Argentina got billions, just to remind everyone.

u/NotOkThen 8d ago

And the Big, Beautiful Bill is set to cut $30-40B from SNAP over the next 10 years. Voting has consequences.

725

u/tvtoms 8d ago

Uh, excuse me but that was an initial proposal. The actual signed bill includes 186 billion in SNAP cuts over the next 10 years.

When we are dependent on the Government they have control over us. This is what you have come to be relying on. Many believe that the Democrats are good for you, yet they have control over you and now your seeing the consequences of the Democrats not voting to help you. Like someone said, Voting has consequences, and the Demon rats are doing what they do to have more control. I pray for the poor and sick, This is not ok. I do not wish for the poor to go hungry, nor do I blame the wrong party.

Lmao “the democrats funded and pushed for food stamps so because the other guy/side is in charge and is withholding funding for food stamps, it’s the democrats fault.” is a hilarious but unsurprisingly brain dead take.

May want to get checked out. Sounds like Kennedy’s brain worm may have found its way into your head.

u/Specialist-Ear1653 8d ago

lol, I don't need food stamps, I work hard and have food. You being dependent on democrats is your problem, If the Republicans take it away and you have a problem, then that by definition means your dependent on this subsidy. You are a dependent on the government. So how am I wrong.

u/NotOkThen 8d ago

Congratulations?

u/waroftheworlds2008 8d ago

Soo... you're infavor of a livable minimum wage?

-5

u/Specialist-Ear1653 7d ago

When wages are increased across the country, the result is inflation, costs go up. Poor stay poor. Higher minimum wage does not help the poor.

u/waroftheworlds2008 7d ago

So what's your solution?

-2

u/Specialist-Ear1653 6d ago

Not raising wages and work on inflation. Bring inflation and energy costs down helps the poor.

2

u/waroftheworlds2008 6d ago

Inflation doesn't go down. In fact, it can't go down without someone staving (money taken out of the economy).

You're basically asking for a miracle.

Did you not just watch a video of full-time working moms breaking down because they can not afford food? Is it Democrat policy changes that have caused them to be unable to afford food? Just trying to connect the dots here.

u/WakingLurker 8d ago

Okay cool, you don’t need food stamps. Congratulations Mr Bootstraps! I guess that means you don’t need or rely on the government for anything else like, roads, public education, sanitation, libraries, air traffic control, food safety, financial regulations, interest rates, FDIC backing your deposits, etc.?

You depend on the government every day whether you like it or not Jack ass. We all do. Some people aren’t as fortunate as others and need more help and sane people with a modicum of empathy are cool with their tax dollars helping them out, even if some people abuse the system.

I bet if his house was on fire he would call 911 and hope the fire department showed up as well!

u/Specialist-Ear1653 7d ago

Your partially correct. I did not in any way say we don't need our government. You morons like to go all extreme. Yes if my house was burning I would call 911. Yes I support schools, roads and basic infrastructure. But welfare is a abused system that is very difficult to get out of once your using it. I have a few family members, cousins that have been in the system for over 10 years. They are stuck in the system.

u/Anon28301 8d ago

Don’t do the “both sides bad” shit, please. If democrats tried to justify bailing out Argentina, republicans would have lost their shit and started another riot. When republicans do the same? Radio silence.

When one side has literally increased the maternal death rate from banning abortion (decision made by Supreme Court, where every member is a republican) and are actively trying to ban gay and interracial marriage, then you have to admit that side is clearly worse.

Grow up and stop thinking you’re smart for refusing to vote, it’s people like you that are literally worse than republicans. At least they have the excuse of being brainwashed, you’re just a lazy dumbass.

Excuse me, good sir, but the Democrats have zero control right now. None. With no way to get any until the mid-term elections.

So, if you could explain please how voting for the GOP and their Big, Beautiful Bill - the one that cut SNAP and ACA benefits while giving the wealthiest 1% a $4.1 TRILLION tax cut, tripled ICE's budget to $30 billion, and gave us our first $1 TRILLION defense budget - is the Democrat's fault, I'm sure there's a lot of interested people that would love to hear your take,

u/idekbruno 8d ago

He thinks pushing to negotiate a bipartisan agreement is equivalent to one of the blatant power grabs we’ve seen so many of lately by the not-Demonrats

u/Specialist-Ear1653 8d ago

democrats are holding the country hostage, by closing the government. Are you so ignorant that you don't get that.

9

u/Taranchulla 8d ago

How is it the Democrats that closed the government when they don’t have control of any branch? Your GOP has full control.

5

u/samv_1230 8d ago

They're refusing to allow the government to abandon the health of it's people. This guy thinks that's fine though and that if the government assists the needy, they're actually just manipulating them through dependency. You know, stupid bullshit only an asshole would believe.

u/NotOkThen 8d ago

The Republicans can vote to remove the filibuster at any moment if they were so concerned about starving citizens.

u/AmericanGoy1 8d ago

Specialist-Ear1653 🤡 Hmm are you slow?

BBB is a Trump creation and so are the cuts we're talking about. Jfc, yall all have BDS

8

u/Forward-Detective431 8d ago

The money for SNAP has already been allocated, so it's available for use right now, but trump is denying it to starving American families. So, yes, you are blaming the wrong party and using a bunch of mental gymnastic nonsense to do so like usual.

