Maybe starve the idiots who voted for the rape and pillage of our one-time democracy…I realize a lot of innocents also would suffer, I just don’t know how else to get thru.
Biden already cut S.S. for 2 yrs in a row by claiming inflation is only 2.5% when it is much higher. the COLA is based on the inflation rate. My increase last year was only $60.00. This year is going to be the same. 60 bucks does not even come close to cover my food cost, let alone everything else.
This would push vulnerable populations over a “hunger cliff,” The impact on families, seniors, and disabled individuals would be severe. So much for compassionate conservatives
The cruelty is and always has been the point. Any one of these folks who claims to be a “good Christian” needs to brush up on the teachings of Jesus. 😡
So he wants to cut food stamps and get rid of regulation. Sounds yummy. When people can eat, maybe they can get ecoli too. I think that’s the bang for the buck he is referring to? 2 for 1 deal? Really 3 for 1 because if you get sick you won’t be able to afford to see a doctor.
Let's say "rewrite the farm bill." John Oliver did a very enlightening segment on the farm bill. We want to support family farms, sustainable agriculture, more varieties of crops. No corporate subsidies.
A large majority of their base uses programs like SNAP. What really needs to happen is that representatives need to have their salaries equal to the average middle class person. I guarantee a majority of them would be middle class people actually aware of middle/lower class issues.
So not wanting to feed those children? Huh they R seriously Fcked up! Since when do we starve children? MAGA gonna bitch about that also? I knew a few collecting that help. How many are months away if Trump costs you that job from needing a helping hand?
Meanwhile......
More Republican election rigging .
This is the problem, a judge throws out over 60,000 ballots because HE lost the election, you read it right, a judge in North Carolina.
You can check to make sure this is true, legacy media will not cover this.
I suppose furniture, food and entertainment, travel and other congressional subsidies will remain the same, along with free healthcare for you and the fam.
It was a Dickins story wherein Scrooge asks are there not work houses? His suggestion was that the poor should die and decrease the surplus population.
Probably not applicable here because Scrooge had an epifany and realized the true spirit of xmas.
We were talking to a local farmer last week, and he mentioned that people around here used to eat clay. Maybe I need to get that recipe for the people that will lose their food stamps.
What the actual hell is this country I am living in right now???
And then they'll work to get harsh sentencing guidelines for shoplifting so that the people going hungry increase the profits of the private prison industry. Our society is pretty predictable.
While he's digging through the papers, maybe he can get Congress and Senate members to pay back their loans that were (nearly choking)forgiven that they took during covid. Talk about welfare!
The GOP gives the wealthy big tax breaks, which contribute trillions to the natnl. debt, then they turn around and say they need to cut programs that help those in need. And yet, they have tricked those same people into voting them.
Republicans: “Fuck all ya’ll. Well, except the billionaires and corporations who need more tax cuts and government subsidies. But the poors and the plebs and the veterans… fuck all ya’ll.”
The GOP always pretend to be the party of family values but now wants to cut food stamps ... which poor families need to survive and a lot of them are maga voters.
You can't make this up.
The plan: Mass deportation - cut snap= lots of low minimum wage available that will force the people cut from snap to work. Bringing austerity (measures can include cutting public sector salaries, social protection financing, and safety net expenditures) to U.S.
I live in rural America, and every Monday the car line for our local food pantry can reach a half mile long or longer. Since Helene, the need has grown substantially.
What Tom Tiffany, and others, salivating over their “supposed power” to chop up our Government, piece by piece, don’t realize is this:
It affects even their Republican voting citizens & when They join with Dems to rise up & say “Enough” ….. Beware. 😳
I live in Wisconsin, this man supposedly represents me. I fucking hate him, he’sa bigoted and awful human being that his colleagues say is abrasive, disruptive, uncooperative and generally unpleasant. He’s really, really terrible and does not get enough credit for it.
Rep. Tom Tiffany up in the Dairy State wants to cut a program that makes a bunch of Wisconsin farm products affordable to lower income families.
Is that what WI farmers voted for? (Kinda, since they went heavy for Trump. Seems like a bad choice all of a sudden, huh.)
They forget that the 'deal' is that city & suburban Democrats vote for the farm subsidies in exchange. That could be up for a shift.
Also, those SNAP benefits are rung up as real money to the grocery store and thus to the wholesaler and ultimately, also to the farmer in sold product. Huh, it's like
First they got rid of the unions. Cutting all the safety net programs guarantees a permanent underclass . That assures the oligarchs of available underpaid workers.
They know exactly what they are doing. What they don't know, but will soon find out, is that the citizens are not as passive as they think we are. See South Korea and Georgia.
