BUT, got plenty for illegal immigrants.
@Thomas $500 billion spent on illegals YEARLY. $300 billion on welfare. Alot more for immigrants but still a good chunk goes to welfare.
Because of dummycrats
@@zlonewolfit's a BIG difference, illegals deserve a lead sandwich, actual poor Americans deserve HELP, the illegals need to be PERMANENTLY prevented from EVER coming here AGAIN!
I am so pissed off with this. My parents are both disabled and my dad just had a kidney transplant and they cut them down to $23 a month. They might as well not give anything! On top of that inflation is out of control.
At least the Ukraine is getting billions.
It’s about to get scary out here
Facts ‼️
What? Less expensive food is scary?
How food will get cheaper! Maybe for u, because u don’t want to work. Get a job, feed urself already
@Ha Haha How's that? One dozen jumbo size eggs were $7.88 three weeks ago and now they are down to $3.25
You get It Alright !!
Ending Snap would cause closures to local food banks already struggling. This is not government waste money, it's a lifeline for families. Leave politics out of Congress, and start govern for citizens. Snap and student loans are in jeopardy due to politics. Pathetic.
this woman with three kids looked like she could WORK. Why do poor people keep having kids they can't afford to feed?
I disagree, it's not the government's job to feed able bodied adults. For those parents out there who depend on this kind of program to feed themselves and their children, you should have thought carefully before you became a parent. Children and raising a family costs alot of money. If you're currently on government assistance, think twice about having children. Tax dollars shouldn't be used for the raising of random, that's the job of those children's parents. My taxes shouldn't be raised because some young woman decides that she wants to be a single mother.
@@PeterParker-gz6ml 👍
@@PeterParker-gz6ml While I do agree with you, the majority of our tax dollars go to bs anyway, so given the choice I'd rather give ppl the ability to eat.
@@PeterParker-gz6mlthank God someone said it snaps should be abolished
But you can send all our money to Ukraine. That's wrong
@Brian Moon no single dollar was sent to Ukraine. They sent Bradleys and Howitzers. Weapons. Equipment that was rusting in military bases.
@@zlonewolf that's still a waste and we shouldn't send anything . It's their war not ours . We are about to have a nuke war .
Don’t blame Ukraine for your irresponsibility. Kids, no husband then expect tax payers to pay your way while my HUSBAND gets up at 4:15 to work construction along with his white privilege. Foh
Food stamps are coming to a end
Thank God!
Where did you get that information?
Good. I have no idea how we're even affording social programs at this point. Oh wait we're not.
SNAP is reducing closer back to what it was prepandemic. I don't really enjoy seeing people go hungry.
@@t.h.8475 2/3rds of Americans are overweight.
GOOD!!!!! Hey I got idea!!!!! GET a JOB!!!!!!!
Crime will skyrocket too people already struggling Its literally the Hunger games out here as it is!
B.s they ate
Grow your own food
Sure give a billion dollars to Ukraine and ignore us ...smh...
How are you being ignored?? Handouts since 1965-The Great Society. This has been going on long before Ukraine.
MY MOTHER WHEN SHE CAME TO THE STATES TO LIVE WITH ME I WAS ONLY 3 OR 4 YEARS OLD. AND I'AM VERY PROUD TO SAY, THAT SHE NEVER, EVER DEPENDE ON GOVERMENT HELP. SHE WORK FOR 35 YEARS 5 DAYS A WEEK EVEN WHEN SHE WAS SICK SHE WOULD GET UP AT 5:00 A.M. TO GET TO HER JOB, NEVER MISSED A DAY OF WORK UNTIL SHE WAS TOLD THAT SHE HAD CANCER. AND I WOULD LIKE TO SAY ONE THING MORE. SHE LIFE HER COUNTRY PUERTO RICO TO MAKE A BETTER LIFE FOR HER SELF AND FOR ME. NOT ALL PUERTORICANS COMES TO THE STATES TO LIVE OFF ( TAX PAYERS MONEY) MY MOTHER HAD VERY LITTLE EDUCATION AND SHE UNDERSTOOD VERY,VERY LITTLE ENGLISH BUT SHE GOT ALONG JUST FINE. I'AM VERY PROUD OF HER.
