Damn sure would be nice if they would eliminate the grocery sales tax for us working folks. I don't make enough to have a damn thing and I make too much to get all of these government handouts. The Biden/Harris inflation is putting me in the poor house. Gas prices back and forth to work and trying to feed my family is hard.

Huh, that kinda seems more like picking up the whole tab than assistance. We are a family of 6. 10 years ago ( I know, inflation) all 3 teens and 1 tween were at home consuming as fast as I could haul it in. Not wanting to shop multiple places everything came from Kroger; food, paper products, cleaning supplies, toiletries, off the shelf meds. I spent about $800/month. I did try to shop carefully. Now it’s just the two of us with one college kid who shows up some. I don’t believe we spend $500 month now. And we don’t live an austere lifestyle.

Is this a direct result of getting Favre, Feel, New and Dibiase hands out of the cookie jar?

9:42, "I don't make enough to have a damn thing and I make too much to get all of these government handouts."

They wouldn't cut the grocery tax, but they damn sure made sure the Rich got even more tax cuts.

And they have PLENTY of Welfare Money for NFL and CFL has beens to prosper and build stadiums for their kids. But, hey, somebody making minimum wage might be 8 bucks a day to eat. Gosh!!!

And they damn sure made sure that student loan help was "means tested." But PPP Welfare for 11 million business owners wasn't means tested. And Restaurant Welfare wasn't means tested.

And they damn sure make sure that the same Farm Bills that fund SNAP also have BILLIONS in Farm Welfare for the richest set of folks in America. And they would not impose a wealth tax.

And they have a Billion Dollars for the One Lake Project for Real Estate developers, too!!!

But, you know, Lil Ole Bobby Big Bux IV is going to inherit everything tax free, cuz, Sniff, the Rich are "barely getting by....."

See how that works.

To DC, you are Rich unless you are homeless and living in the streets. No help for you.

But if you are Rich, well, they have a sweet deal for you, after your lobbyists swing by.

You will own nothing and Be Happy!!!!!!! Got it!?!?!

Here is a tip for my fellow Amazon employees. Whole Foods accepts SNAP/EBT and charges a lower price for those items when you use EBT. We can also still use our employee discount. This is similar to how Walmart employees can use their SNAP/EBT benefits with their employee discount!

I'd rather have a volleyball stadium.

For every SNAP dollar that you spend, DHS will match it with a contribution to the USM volleyball program. :-)

What if Kingfish expressed the same level of alarm over this 'cost of living raise' as he does over PERS?

No, 10/4, it ain't got shit to do with Favre, Feel, New and Dibiase. But, it IS all about providing a cookie jar for many who make zero effort and even less contribution to society.

@11:45 AM
One of the major High Costs of Low Prices is that Walmart and Amazon employees qualify to use government benefits to subsidize their low wages. Meanwhile Bezos and the Waltons are more rich than most other humans in history!

In other news, food prices continue to skyrocket. I wonder why!

SNAP and TANF are two different programs run through MDHS.

SNAP is the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. Think food stamps. This is the program that loads EBT cards.

TANF is the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families. It is many things but can be a direct cash payment.

TANF has a broader scope than food.

As long as Uncle Sam is sending billions overseas to countries for who knows what, I hope they give our citizens here $1000 per family, per month.

As long as they send billions of dollars of military equipment overseas with new contracts to replace it, I hope they send $2000 to every family, per month.

The damn federal government has made a believer out of me. They are going to give it away or waste it somehow. I would rather see our citizens get it.

If you don't have a problem with them sending money and billions of dollars in military equipment overseas, but you have a problem with what little the citizens get, you love your government, but not your country.

These MOFO's about to make a democrat out of me with all these handouts.

2:16pm, I love my country but as a hard working tax paying US citizen, I’m against all the gov’t spending you describe. Honest working tax paying US citizens are tired of getting fucked by their own government every pay period and every April 15th. STOP ALL GOV’T SPENDING and let the people who WORK keep their own money! If you don’t work, are broke and starve, that’s your problem, get a fucking job and stop being a freeloader.

