Why do republicans want to block SNAP? It legitimately just seems like a pure evil thing to me…. Are they even getting any political support for this?

You are not entitled to someone else’s labor for free, that is slavery. I understand needing a pick me up for people but when you get people who have been on it for 7-8 years is when it gets absurd. I was just reading an article that talked about how over %62 of all SNAP recipients have been on it for over five years

You don’t want me to point out the truth? Sounds like it’s not a very sound position to hold if that makes you mad.

Yall say that every time he does stuff like this. He wants to get rid of it entirely. If he wanted to fix that system he would have aimed for reforming it instead of eliminating it

It’s not free though, it’s societally funded, and I think it’s a sign of a healthy society to take care of those in need, actually.

Your argument seems to be built on foundational beliefs in the effectiveness of capitalism and the ability of modern-day Americans to climb the social ladder, so while I could try to give insight into that, I don’t feel like writing five paragraphs. Instead, because of the insane equivalence you made between social assistance programs and slavery, I’m going to be an asshole and just say INTERESTING HOW YOU SUDDENLY CARE ABOUT SLAVERY NOW, AND NOT WHEN IT’S LITERALLY BEING USED IN OUR PRISONS

You do know prisoners are paid for their labor it may be something like $.60 an hour but they are not being forced to do it, on top of that the first ~$1k that they make in prison is saved For when the prisoner gets out so that they can get back on their feet. It may not be a lot of money, but they’re not being forced to do it

So tell me this, when people stop working because they have all of their needs already met what’s going to happen?

It’s literally below minimum wage, and you seem to misunderstand that social programs far from meet all needs. They just keep people afloat.

No I’m not, they are an example of why communism/socialism won’t work though. Our gov can’t agree on something (like it normally can’t) and now 42 million people lost access to food (even if they were abusing the system)
