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.
if people are taking advice from LIZARD RAFAEL CANCUN CRUZ as a fact, its on them.
To appropriate another well known saying about owing money… If one person believes easily disproven misinformation, that’s on them. If a large percentage of the population believes it… That’s on all of us… We need to bring back critical thinking to education but we also need to remove these corrupt assholes from power asap
