Food stamps have been regulated since day fucking uno dude

Where I live you can spend them on any food that isn’t hot. Sorry about your shithole state.

Demanding Congress let you use WIC to buy a Big Mac?

You actually can use SNAP to buy a Big Mac if you meet certain conditions, which makes sense if you spend five fucking seconds to think about how food stamps are also issued to people without kitchens or even homes. For some people the options really are Big Mac or nothing.

Tax the rich, totally, and maybe in 2028 we can start that. But I don’t want to wait to fix SNAP and you play with the hand you’re dealt

So you want to cooperate with Republicans to restrict what poor people can use food stamps on, and somehow have deluded yourself into believing this is leftist? lmao

Everything you talk about wanting to implement costs money. Who’s analyzing every single food item that comes out on the market and certifying it? Who’s paying for that? How are small businesses going to afford it for every food item they produce? Because that’s a great way to ensure only huge corporations get any money from WIC and food stamps.

The disgust you have for the poor is dripping off every word you type, and it’s gross. If you can’t deal with poor people feeding themselves the ‘wrong’ foods with their food stamps, that’s a personal issue you need to cope with. Especially considering you’ve never even used food stamps in a red state (silence is admission). Try listening to people on food stamps who have dealt with this instead of barging in and declaring you know how to fix their lives better than they do.
