Trump rolls back on food stamps, fucking over his voter base
-
2019-12-07 at 12:11 AM UTCEssentially there was a 3 month grace period when you applied where you just automatically got them. There had to be 10% unemployment in your area. After that you would have to show you are working, if you're an able bodied adult. This was good for people who lost their jobs and were struggling to make ends meet.
This is 34% of Texans on food stamps
20% of people on food stamps in Wisconsin
Both voted for Trump in 2016 lmao

If food does not qualify for the 'general welfare' guarantee, as listed in the constitution, I don't know what the fuck does.We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the General Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution…
The Congress shall have power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common defence and general Welfare of the United States
And from the Supreme Court,Congress may spend money in aid of the "general welfare." Constitution, Art. I, section 8; United States v. Butler, 297 U.S. 1, 65; Steward Machine Co. v. Davis, supra. There have been great statesmen in our history who have stood for other views. We will not resurrect the contest. It is now settled by decision. United States v. Butler, supra. The conception of the spending power advocated by Hamilton and strongly reinforced by Story has prevailed […] Nor is the concept of the general welfare static. Needs that were narrow or parochial a century ago may be interwoven in our day with the well-being of the Nation. What is critical or urgent changes with the times. [1]
The purge of nation-wide calamity that began in 1929 has taught us many lessons. Not the least is the solidarity of interests that may once have seemed to be divided. Unemployment spreads from State to State […] But the ill is all one [2] , or at least not greatly different, whether men are thrown out of work because there is no longer work to do or because the disabilities of age make them incapable of doing it. Rescue becomes necessary [3] irrespective of the cause. The hope behind this statute is to save men and women from the rigors of the poor house as well as from the haunting fear that such a lot awaits them when journey's end is near. [4]
Congress did not improvise a judgment when it found that the award of old age benefits would be conducive to the general welfare
Providing general welfare for the people is required whenthat is now feasible on a general level, a national level (already done, we even have the facility to increase, maybe almost infinitely) [1] ;
that is critical and urgent with the times of today (food is literally a matter of life and death) [1] ;
an Ill that we all suffer as one (malnutrition of our community members can lead to health complications, failures in focus for education, begging, turning towards crime, etc) [2] ;
where rescue becomes necessary (non-food, no life) [3]
and when addressed as that intent to save men and women from the rigors of the poor house as well as from the haunting fear that such a lot awaits them [4]

2019-12-07 at 1:20 AM UTCyou are insane!!
the majority of those on welfare are hispanic and african american. no doubt there are whites on it, but in general, whites get screwed on these kind of benefits by typically not being accepted to have them to start with.
so if anything, the majority of those losing welfare are most definitely you insane demoncrats :) -

Yeah only problem is Trump supporters have jobs and no need for food stamps.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -
2019-12-07 at 1:24 AM UTCI'm cool with this. My food stamps got cut off when I made more than 900 a month. Apparently that's ballin in LA. But the kind of ghetto fuckery I heard in line at DPSS (i.e. How to scam temporary disability and get more food stam money) made me wish everything got cut off. Christmas came early.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire!

2019-12-07 at 1:46 AM UTCmy father, was involved in an on work accident that left him unable to work for a fews years when we were young children. fortunately, a lot of vocational and trade schools were forming and he was able to get a grant to enroll. even though he qualified for a grant and full ride scholarship, he still did not qualify for food stamps having 3 children and home not paid for and no food and work.
and the thing i remember most about those times were we drove a broken down station wagon and prayed for gas money. and the blacks were driving in with cadilacs and nice shiny rims and as we were being turned down for government peanut butter and food stamps, them mofo's were using shopping carts to fill the backs of their cadilacs up with free food.
so, pardon me here, for not shedding a tear thinking about all of those soon lazy bastards gonna starve to death finally!! -

I mean there's a lot of Trump supporters who use government programs, but from my personal experience the people who actually need it are few and far between. Those 3 years I could've probably easily worked, but it was better for me to sell drugs and get $200 for groceries and medi-cal. I know SO MANY people who traded me their EBT for .40/$1 . By and large, it's just an entitlement program for lazy fucks, and they absolutely should make it harder to get. -

11% of Americans are on food stamps. This takes food away from the 0.02% who need it while looking for work. These are not people scamming the system. This law was already strict enough as is, and implemented during the 2008 recession. You can only do it for up to 3 months out of a 3 year period then it auto shuts off if you're not able to prove you are working.
Just kicking some of the most desperate Americans while they're down. I guarantee you multiple users here have had to use this at one point or another and are either working with food stamps or not on it anymore.
