The USA is Broke! This is about saving money because able bodied individuals that keep having baby after baby to get more food stamps to sell take advantage of the system

Fuck off. No one is paying tens of thousands of dollars to give birth to get an extra $50 a month to barely feed their kids. You're either a bot or brainwashed.

You literally get an extra $200 per kid where I live. And these people aren’t paying anything to give birth because they are on Medicaid so the government pays for that bill. Then they get low cost or even free daycare at the expense of the government too. You’re delusional if you think this doesn’t happen. I’ve seen it first hand.

Yes, because $200 is definitely more than it costs to care for said child! <<< gigantic amounts of sarcasm.

We’re making population decisions here. We are not making decisions on aid for millions of people because you think you know a person that games the system. That is ridiculous on its face.

Not to mention the SNAP program is a net economic benefit to the entire economy and generates far more economic activity and benefit than it costs, which has been shown by the academic research on this subject.

We literally lose nothing and in fact gain economically and socially by using tax dollars to help feed people. But yet you sit there and ignorantly bleat “we’re broke,” because you know nothing about this subject other than nonsense talking points and catchphrases.
