  • Trump's Budget Will Eliminate Food Stamps!!!!!!!

    In what would be one of the biggest shakeups of the U.S. food-stamp program in its five-decade history, President Donald Trump is proposing to slash cash payments and substitute them with "100 percent American grown food" given to recipients.

    The changes, outlined Monday in Trump’s budget proposal, would reshape the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP, which supports roughly one in eight Americans, by reducing cash spending by about one-third from current levels.

    The plan is part of an effort to reform SNAP and save a projected $214 billion over a decade. It would give all households receiving more than $90 a month in cash a food-aid package that would "include items such as shelf-stable milk, ready to eat cereals, pasta, peanut butter, beans and canned fruit, vegetables, and meat, poultry or fish," according to the proposal.

    The so-called USDA America’s Harvest Box "is a bold, innovative approach to providing nutritious food to people who need assistance feeding themselves and their families -- and all of it is home grown by American farmers and producers," Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue said in a statement. The program would provide food-stamp recipients with "the same level of food value" as the current system, Perdue added.

    Never understood why it did not work this way to begin with. Of course, it'll probably be scrapped after a year when quality control slacks and the media shows rancid meats...etc.

        You know, it was this way back in the day. It was supposed to be a little embarrassing getting your government cheese. Fuck a lone star card, go back to straight up food stamps and wick only items.

                This. And it infuriates me seeing them by Cokes and Twinkies on it to boot. Or worse, they're buying steak and lobster with it (have seen that happen), then throw down real cash money on beer.

                    The government cheese that they used to give out was tippy top quality and nothing to bitch about. If you had to pay retail for that quality of cheese it would set you back 12-15 buck per pound today.

                      Oh, I've had it. It is good. My point was, if .gov can do that right, they can do the whole shebanga-bang right. Hell, give me a GS-13 or 14 paycheck, and I'll help make sure it's done right.

                        ^^^^ I do not know how much pay that is but I suspect that you are right.

                          There is probably still a door patched with it from my dorm room at Mad(ison) House just off UT campus from 1986. I think it was from one of my roommates childhood stash.
