40 Million Americans Receive SNAP Benefits To Help With Food - 700,000 Purged. 120 Arrested For Fraud
- Thread starter fatpiggy
- Start date
honestly, how does anyone come up with numbers like these? They may be 100% correct, but I just don't know how they would come up with a factual average of how much snap recipients weigh
Biden expanded food stamps in 2021
How Biden’s Massive Increase in Food Stamps Is Fueling the Worker Shortage
"— Supplemental NUTRITION assistance program should not include candy, sodas and extremely unhealthy foods"
I could be wrong, but I believe this has already been cut out. Either way, you are correct 100% on all 3 points.
LOVING THE POSSIBILITY OF THE SHUTDOWN PUSHING A LOT OF PARASITES OFF SNAP
THOSE TRULY IN NEED PLEASE HOPE THEY ARE NOT HURT BY THE DEMOCRATIC SHUTDOWN

Not per ChatGPT. This should be an incredibly obvious and near unanimous change that we can make. I'm curious if anyone on here disagrees?
Foods and Drinks You Cannot Buy with SNAP
1. Alcoholic beverages
- Beer, wine, liquor, mixed drinks, or any product containing alcohol.
- Anything meant to be eaten immediately.
Examples:- Hot deli meals or rotisserie chickens.
- Restaurant food or café meals.
- Convenience store hot foods (e.g., pizza by the slice, hot sandwiches).
(Exception: Some homeless, elderly, or disabled individuals can use SNAP at authorized restaurants under the “Restaurant Meals Program.”)
- Household supplies, paper goods, cleaning products.
- Pet food.
- Toiletries and cosmetics.
- Vitamins, supplements, or medicines (even if sold as food, like protein powders labeled “supplement”).
- Alcoholic drinks (as above).
- Some energy drinks if labeled “Supplement Facts” instead of “Nutrition Facts” (they’re considered supplements, not food).
Maybe they were fake videos but I saw videos of people getting pissed because they couldn't buy candy bars with their EBT card.
I would expand that to processed foods, or foods that contain known negative health outcomes like:
- anything with HFCS
- anything with artificial trans fats
- any refined grains
- anything with a high sodium level
And any product with chemical additives like preservatives, dyes, and artificial sweeteners.
But the FDA has been bought and paid for, so they would never support.
If we really want to make this country healthy, and eliminate food deserts, then start by restricting what can be purchased with SNAP, and what can be served in our public schools. You would crush the market for cheap unhealthy foods.
What makes you think they're getting pushed off SNAP? They'll start collecting again as soon as the government reopens.
Nearly 50 years ago I was behind a guy at the grocery checkout. This was when food stamps were actually paper coupons. The guy had some lunch meat, bread, and a 6 pack of beer and the total was about $10. He handed the cashier a $5 food stamp coupon and a $5 bill. The cashier said sorry sir but I cannot accept food stamps for beer. So he switched hands gave her the $5 for beer then paid for the meat and bread with the food stamp which she gladly accepted.
This is what they mean when they say money is fungible.
This post explains it factually imo.
This is insane
“Food stamp spending was just $4.5 billion in December of 2019
By December 2022, thanks to a massive expansion by the Biden Admin, food stamp spending was $11 billion per month”
$11 billion PER MONTH feeding mainly illegals Democrats dumped into America
“That's a lot of new artificially subsidized demand. And guess what? In that same period, grocery prices went up.
By some estimates, food prices go up by 1% for every 12% increase in food stamp spending.
In this case, we're looking at a percentage increase of nearly 150%. So you could do the math on that. It's more than a 10% increase in your grocery bill every single month.
What this means is that if you're a working American and you're not on food stamps, meaning you are a functional citizen who is taking care of yourself and your own family, you are a functional contributing citizen.
What that means is you are actually paying against your will for other people's groceries twice. You're paying when the government takes the money out of your paycheck And then you're paying again every time you buy groceries for yourself.”

