SNAP, just like that, the feed bag got bigger. In yet another naked attempt to enslave a significant part of our population and entice millions to make a dangerous trek to cross our border, food assistance was increase by regulation 27%. Because the state wants to encourage healthier eating and the costs of healthier food is rising (precipitously), a family of four will now receive $835 a month for “supplemental” food purchases. The number was $537 just two years ago.

Despite the clear connection between obesity and a host of ailments including susceptibility to Covid – 19 (pick your variant), there are no restrictions on what can be bought. Studies show about 20% of purchases are on snacks and sugary drinks. Other studies show that people in the same socio-economic cohort actually eat healthier than those receiving food stamps, aka SNAP. Of course, much of these credits never make it to the mouth of the families as they are sold for cash to be spent on other things like drugs.

Despite this ill conceived and executed program totaling nearly $80,000,000,000 in 2020, Woman Infant and Child (WIC – another nutrition program) and school lunches, the Marxists want to add, $3,500,000,000,000 in new entitlements for free day care, pre-K, a dumbed down and racist elementary and high school curriculum before providing free community college. Completing the menu of total dependency, state supplied/subsidized housing.* This while also wrecking our economy by insisting we become a third world country on energy.

The hits just keep on coming.
