Loser ---- Turds salivating about poor white women with children losing food money to pay for tax cuts for billionaires.

I see the site's main Pedo Protector for Paxton AND Trump, has no argument at all as per usual.
"Demographic data shows that about 62% to 67% of SNAP participants live in families with children.
Of adult recipients under 60, nearly 63% are women, and a significant portion of these are single mothers.
A breakdown of who benefits from SNAP highlights the following:Age:
Children make up the largest age group, accounting for about 38% to 39% of all participants. Non-elderly adults (18-59) make up around 42%, and adults over 60 account for about 19%"

Reagan popularized black 'Welfare Queens driving Cadillacs', when as it turned out, most were white women with children.
You must be so proud.
Billionaires thank you for your... oh, wait, they wouldn't piss on you if you were on fire. And they need to take a piss.

Mid-term elections marks the beginning of the dismantling next year.
Social Security and Medicare are going to be siphoned away.
Empty Bank Day looms closer.

Is your hair on fire?
They're giving the states with the worst waste until 2030 to get it together.

I wonder where they'll be lost. Perhaps out at sea

Into his Qatar bank account.
Along with the billions stolen from American taxpayers.

The closer we get to elections.
The more desperate Trump will become.
November is 3 months away, which is an eternity, and more than enough time for Trump and republicans to finalize their plans to steal the election.

Pres Trump proves once again that he does not care about the Americans who have cope with his economic disasters as they try to put food on the table for their children.
The Trump admin seems to be concerned about the low birth-rates here in the US. But what is he doing to raise those birth rates? Nothing, apparently.
Indeed, he seems to be making it more difficult for parents to feed children on their low working wages.
That he cares about reducing taxes for the wealthy seems to him to be more important than feeding hungry children.

Is a fascinating statement of ignorance; it completely ignores the fraud rates and assumes that the "poor" people are receiving benefits.
I see no reason American taxpayers should pay for high rates of fraud. I recall when I arrived here, politicians held the taxpayer in high regard.
Today, not so much; it just seems it's just someone to mooch off of. The more the government can take and give to fraudulent people, the better.
What I find incredible is that if fraud were diminished us Liberals could get what we want. America is, by socialist definitions, a socialist state; 61% of federal tax dollars are allocated for BOOMERS to receive. Yet people here would have you believe the US is a capitalist hell hole.
idk seems like socialists are getting what they want, but they also want to kill the golden goose as well.

I believe the people who allow and are committing the fraud are the ones who don't care about the Americans.
Its noble to want to give to people to put food on the table, BUT that's not where the money is going.
Why do you Lumpers avoid that fact completely.
Can't we agree fraud is bad? Can't we agree lots of fraud is worse? How do you propose to stop it without incentives?
I expect crickets from the so-called posters that want to actually discuss issues.

So, MAGA's ~women should be pregnant and not working~ mantra seems to be working, but Pres trump doesn't want to feed the results of that ~policy?~

So far, it hasn't been called "fraud". It's simply being treated as mismanagement of funds - a lot of funds. And the states with the highest amount of it are being given until 2030 to get it reeled in to 6%. Or they can opt to pay for it themselves.

"They're giving the states with the worst waste until 2030 to get it together."
If the criteria is such that 41 of 50 states currently fail, the actual purpose and effect of the legislation will be to reduce even the proper and justified SNAP payments.
This is much like the Republicans purging voter rolls based on first name, last name, and date of birth. And ignoring any evidence that multiple individuals might all share the same names and birthdays. It's designed to get the outcome it wants, which is fewer people allowed to vote.
Surely you understand all of that, and you're just playing dumb about the real intent of Republicans, which is to cripple the social safety net.

^ The fraud is the Republican plan itself.
"In the 2024 calendar year, Texas issued $6.97 billion in total SNAP payments to Texas families participating in the program. These SNAP payments generated an estimated $10.73 billion in economic activity for the state " a 54% return on investment." www.feedingtexas.org
Republicans would rather not get that 54% Return on Investment. Why is that, LftHndThrds?

"it completely ignores the fraud rates"
I noticed an interesting stat at the cms.gov website: The Medicaid estimated improper payment rate (comprised of the past three cycles of approximately 17 state per cycle from reviews in 2023, 2024, and 2025) was 6.12%, or $37.39 billion, compared to the FY 2024 reported rate of 5.09%, or $31.10 billion. Of the FY 2025 Medicaid improper payments, 77.17% were the result of insufficient documentation, which is generally not indicative of fraud or abuse. www.cms.gov
Did you catch that? Over 77% are simply missing full documentation, so they're classified as "improper payments", where the payment could be correct, save for one missing form. That 6.12% rate could be as low as 1.41%, plus avoidable mistakes.
