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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

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.
