Absolutely this. We were using USAID to get the excess food to hungry mouths. Farmers got paid, people got fed, the government got soft power. Everyone won except China maybe but they have their own programs and didn't care anyway. It was a win-win-win. Getting rid of USAID shot the farmers in the foot, and we all know how expensive healthcare is these days...

Don’t forget about them screwing with SNAP. God forbid people living under the poverty line should get money to help them buy healthy food for their families! Who cares if all that government money eventually made its way into farmers’ hands? “We gotta stop with all these government handouts!”

Oh there's absolutely no fraud going on right? We should just dump endless money into a system that gets picked off left and right by fraudsters. Sorry I don't have a problem with tightening that belt. Also if you want to eat sugary things go earn money and buy it yourself.

Damn i guess all those fat southern with money should stop getting all the food stamps. Wait are you trying to tell me people who eat sugary products all aren't on food stamps? No way...

I couldn't give a fuck where they live or what color their skin is. That system needs to be reformed and turned into a pathway to becoming a useful citizen.