For the ones that truly need it for whatever reason can’t work. I have a disability and have been for many years.There are many that are getting food stamps that are just darn lazy. They Will only work if they like the job, or get the pay they deserve.I’m tired and sick of my country giving so much for free and I’m paying for it as many do. That’s why we gave the issues we have ! How many people are homeless but still have money for smokes or beer. I know many that receive help in one way or another snd have a car payment . Get there nails done , hair done but then need help for food. Look at the people at the malls shopping how many are collecting benefits in one way or another. And the media and city officials feed into this problem. There the ones that are making it worse.they have created a problem that now is out if control and the new generations are coming in expecting help in way or another .
You said it: “the new generations are coming in expecting help in way or another,” Now they’re in Congress trying to hand out student loan forgiveness and money toward a down payment on a home. The government is not your hardworking, sacrificing mother and father.
Its going to LOWER prices! YAY!
O.K. It has been over a week since this comment and prices have begun to fall! lol GOOD!
@Ha Haha Hey, I do not doubt that this will cause great pain. But, as equilibrium is reached, things will be better than they would have been.
will see a increase in crime once this takes effect
It's so high already, you won't notice it
Out of control NOW
By design.
it was always high
this is also the same state that wants to disgrace social security aswell abd throw all the older people and those who deserve is to throw it away
The Bible warned about food shortages. I never assumed the food would still be there but we wouldn't be able to afford it.
Well, we are in luck! The prices will drop like a rock because of this! Eggs will be back to $1.40, etc, etc.
Now u care about prices 😂
Revelation 6:5-6 warns of famine due to inflation. :(
@@Nikooru7925 You're right. This is probably why Jesus warned us to pray for our food for this day! Until God's Kingdom is rulling on earth as it is in heaven we will probably experience far worse than this. (Matthew 6:9-¹1)
@@Nikooru7925 No it does not. Stop lying.
This country got lazy thanks to public support...
Exactly.
Shawanda has 3 grown 'kids' , eating off her?? wth...
He said the majority of people on SNAP benefits are the elderly, the disabled and children, but he omitted the fact that the majority of the parents for these children - are not disabled.
Time to pay the piper...you voted for demonrats sending trillions to Ukraine at taxpayer expense.
And the majority are white and a lot of them work
@@danielszymanski-jw5kq you do understand if you qualify for SNAP you are below the poverty line? Whatever job you may be working it’s not enough to take care of you as a grown adult so you have to rely on people like me to take care of you.
@@j.daniels1548 I'm fine! I know lots of single mothers that work have kids and still can't make it ! Lots of people struggling ! And our representatives send money to Ukraine!
I also know people that make good money and get it for kids they are taking care of! Foster kids
It's really horrible they r doing this to ppl. So sad...
That's what happens when you vote for a president that's allows illegal immigrants into the U.S. to steal all your food money.. next time don't be stupid.
@@daby8399 sorry didn't vote for the fool..not stupid...
Oh no people
Have to feed themselves, get a job like eveone else. Grow up
@@christophergill871 u really think that's why ppl r on food stamps?? Think again chump...u have NO IDEA.....it blows!!!!
@@redrubyslippers8284 yeah I am a chump, I have to work harder and longer to make sure people like u eat and abuse the system. Thanks a lot
State of Maine is doing the same
Me and my wife simply spent regular when the bump up started and let it build up. So when our state went down to regular levels again we still had the extra to fall back on until we both got jobs and didn’t need it anymore. There was quite a bit still on the card when we turned it back in.
Sad part of it's been a long time coming it's sad for the people that can't change their income status put the system sadly has let people take advantage of it for years
Pay people 15 dollars a hour so we can keep up with all these bills then we can pay for our own food this is not hard to fix stop throwing our money away on war we not in and maybe we can fix our own problem and what's crazy is I never got stamps but I understand
The government is trying to get men back to work. Cutting foodstamps will help get that man who isn't being reported in the home back to work. Mom is fine supporting him until she gets hungry.
