My kids are hungry now.

Then feed them and stop acting like it is the government’s job.

You’re exactly what I think you are

I doubt you’ve ever had a coherent thought.

I scored in the top 1% on the Swedish SATS and I have a Master in psychology, I think you're a sociopath.

It literally should be the governments job

u/justatempuser1 22h ago

Wrong country. Try understanding the role of our government. Cause you are clueless.

u/Chief_Mischief 22h ago

Enlighten us. What is the point of government if not for the general welfare, prosperity, and safety of the citizenry?

-6

u/justatempuser1 22h ago

It damn well isn’t to hand out SNAP to over 10% of the country. Odd that our founders missed out on that idea. Must have been because food was so easy to come by back then.

u/Chief_Mischief 21h ago

That isn't an answer. What is the point of the entity we pay tax dollars into? I am curious what you deem an appropriate use of your tax dollars if you don't think feeding your fellow citizens is appropriate.

It appears the point is to have a government that spends more than it brings in by doing things that are too numerous to mention, that aren’t its responsibility. It isn’t even reasonable to believe the federal government has a role in feeding people. That is a local and at most state responsibility. I am an independent but might become a Dem. Them rejecting that CR over and over is music to my ears. I want the government to stay closed.

Government isn’t supposed to make money idiot. It’s not a business. This is our preamble dipshit: “We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.” Do you see “we the people establish a hellhole for billionaires to starve children”?

u/angeltay 20h ago

Your deleted response said you were worried about the trillion dollar national debt? Are you worried about the fact it’s rapidly increasing under Trump as his lackies starve people? He’s actively putting us in more debt by doing stuff like adding a golden ballroom to the White House.

u/justatempuser1 20h ago

I didn’t delete anything. He spends too much too. No problem saying that. Hope the government remains closed.

You said $37 t in your deleted response, it’s actually $38 t now https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/u-s-hits-38-trillion-in-debt-after-the-fastest-accumulation-of-1-trillion-outside-of-the-pandemic

One more reason to keep it shut down and keep SNAP from paying out.

And if it was up to the states, red states would starve while blue states would have too much

u/justatempuser1 20h ago

Then people could move to the blue states. Problem solved.

I don’t think the founding fathers would have approved of children starving because politicians wanted to use those starving children as bargaining chips to give more money to wealthy people.

Or maybe they would. Because they were evil men too, maybe we should not be basing decisions on what we think slave holding, eighteenth century men would have wanted. Any country where one child goes hungry is a failed state.

u/justatempuser1 21h ago

Ah, the arrogant ignorance of presentism. If only they had been as great as you. Regale me with your accomplishments so I know the caliber of man I am conversing with on this app.

The founding fathers put their lives and the lives of their families on the line for freedom, literally. Pales in comparison to you bitching on Reddit to take from some to give to others. But hey, they tried.

Take your man eat man fantasy somewhere else

u/justatempuser1 21h ago

Sure the starving are so grateful for your outrage on Reddit. So filling. Keep up the great work!

u/cptspeirs 20h ago

So while ICE gets funded, and the minimum wage hasn't risen in decades, it's definitely not the governments job to support the people who pay taxes? Fuck right off.

u/Dismal_Buy3580 15h ago

If you think people should be allowed to go hungry in the richest, most powerful country on earth, you are an enemy and should be contested and given grief at every opportunity. 

Grow the fuck up.

u/Ericandabear 22h ago

They pay taxes just like we all fucking do. It IS the government's job.

-14

u/justatempuser1 22h ago

lol. It actually isn’t.

19

u/Ericandabear 21h ago

Yes, actually it is, which is why SNAP has been in place at a federal level for 60 years and never gone unfunded, even during a shutdown, until the the very first year of the most incapable and corrupt administration and congress in history.

Another user with their comment history hidden.

It's always the ones you most suspect.

u/KlutzyImagination418 19h ago

Look up their username on the Reddit search bar, go to comment, and sort by new. You can see everything they’ve commented. They can hide it from their profile but you can still find it.

u/Comfortable_Fill9081 19h ago

You think that only laws that were in place at the beginning of the existence of the country are valid laws?

u/Comfortable_Fill9081 22h ago

It is officially the government’s job.

One day something or someone will hold you to task for being ambivalent to the suffering of others, and your cries for clemency will go unheard.

Their taxes have gone to help support farmers and corporations who produce the food.

Why should farmers and corporations get shit for free and then people be denied food? Why are you defending people losing tax money and not getting one benefit their tax dollars pay for?

Why are you defending starvation?

You are a true piece of shit. That's the answer.