"I remember the good old days when we had low gas prices, low inflation, low food prices, low energy bills, and secure borders, Unfortunately, that all ended on January 20 2021"

More of LBJ's great society, but pretty soon the government will run out of other people's money.

You poor thing, I guess you're the only one to pay taxes.

You can't comprehend what you read? I don't need anything from you. I've probably paid more in taxes than you'll make in your lifetime.

You bitching at me on a comment board isn't going to stop the government from taking the fruits of your labor. It's nothing but a scam to rob you, and me. The money collected from income taxes doesn't even service the interest on the debt.

The money is manufactured from thin air, there's nothing backing it up. It's called the petro dollar for a reason, because the world oil trade is conducted in the dollar.

China, India, Russia, and more countries are working to change that. When it happens, and it will happen, you will see the end of the American empire.

You need to see how the rest of the world hates our government. That's right, they hate the bullying, bribing, corrupting, black mailing US government.

Over 200 years it took to accumulate a $10T national debt. Less than 15 to add over $20T more! John Kerry thanked the American people for supporting the Great Reset by voting for Joe Biden, but I've yet to meet a brain-damaged libtard who ever even heard of the Great Reset! Mention one of Klaus Schwab's books on the subject or one of Kerry's speeches and the response is "conspiracy theory". Let the idiots die in their misery. Its their destiny.

4:25 - Like Kingfish, you both ought to state to whom you refer when you post in retaliation instead of throwing up a comment out of nowhere, directed nowhere in particular.

Meanwhile: Who cares about the miniscule differences between TANF and SNAP? They both simply replace other acronyms that were wasteful programs which encourage sloth and non-existent family units.

I hope Brett Nancy and Feel get an increase it is hard to live on $94 million with all this inflation thing going on.

Brother, they can call it anything they like. If these soul less psychopaths can implement even half of their plans, we can stick our heads between our legs, and kiss our ass goodbye.

Even I shake my head in disbelief of a plan this devious, and this size. That disbelief, fades away, when you read over, and over, their own words.

When someone tells you over and over what their intentions are, you better believe they plan to do it. In their eyes, we are something that is no longer needed. May GOD have mercy on us.

Complaining Karens here should invest their moan and groan energy to grow some of their own food, bake some of their own bread, etc.

Chicken costs are astronomical but baking a raw chicken, then making stock from its pot juice, skin and bones is healthy and practical.

As a girl, my grandmother lived on a ranch so beef was cheap and they only had chicken for special occasions. As hominids, we are evolved to think creatively and adapt to changing circumstances.

Nevertheless, some want our brain dead fool of a president to make us dependent slaves suckling thin gray milk from the withered teats of the federal bureaucracy.

Most folk talk shit about assistance until they need it!

Am I the only one a bit startled that the provided chart includes up to 25 individuals in a single household?

Where I come from, they say, if the shoe fits, wear it.

It must have hit you in some kind of way, or you wouldn't have responded the way you did. Maybe you should find the other shoe, also.

Besides, I post like I'm using a shotgun. I make a lot of hits, but you can't say I'm singling you out. Well, you kind of did, but you can't prove it. What exactly did you like about the post? Everything? Go on, admit it, you liked it.

Mississippi, the fattest hungry population in the US.

@7:21 PM
Look up Kiryas Joel, NY. It’s the city with the most per capita welfare recipients in the USA! The women are all homemakers raising kids and none of the men have paying jobs. They all just study religious texts and debate one another all day.

Well, let's see here, the federal government has only been working this income tax scam for a little over 100 years. It's probably coming to an end any day now.

You know this government is only looking out for your best interest. They only tax everything because it's good for you, citizen.

I'm so tired of extremist liberals that say things like, "Most folk talk shit about assistance until they need it!"

Stop speaking in such absolutes.

Most people that I know are in favor of assistance when based in actual need.

Also, most people that I know who are on assistance don't have fact-based needs that could not be fixed by being less fact-based lazy asses.

"Meanwhile: Who cares about the miniscule differences between TANF and SNAP? They both simply replace other acronyms that were wasteful programs which encourage sloth and non-existent family units."

People who can read and think.