I’m a checker in a supermarket, 90 percent buy crap food and energy drinks, processed foods, frozen foods
My mom has always bought tons of fresh produce. New cashiers who didn’t know her would ask if she was having a party! 😂 No, it was our normal diet.
Processed food is cheaper than fresh, and for people with a lot of kids or who are busy it’s easier to buy microwave or frozen food
@@aisha-3857 processed is way more expensive than fresh . Potatoes , carrots, celery, bananas, rice , beans ,lentils chicken, turkey, ham, peas corn, green beans oatmeal are all very cheap compared to processed. People always say fresh is expensive it's an excuse for the obesity epidemic and not wanting to cook .
good! leave the good food for us
@@lovelife7343 They eat crap, and drive up medical costs for everyone. What do they care, they don’t pay for anything.
Benefits are a safety net, not a hammock.
Don't let this country 🇺🇸continue to go on god
50 billion to Ukraine. Aren't you happy now?
Yup. Get a job. Stop being dependent on the people who get up every day and work to take care of themselves like an adult. None of these people look like they can’t work a job or two
Mine dropped $254 to $24 per month, my rent jumped $165 per month plus other expenses IF I'm lucky I have $145 a month left for gas, stamps, plates, vehicle repair.
Bless your heart. I’m a single woman and 254$ a month is not enough to feed me. Can’t imagine what it’s like for you now
One word...work. plenty of jobs.
This world 🌎 is gone
This $258 was just extra money during the pandemic. Welfare shouldn't be a generational thing past down, it's supposed to be short term hand up.
would rather feed our own people than give trillions to the rest of the world not just ukraine 🤷♂
Until Obama scrapped the term limits for welfare.
@@Chris-wk7xqstop with Ukraine. It doesn’t matter. These people will expect handouts forever. Ever hear- don’t feed the animals because they get used to/dependent on it? Same thing. (Not calling anyone an animal so calm down). Stop with the handouts and give time limits. Shut them off after x amount of years. Maybe 2!
Good it was about time the young people needs to go find a job
just get rid of it and quit leading people into illusion security
Poor people need to stop having so many kids
Some of these people could work did they want to make a career out of it get a job
Now I know why the grocery store shelves we empty.
I'm wondering why people were getting $21 in cash loaded on ebt when they only get food stamps.
Time to go back to work, entitlementers!
Hey we seniors not rich we get nothing do like us dollar tree Amish grocery outlet senior discount we don't use food banks or depend on our kids we do for ourselves so many sell food stamps drugs alcohol
As they should was temp program not meant forever
She said she has 3 grown children. Make them go get a job.
Grew up poor, at 16 I was a dishwasher. It was nice starting to have pocket money.
Glad I wasn't the only one that caught that!
i heard 3 growing children
She said growing not grown!
Most sell the snap to buy marijuana. It is 50c cash for 1 dollar snap in Las Vegas.
Im only getting 23 dollars a month unemployment paying rent and utilities and they cut my benefits from 291 to 23 dollors
She's poor and has 3 kids. Stop having kids if you can't afford them. This is crazy people that can't afford food having baby after baby after baby. Get your life in order then consider having kids.
...its like talking to a wall....My cousin had two young kids, her Husband left her, she had 3 more births to keep the welfare for 12 yrs. loser!
are these people literally completely dependant on the taxpayers for survival?
dont sale your foodstamps for cash
I only get $23 a month that's her me and my son
She said she has 3 grown children , why are they all still living at home , not working or not paying for their own food at least ?
"growing", is what she said. Her accent is thick. But, I'm sure you would have taken the time to listen to anyone else- that didn't look like her...
@@lavettesmith156 Like her? Meaning overweight?
@@anniealexander3402 your own insecurities, are showing; If all you can focus on is the weight.
To be clear I meant, like any new/old migrants (of various backgrounds)- that are getting/gotten the same resources, too. Or any "in shape" person using any other form of government assistance or donations from others.
@@lavettesmith156 It's you who focused on looks. I was assuming since the topic is foodstamps, you meant her weight. Why are giving foodstamps to overweight people?
