General Discussion

I remember around 15-20 years ago seeing some Republican asshole spewing on one of the cable news networks about "food stamps." I think it was the scumbag who started the Tea Party. Can't remember his name. His proposal was to literally just hand out bags of beans and rice to the recipients, and that's it. No fruits. No vegetables. No seasonings to flavor the damn beans and rice. No eggs, no canned tuna. Just dried beans and rice, because you poor people don't deserve any enjoyment in life. But, yes. It's is absolutely all about shaming poor people.

BTW, there are states that prohibit the purchase of steak and shrimp/lobster/crab/etc. with EBT benefits. Only the "cheap: fish, like tilapia, whiting, canned tuna allowed. None of that "luxury" stuff for you poors. Not even to celebrate a birthday or other special occasion.
