” why go out of your way to make sure everyone knows her race? I’ve known a few people who abused welfare. They weren’t black.
@Rainy-daze473 yes but most are you know democrate voters
@@Rainy-daze473 Sorry but the percentage of people on food stamps just happen to be of dark skin. Sad

Welfare went down hill when it became a career!!!!

Gov’t also discourages people who need assistance from working. Working even a little disqualifies them from assistance (single parents trying to work make less than just staying home).
Half my neighbors are on some sort of SSI and don’t work. They can mow the lawn, cut trees drive cars and motorcycles but can’t work. Also they live pretty good.
Yeah and they sell those food stamps
They do in fact do that, they trade them out 3 to 1 for dollars in front of the liquor store in my town , you always know when its food stamp day from the crowd out front of it.
@@mikebryant614how? Foodstamps are downloaded onto a card. If they have cash on it also, they can buy nonfood items as well.
@@kathleeningram3880easily. It's a card. They get cash and the person uses the card for amount agreed on. It's basically a debit card nobody cares who is swiping the card.
I was in line at a store one time, and the woman ahead of me had to call her friend because she didn`t know her Bridge Card pin number. I believe thats fraud? The stores won`t do anything about it because they`re getting their money anyway right?
They do sell them and tbh I don't know most of them are still so fat 😅 We were barely affording food with what we got 😂😂😂
This is what we are focusing on?? Really?? 100% of politicians can work but choose not to.
Most underrated comment!
Able just not willing, rather be lazy and live off the real taxpayers
I remember when Illinois put a cap on public aid, only paying for 4 kids, keep having kids no extra money, then when the 4th one started school that parent (mom) had to either be in job training or working or all benefits were lost 100% then Pritzker got in office and it went away.
If they give away to other country’s why even care .
Of coarse if you keep giving free food where is the incentive to work for it.
This is very unfair for the hard working people!

Food stamps not the problem they are a drop in the bucket compared to the defense department budget, it is way out of control, and much more than necessary to keep us safe.
People working making under 40k a year should automatically get Food Stamps !! They can’t afford food ?
Way more then that. I hear people complain all the time that they have worked to many hours and got their food stamps cut back. Its a goal to stay under an amount of hours. While someone making 40k a year is getting crushed and paying for it. It's crazy and America has lost its mind.
It's because people who work can't get the help when they need it because they make to much money to get help.
Very true
The only time I tried when I truly need help was during Covid. Got denied. I will never again ask my government for a dime. It was such a slap in the face as a tax payer.
In late 1970's the factory I was working at suddenly closed it's doors. Couldn't even empty our lockers. When I tried to apply for just a short term help till I could find another job, they told me to go get pregnant then they could help me! I got nothing 😕