@@anniealexander3402 why can people like you live, too?
Classic example of why I don't participate in any government programs. Great if you get it but you get dependent on these programs and your screwed if they get cut off.
Good its about time. Go get a job they are every where. You dont get stuff for free, grow up.
Even though the Government is putting me on a starvation diet i'm still thankful for at least the $20 monthly amount because it leaves me qualified for Heating and Cooling assistance and other programs for disabled.
I got the bump up. I knew it was temporary. I was slow to spend it and let it build up. My benefit return to normal months ago in my state. We're also having a problem where everybody's been cut off just because they're way behind. So I'm cut off also for a few months. A lot of people are panicking but I'm not. I used to buy it when things we're on sale and was able to save because I could buy more. My pantry is full and I still have money on my card because I am very careful. Actually it made all the difference having the extra. I didn't go hungry and I had money for things. Like vehicle registration and license. I'm an adult and I can take care of myself but the children ought not be cut. It's essential for the children to eat good food.
That's because you had manage your food stamp
More people should have been like you
the gov . pays breeders to breed , now think about that
Gotta line up the next generation of votes! Not to mention, dependency =control. It’s that simple
Yeah, I get embarrassed when I go to the Food Pantry places. Honestly, I don't like how the pantry workers keep sniffing and wiping their noses. I have been told before -- that they think we smell. And, they say that you can smell "The Poor" (like me) from a mile away. I don't think I stink, because I do take baths. Just maybe they have learned how to smell the difference between rich people and poor people. Who knows? It might be possible to smell if someone is rich, I guess, I don't know.
Maybe they are doing drugs
Oh 😅
Well what about seniors.
Time dig through the trash for food
For those that are grown adults ! WHY SHOULD GROWN ADULTS TAKE CARE OF GROWN ADULTS. proper education , hard work , saving not spending making sacrifices in life that successful people make to get were they are today. And most importantly!!! PROPER PLANNING. How many can nearly afford to take care of themself and yet go out and have kids? Where’s the responsibility ? We as a society has to pick the responsibility now for their kids for their actions. Then they complain about they need help and their children . Then you hear every excuse in the book why they can’t work and the pay is not enough to support them and their kids. SO HERES MY QUESTION” why do they have children then? Proper planning. If you don’t have enough money to make means to take care of them and yourself . DONT HAVE ANY CHILDREN !!! Their your responsibility to feed and cloth them and fulfill what’s needed not the TAX PAYERS.And then they say “I pay taxes to”the answer to that is NO YOU DONT because your getting money back and getting help so your paying NOTHING!!!
I can’t believe the schools were handing out breakfast and lunch during the shutdown. Gimme a break. Some POCs waiting in line to get into the grocery store told me that if the schools didn’t do that, “then the kids won’t get a lunch.” Uh, the parents don’t think it’s their responsibility to feed their kids lunch? We’re already providing food stamps. 🙄
First of all that's her fault taking care of her grown kids letting them eating up all the food.
I say once their kids finish high school it's time to get a full time job or go to school no more laying around playing video games staying up. Make them pay their own cell phone bill or buy food.
I know some make excuses that the jobs don't pay enough they gotta start somewhere.
AMEN. So sick and tired of the single mother sob story. Totally avoidable while the rest of us go to work and act like responsible adults. Poor me I need handouts.
@Leena Wexler well my bad
$23 a month??? What good is $23 worth of food a month going to do us???
Are they bullshitting this anit right
Groceries will go down because there will no prize that’s been fueling the greed
Yep
Because 3 years of steady INFLATION mustn't be factored into this decision? Boooooooooooo
People need to remember, IMMIGRANTS needs to be taken care of. In NYC, they are housing millions of immigrants coming from other countries that are being put in luxury hotels. Immigrants need a better life than Americans!
Usually Scammed Americans
This has nothing to do with immigrants. SNAP was increased during Covid.
Dumb comment.
2:04 dollar general is not cheap on anything in the freezer or fridge. Get real lady when you think your saving money, not.
