Do you even understand taxes? Why would a person who earns enough money qualify for snap? When you inject money into the economy it creates inflation which is why a bag of Fritos was over $7. My example was one of countless ways to make sure the people who need snap get benefits. There is more than one way to skin a cat and don’t claim to have all the answers but to act like the way snap benefits were dispersed didnt have adverse effects on the economy is delusional at this point.
You aren’t wrong that putting money into the economy raises inflation. However, the inflation from SNAP disbursements is inconsequential compared to stuff like putting tariffs on everything or allowing corpos to raise prices out of pure greed. There’s really no point in examining SNAP’s effect on inflation when there are much more consequential concerns to focus on.
That’s absolutely true. Im not insinuating that snap was the reason inflation was high. However the cuts to snap absolutely had an affect on the prices of certain things. Soda and chips were the most obvious. I don’t have a problem with snap as an idea. However the way it’s implemented is stupid. Not to mention it does nothing the solve the issue. Instead of giving money to corporations (which is basically what snap does) the government should be forcing them to pay livable wages or be creating affordable housing so people don’t need to choose between food and rent.
I’ve been on snap before. I’ve also skipped many meals. It is a shit program that is poorly distributed and disproportionately benefits people that abuse it.
If it even helped one person than that’s great but all you sjw’s that want to defend the honor of SNAP is insane.

Someone has never gone hungry or skipped a meal to feed a child…

I’d rather my tax dollars go to food that is being “abused” than whatever the fuck else the government is spending money on.
