Iowa Republicans want to ban SNAP recipients from buying meat, white bread,

T. A. Gardner said:
Food stamps, right now pays an average of $210 a month in round figures. If you were to match that, that works out to about $14 a day in food. That's about $3 for breakfast and lunch and $8 for dinner. You can vary that some. You can make good meals for that amount for two people. With dependents, the amount given goes up so that remains valid.

It is because recipients are mostly stupid idiots and / or drug addled morons that they can't get enough food on food stamps. Thus, we need a program to force those on drugs to stop and everyone in the program to attend--on a continuing basis--classes to learn (have it pounded into their think skulls and pea brains?) how to budget their money and feed themselves.

If they can't manage that, then fuck 'em.

Homeless families comprise roughly 34% of the total U.S. homeless population.

Picking a site that advocates for homeless people was a bad choice.

Family Homelessness

There were 171,575 people in families with children who experienced homelessness on a single night in 2020, essentially the same as in 2019. Nine in ten people experiencing homelessness in families with children were sheltered, 154,908 people. Ten percent of people in families with children, 16,667 people, were found in unsheltered locations.
https://www.hud.gov/press/press_releases_media_advisories/hud_no_21_041

Experiencing homelessness for a single night or a few days is not being "homeless." The 16,667 people who were unsheltered represent those that are truly homeless. That is, people who are not experiencing homelessness for a short period of time between having a home. That represents about 3% of homeless people.

Of course, most, if not all, statistics on homeless people are suspect to begin with. The government and researchers rely almost entirely on self-reporting to gather their data. Thus, veterans are always overrepresented as homeless because the researchers take the word of the homeless person without verification. When a homeless guy tells me he was a veteran, it usually goes like this...


The second you start questioning about their "service" their story comes apart like a $2 suit in the rain.
 
Food stamps give 7 bucks and change per day. Some states even less. That is no way to thrive and giving up half for beer and cigarettes does not compute. You get all the bulk you can out of the stamps. You do not have the luxury of a balanced diet and meat is out of reach. But if they take a Trumpy to market, I am sure they will learn the right way to live.

It's usually single young men will sell their stamps and eat at food kitchens.

Iowa Republicans proposed a bill that would drastically limit what foods SNAP recipients can buy.
People wouldn't be able to buy grocery staples like white bread, American cheese, fresh meat, and more.
Critics argue the bill would further burden low-income people who are already food-insecure.
Iowa Republicans are proposing sweeping changes to the state's food assistance program — including banning beneficiaries from buying grocery staples like meat, American cheese, or flour.


SNAP recipients wouldn't be able to buy a variety of foods, including white grain bread, buns with added nuts or seeds, white rice, pasta sauce, canned fruits or soups, baked beans, cheese slices, butter, or flour.

all the bill does is require that the government verify and audit data on use of SNAP and other assistance programs....

IN the bill you posted here is the key section apparently:

"This division requires HHS to request a waiver from the United States department of agriculture, food and nutrition service, to provide that the eligible foods under the state administration of SNAP only include those items defined as supplemental foods in the most current Iowa special supplemental nutrition program for women, infants, and children (WIC) approved food list"

The article mentions that WIC is considered a SUPPLEMENT to SNAP and as such the food choices are far more restricted since it isn't intended to be the same as SNAP.

Hope that helps. Now you see they weren't actually lying necessarily. You just didn't read the bill closely enough.

Well, Food Stamps as actual physical things you can sell stopped existing about 25 years ago. Clinton had the states phase them out. If someone sells you a SNAP card, they can just turn around and report it stolen... Defeating the whole purpose of selling the card.

The main real SNAP fraud that still happens is in rural religious communities, think break away Mormons. They are required by their religion to give their SNAP cards to the religion, which runs a grocery store. They do get food out of the deal, but at inflated prices. And in general, they are lying about not having a father in the picture, it is just that the father has several wives.

These groups would rarely drink beer or smoke cigarettes. There would be no soup kitchen for these people to eat at.

I used to give financial advice to poor people in Philadelphia for a charity. I really have been over just about every poor urban financial budget you can think of. It was an experience.

The weirdest thing I saw was a man complaining that the free food he was trying to give to the homeless was being stolen by men in suits. I actually took a day off work to see this, but an old man would make sandwiches to hand out to the homeless, but a bunch of men in suits would line up for the free sandwiches. It was the first time I had ever seen a Patek Grand Complication, a watch worth about a million dollars. A billionaire investment fund manager, and his very rich employees would line up to get free food.

I am not allowed to say his name, because I do not want to be sued, but it was 1997, Philadelphia, and he ran an investment fund... Some of you might be able to figure out who it was.

Oh, Did you find you a new word to replace the NIGGER word?

Every time we see you use the WOKE word- all we see is NIGGER because you always try to make the black man out to be something as bad as you can.

Do you actually think using the word Woke instead of Nigger makes you any less a hopeless disgusting racist?

You are truly a piece of shit!

So why don't you Shut the fuck up already YOU WHITE NIGGER trailer park trash- probably now living on welfare and food stamps yourself.