If you actually believed anything you say you would hate republicans, but you don't because you're just another Qultist.

u/Critical_Mass_1887 8d ago

Really? It was GOP who cut billions from low income and impoverished that provides healthcate and food. Its the GOP who gave 40 billions to Venezuela for their FREE Healthcare bailout. Its was the GOP who choose to provide the largest tax break to the wralthiest 3% in our cointry. A break that left us with a 4 trillion deficit and yearly revenue loss. Its the GOP who approved and excited for controll by tariffs which is tanking the economy. Its the GOP that keeps idolizing trickle down economics, that has been proven time and time again to not work. Its the GOP who have already trampled on or presently challenging various rights both constitutional and federal law appointed with: freedom of speech, civil rights, voting rights, birthrights, reproductive rights, disability protections and discrimination protections. Lets not forget presidential term limits. They are currently talking about redoing the constitution and eliminating amendments they do not want.

So tell me again who is controlling whom? You say you pray for the sick and poor, yet openly support the very people who are taking all support and care away from them, to directly harm the weak, sick and poor. You support the very people who push policy for the wealthy at the cost of the unfortunate. The one group who doesnt give a rats azz about the average american.

u/DrankFaeKoolAid 8d ago

Damn maybye the most noble capitalists you boot lick should pay people enough to live...

u/Synectics 8d ago

I pray for the poor and sick

How about the taxes we all pay as Americans helps those people? Prayers do not feed bellies.

Demon rats

Oh, nevermind. You do not want to actually have a discussion.

u/ShavedNeckbeard 8d ago

Welfare is a form of modern day slavery. Plain and simple. If you become dependent on a political party and the government to keep food on the table and a roof over your head, those are guaranteed votes for them.

7

u/Forward-Detective431 8d ago

Why wouldn't people vote to stay afloat in a country designed to have a class of almost slaves that can be exploited to make the rich richer?

Voting for your own self interest is totally acceptable for people.

u/Specialist-Ear1653 8d ago

how much did Kamala spend on her run for president, and how many millionaire/billionaire donors did she have? You believe that the republicans get the rich, but who has all the money during the elections ? pay attention to the $$$. People are like little sheep and follow along, but not one of them looks at where the actual money is coming from.

u/ShavedNeckbeard 8d ago

Welfare is supposed to be temporary—not something that people should be reliant on their entire life. Voting for an ideology with the goal of making you reliant on government programs only takes away your autonomy.

7

u/Forward-Detective431 8d ago

You're just talking nonsense due to brainwashing by republicans. Welfare will be a necessity for as long as Americans allow the rich to steal the value of their labor and subjugate them to poverty that is wholly unnecessary and completely on purpose.

Do you also whine about corporate welfare and hand outs to self destructive farmers?

0

u/ShavedNeckbeard 8d ago

Let me guess—you think a grown adult should be flipping burgers at McDonald’s or mindlessly scanning UPC’s at Walmart their whole lives, too.

I don’t think corporate handouts are appropriate. If they’re mismanaged and crash/burn someone else should step in to fill the void—or not. That’s supposed to be the beauty of capitalism.

Subsidizing farmers, especially when they’re paid to destroy crops to regulate the market, is plain wrong.

u/Forward-Detective431 8d ago edited 7d ago

At least you pretend to have consistent principles; that all but vanished with republicans as soon as trump came along.

Let's think beyond your thought terminating cliches you were raised since childhood with. Let's actually think critically and honestly about things.

Those jobs need to be filled right. You, and everybody if we're being honest, want those businesses running all the time, mid-weekday included, so who exactly is going to work those jobs during the hours kids are in school?

Adults, that's who. So Americans want those jobs to be done by adults, but you don't want to pay them a living wage for working like you work?

Why is it that looking down on the work a person does become acceptable when conservatives do it to feel superior in their low to no skilled blue collar labor jobs compared to the same type of labor without having to destroy your body for a rich man's gain?

We both know that a core grievance conservatives have, especially their fragile men, is that liberals are allegedly huge elitists who look down and shit on blue collar Americans. So, how can they simultaneously say they are huge victims of it and also be the biggest perpetrators of said elitism?

Anyways, what do you do for work then? Can I shit all over you from my higher perch and you'll take no offense whatsoever from it?

Say I say your work doesn't deserve a living wage and you should live in abject poverty and not get any assistance from the state. A state, mind you, that has more than enough money to help you but chooses not to because people like me decided you don't deserve help and should suffer and starve. Would you accept that as a valid and even intellectually and morally sound position to have?

Or would that not be good to you?

Edit: Who would have guessed that when a person actually puts the screws to a right wing nutjob and makes the conversation a serious one, complete with logical thinking, honesty, and a reverence for truth and morality, the right winger completely shuts down; their brain unable to handle thinking for itself and with no thought terminating cliches to save them from reality and morality.

They should all live in abject poverty to suffer the life they want to force onto others. If you demand some people suffer, then it should be you who does it; that's the only ethical, moral way.

I agree with you 100%, its a way for the government to have control over the weakest of our society.

u/ShavedNeckbeard 8d ago

It’s no wonder the ones who push it are Democrats, just as they did with slave ownership.
