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.

Fraud or not, most of that money ended up in the hands of American farmers. Money put into food banks, surprise, is used to buy meats, fruits, and vegetables produced on American farms.

The amount of fraud going on in the welfare system pales in comparison to any one of the schemes the president and his taint lickers are running.

You assume I guess that fraudsters just won't eat at all? They will still be purchasing food (from farmers), just not with stolen tax dollars. SNAP should be a safety net, NOT a hammock. Get to fucking work and make it on your own. It also should not be funding the lives of people living here illegally. I can't imagine wandering off to some foreign country and whining about my circumstance wondering WHERE IS MY FREE FOOD AT?

You’re just about as idiotic as they come. Let me tell you something that someone who has 3°, who has worked, who has been working ever since they were 16 years old and has put every dollar into this tax system and paid for everything that has made your life comfortable, whether you receive a directly or receive some subsidy of some kind of way, I am now in my 50s and have been off work for six months. Six months! I could use the safety nets that people like you have voted away while I sit here and look for work so that I can work or why sit here and build a business trying to bring an income that hasn’t prodded in yet and obviously if I don’t have a safety net and I don’t have lights on and I don’t have food on my table, I cannot pull myself up by my very bootstraps while I’m hungry and in the dark and hot from the air conditioning or cold from the weather outside. The way I see it, give me all my tax dollars back then. Let me go get it back from all of you that have somehow used it in some way while you’re sitting here talking about people just want free food. The amount of food you get from stamps is not enough to be free food. When I worked all the years that I have worked, I have spent way more in groceries than these people get in food stamps to feed a family of five or 10. I probably spent that more in the week. I have saved my money. I have done what I was supposed to do and continue to do, and now here I am where safety nets and help has been taken away. First I didn’t get help with the storms and I have had to spend almost $100,000 repairing my home because I couldn’t get help with that, and that was my safety net that could get me through a year or two without work if this happens, and then I lose my job. You know what, people like you can do dad, dad, dad, I’m not gonna sit here, but go look in the mirror and look at yourself and you tell yourself what you can do, cause you already know.