Put a SNAP on Child Support it isn't for the best interest of the Children. Tired of being a self indentured slave to this Country. Ima bout to quit my job so you get zero
Good idea! Let them work. I’m sick of paying for these baby mamas
I'm sure everyone will be looting out there.
There's a way to make it up and it's like by taking away from the military budget (federal spending) of sending money over to you came and redistributing it amongst snap recipients thank you have a good life
My suggestion:. Stop spending money on fancy hairdos, take care of your fingernails yourself, start cooking from scratch, stop going to fast food restaurants, then you don't need any free foods paid for by working taxpayers. That's what I do, it works, you may even be able to put some money into savings.
For the love of God these people were told this extra money was TEMPORARILY.Mabr they should look up the word on there free Obama phones😂😂😂
Yall Voted For This
Tell us how so
People voted for the cost of food to increase all around the world ? Who did ? Where was this election held ? What were the other choices they had to vote for ?
This was not up for vote.
I’m scared, people need food
There is this thing called WORK. Hungry is a good motivator to do something for yourself...unless you're like this woman. She just wants FREE everything.
Maybe, but food is not a right.
@@shauncameron8390 You sound like a devil
Abolish food stamps.
I feel the decrease happened in order to take care of the immigrants. After all, they were promised a lot of help. I worked hard my entire life and worked 5 additional years when I should have been on disability. Eventually I couldn't work anymore and had to take the disability. $1,090 a month. Rent $920. Snap $23. With several health issues I am looking for a job I can physically do. I have one lung, osteoarthritis, emphysema to name the worst. Since I haven't worked in a few years I can't find work. It's getting tough and going to get worse for us older people on disability. This administration is so busy taking care of the rest of the world that we now have to suffer. I get so frustrated but it's out of my control. I'm sorry for the long post but I really needed this rant. I'm sure a lot of you are in my same situation.
I guess they won't be spending food stamps on a $50 birthday cake or $75 dollars worth of Little Debbie's anymore!
Or two $50 rosca de Reyes , at the bakery paid with food stamps card that comes out of a Louis Vuitton wallet 😡
Well it's time for everyone to get that part time jobs to make ends meet.
THANK YOU
Omgosh
Everyone has been lazy the last 2 years. People can finally get back to the work! Government has been enabling families the last 2 years to be lazy.
You mean since 1965. The baby mamas would rather choose the check than the man.
If you can afford getting your hair done, if you are obese and keep having more kids you can afford, then how hard can you really be struggling?
What are you talking about? I don't get my hair done and even if I did that's my business I have one child I work everyday everybody needs food the government gets the money back. You shouldn't have to make a decision either to buy medicine or food is just ridiculous
Feed Ukraine democrats and republicans
Plenty of jobs available

choice better and youll have better thats not bashing or knocking anyone its truth real men will step up those who arent youll be sitting in welfare office alone
That guy needs to use a mirror next time he shaves :-) missed a big patch
comunist?
Cutting welfare will only FORCE PEOPLE TO BE MORE RESPONSIBLE. I see this as an absolute win
They should go hunting , grow their food or skip a meal like democrats state
Good now they can get jobs no more free be lol
You need to get off your hind parts and work like the rest of us..being disabled is a poor excuse
What do you suggest the senior and disabled citizens do. Go back to eating dog food just to service???? Or eat only one time every three days, I'm not exaggerating that is what it will come down to with the food prices at the way they are today trying to get by was tough with prices of food at rate they were before the way they were before the pandemic. My partner and I are both disabled with the 17.$ food allowance we both got before the increases we honestly are one meal every other day to service. Yes that also included when we would cook a big pot of beans or soup we still would skip eating a day to make that pot of beans last for at least a week. Even in public housing rent prices have gone up they plan ONOTHER rent increase in July of way over a hundred dollars a month if that goes through we won't be able to pay our rent we will be homeless and living on the street.
Our apartment will be ONOTHER apartment available for illegal Aliens invading our southern BORDERS.
The Government will pay the ALIENS RENT FULLY WITH NO CHARGE TO THEM!!!
