Saturday, January 31, 2026

USDA Secretary Brooke Rollins: "The American dream is not being on a food stamp program. The American dream is not being on all these programs. That should be a hand up, not a handout. As of yesterday, we have moved 1.75 million people off of SNAP."

It was recently estimated that a job takes around 11 weeks to obtain, new or used.

Brooke is hurting everyone, not just the intended victims.

I wonder how many removed were illegal aliens who never should have been receiving it in the first place.

No you don't.
If you wondered that you'd Google it.

You wonder even less how this affects citizens.
Citizens aren't even on your radar.

Anything that might harm illegals is worth it.
Any citizens harmed are written off as acceptable collateral damage.

Even captured POWs and prison convicts are not allowed to be starved.