This has been happening for at least the 40 years that I could be considered a reliable witness. ****, I've seen them roll up to the "check-out line" with two shopping carts (on many, many occasions). One filled with food products (paid for by food stamps). The other filled with beer/wine (paid in straight up cash hommie).
Everyone knows this crap is happening including the cashiers and store managers but they don't have any authority to stop it.
Just like people voting without ID. Every sane person in this country knows there are people voting who should not be allowed to. Problem is, the "boots on the ground" folks have no authority to stop it.
What the democrats did here is steal money from the taxpayers and launder it to illegals. People need to do hard time.
SNAP BENEFIT CORRUPTION EXPOSED
USDA secretary @SecRollins calls to overhaul the EBT program as massive fraud and corruption is exposed:
- SNAP increased 40% under Biden admin

if they're committing fraud, that in itself should be cause for deportation
Whoa..check this out.
The 21 states that refused to send their SNAP data to the USDA are:
California
Colorado
Connecticut
Delaware
Hawaii
Illinois
Maine
Maryland
Massachusetts
Michigan
Minnesota
Nevada
New Jersey
New Mexico
New York
Oregon
Pennsylvania
Rhode Island
Vermont
Virginia
Washington
And, of course, Washington, D.C. is in the mix too.
These states are stonewalling because they know the fraud is massive. When you hide the books, it’s never to protect the honest folks—it’s to cover up the rot. Meanwhile, the states that did cooperate are already exposing exactly the kind of abuse the left swears doesn’t exist.

Fox News’ Will Cain breaks down how people are using SNAP benefits to scam American taxpayers likely out of millions.
(1) A cashier runs a $100 EBT card for food but gives the customer $50 in cash instead of groceries.
(2) A recipient sells the EBT card balance to another person.
(3) Falsifying an application by claiming fewer household members, less income, or fake pay stubs.
Do you think the SNAP narrative that dominated the narrative for a good week, was just a coincidence.
SNAP has ALWAYS been a democrat money laundering operation to fund the party.
Guess what is now being exposed?
“U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins joined Fox News on Sunday and addressed the American people about the USDA's massive effort to combat fraud in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP).
Rollins said that the Trump administration sent letters to all governors prohibiting illegal aliens from accessing benefits, with a historic request for state data to be audited alongside the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). She said only 29 states cooperated, primarily red and some blue states.
She said her team and DOGE found some of the most shocking fraud ever, resulting in the purging of 700,000 ineligible recipients since the president's inauguration, and arrested 118 individuals.”
“Some of the key findings she unveiled in the interview:
•SNAP spending surged nearly 40% under Biden, linked to $100 billion in expenditures.
•Thousands of ineligible illegals used EBT cards; one individual claimed benefits in six states.
•About 5,000 deceased recipients were still receiving aid.”

Money cut off first:
Fraud exposed second.
Prosecution third.
Then end the federal program.
I don’t think there will be a SNAP program in the near future. Federal taxpayers, should not be subsidizing blue state governments and cities.
Thank you for playing!
Its #3.
Dear 50% of Americans Who Pay Federal Income Tax:
~42,000,000 people living in the USA (legally and illegally) will apparently starve if they do not get to have the money you earned with the sweat of your brow.
Now, there are three possible ways to consider that statement:
1. It's a total lie.
2. We currently have a Great Depression II and a widespread famine in America.
3. The number of people who really do need your money to have enough food to eat nutritious meals is actually much, much smaller than 42mm, and roughly 90% of the people taking those dollars from you are freeloaders who are taking what amounts to bribes from Democrats in exchange for their everlasting votes.
I think it's #3. Although #1 has merit too.
Sincerely,
A Really Fed Up Overworked Dude Who Feels Pain in the Pit of His Stomach Every Time He Has to Write a Check for a Quarterly Estimated Income Tax Payment

Very simple to fix. If you commit fraud in any social welfare program, you are banned from them all for life. Start enforcing.
99/1 really, if you’re an American citizen you should demand that social welfare programs be 100% allocated to OUR citizens. Elon has a theory that makes more sense than any I’ve heard. This was all by design. Biden opening the pocketbooks to non-citizens got them here and keeps them here. His claim is that these people are voting in huge swaths for democratic candidates. If we cut off that aid to them, they will leave (self deport), also destroying the Democratic Party. That’s why they’ve been willing to hold 43 million hostage. They know if this is reviewed and exposed it’s all over for them in their current form. Maybe this will be the catalyst for the rebirth of the Democratic Party. Away from woke socialism and back to Clinton era Democratic politics.

Cut their federal funding until they comply. Send the NG in to get the documents. This is illegal. People need to be arrested.