There was a time that single men were getting food stamps. That was stopped and the only thing that happened was home invasions, robberies and muggings went up. Then it was reinstated. Stopping all food stamps will have people doing, what they need to do, just like before, but in greater numbers.
Food stamps do not cover an entire month of food. Nor do they allow people to buy toothpaste and shampoo. Our social “safety “ net barely covers anything.
My point is he's probably rarely met a SNAP recipient, and even so never equated it with his constituency, but rather Other People. So, cutting it isn't any big deal to him, right? Are there no workhouses, are there no prisons etc etc.
I see what you are saying but that is not accurate. I am one of his constituents (unfortunately). The town I live in is fairly affluent but you do need to look hard to find people that are struggling. It gets much easier to find them the as you drive through the smaller towns in the district.
You say this in a Wisconsin bar about conditions on helping Wisconsin destruction and I bet you get a fat lip! Plus he probably does not have the balls to say it in a bar- screw that guy
Since a lot of political figures refuse to work FOR the people who vote for them I'd like to see their salaries and benefits cut until such time as they do actual work for the every day people of this country.
God knows they don’t earn them.. voting on issues is done on a voluntary basis.. Perhaps voters should look up records before re electing those who do Jack but collect a salary & participate in inside trading. Perhaps media should start covering this issue come election time.
Republicans are the cause of most problems in America, fueled by greed, hate, racism, ignorance and lack of empathy. They are puppets run by Oligarchs.
Why, AGAIN!, is their first order of business cutting necessaries while giving the rich (rinse and repeat) yet another tax cut? They were enabled in this country the opportunity to make out sized profits.
The one on the wall there looks like one of those "you came to a hockey game, or you like hockey, so here is a fake stick with an autograph on it", and would do little damage.
We need to find the original Christian aluminum stick from the 80's. You couldn't break that over the crossbar if you tried
And give the billionaires tax breaks and reduce regulations……. So they can be even greedier!! O, and eliminate Education Dept. so the rich can use school vouchers!! Yes, but cut food stamps!! Way to go USA!!!!
I guess he has his priorities. Food stamps gone more money for millionaires and billionaires. I guess he's not part of the republican christian coalition.
#MaryMiller refuses to meet with her own constituents but has time to sneak in town to meet with the #FarmBureau to fill their ears with lies! We are holding our own town hall in #Illinois without her! Please spread the word! #MAGA #lies
It's only just started, people. All the GOP congresspeople are lining up with their wildest dreams about cutting social programs. Trump's henchmen will make it happen to appease him. This was a gift from 77 million Americans and 10 million absentee voters.
Confirms—Republicans love the rich. No talk from Rep. Tiffy about not giving the wealthy another tax cut. FAFO time for those white working class people and the poor?
He needs to check the % of people in his district that are receiving assistance. My parents (middle class college educated life long republicans) were briefly on food stamps when I was young. Cuts like that will affect a broad swath of the voting population.
Yeah he's getting real fucking excited about cutting support for poor people there. What a putz. And aGAAIIN with the "let the job creators loose" bullshit! This guy is a state-of-the-art GOP slime bag, circa 2001.
That would not only hurt the poor who rely on SNAP to live, but also the entire food industry.
Also, I'm not sure how a lot of big box store and fast food employees will be able to make ends meet since those jobs don't pay enough to cover groceries on top of other necessary bills.

I think they're being fairly transparent about it.
when the whole world was in lockdown they knew a bunch of us would die, but they forced us back to work because: greed
I hope the poor are happy with who they elected.

Cut the farm bill, especially corporate farms. Cut the obscene subsidies the oil companies get
These are their real targets.
bibles

Tit for tat, man.
No more freeloading.
The oligarchs have all the money, where is this surge of new money to come from?
Oh, he means the rich will take even more money from those with no power to stop them before they starve and die.
Humanitarian of the year material, right there.
Probably not applicable here because Scrooge had an epifany and realized the true spirit of xmas.

Happy to have $8 trillion in tax cuts for millionaires and billionaires.
Want to cut mandatory spending like food stamps.
Satanic Republican.
You can't make this up.
Also rural poverty is a thing.
All of these politicians act like it is just the urban poor, it is not.
It affects even their Republican voting citizens & when They join with Dems to rise up & say “Enough” ….. Beware. 😳

Hungry people tend to bring all sorts of other problems - ask Louis XIV.
Now you’re talking!
All democrats should follow Chris Murphy’s lead.

Great for slicing oranges.
They'll F it up like they always do!
Just chaos, dysfunction & turmoil! 🙄
