The US Department of Agriculture has spent the past week notifying people that the country is (allegedly) overrun by individuals who are fraudulently claiming SNAP benefits, while (allegedly) driving luxury vehicles.
“In just ONE state, 14,000 individuals receiving SNAP benefits were driving LUXURY VEHICLES!” Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins posted on X last week. The official USDA account made similar claims, which were then amplified by figures like Senator Ted Cruz and Senator Rand Paul.
Those numbers are questionable at best. For one thing, the report they come from doesn’t name the state where thousands of people are allegedly buying Ferraris while using government money to buy food. For another, that report doesn’t include any explanation of its methodology.
An old friend from college is now trying to live on $1800 a month from Social Security–in Southern California. She just found out, she will get $24 a month in SNAP, and she had to wade through bureaucracy even for that.
Keep the poors poor, working shit jobs or kill them off if they can’t work. That’s a Christian Nation, puh-raise JEE-zuz-ah!
“Well it’s the churches’ job to give you charity. How else will the poor be preached to incessantly?”
she qualifies for MEDI-CAL, so it would be free healthcare for her. since shes making less the maximum for medi-caid in california. shes pretty close though, i assume shes aiming for that 1800 in order to stay with medi-cal.
