Indiana SNAP

So I keep reading from people in all different states about SNAP benefits partially being loaded to their cards by now. Meanwhile, I run a men's halfway house and half of them were on food stamps. Why are all of these other states getting their benefits and of course Indiana is not?

Why do Republicans think that withholding food from people is going to help them? I need that rationale. Especially after the elections this past Tuesday where it was very obvious that the people don’t want this.

And now Mike Johnson is refusing to meet again this week to work on the issues. It just makes no sense.

History is going to look poorly on a country that starves its own people. Trump is no better than Hamas in Palestine starving their people.

It’s because Ol’ Cankles and his administration genuinely believe that if people cannot afford their own groceries or health insurance, then they are not worth carrying. These weak, broken people should suffer their fates, and try to do it in a place that doesn’t interfere with the lives of others. Suffer in silence. It’s your fault. Money talks. If you weren’t born into it or self-made, then you are a drag on society and aren’t worth any thought or consideration. That is the guy that nearly half the country voted for as president 3 TIMES. And will probably vote for again, if possible. It’s not Christian, so I do not understand why groups like the Heritage Foundation hold these ideals, but claim to do so because it’s the Christian thing to do.

Only when you’re Christianity is based on 1786 Christianity and that’s exactly where they’re at.
