DOES ANYONE ELSE SEE A PROBLEM with Republicans pating themselves on the back for exempting Veterans from their new means testing?

Why are ANY veterans on Food Stamps? 🤨 😞

: & Spkr claim on programs lift people out of . Is that true? No. A study of when Virginia added work requirements to in '13: there was 53% reduction in participation, but the effects on were "not statistically different from zero."

I am about to have my first meal of the day. It’s very likely going to be a meal mug full of oatmeal. About one meal a day is a mug of oatmeal for me. Another meal might be some fish sticks and another meal… maybe some tuna and mayo with seasonings or a simple bun with some jam and cream cheese.

That’s all I can afford anymore with the cuts & price increases.

Imagine thinking that taking someone’s oatmeal breakfast away from them will somehow balance the federal budget.

ON A ROLL.

Just reapplied for . I was denied in November of 2022 because I am a and don't work more than 20 hours/week, but I just read that the COVID eligibility expansion means that's not actually a requirement through June 10, 2023. Not sure if it'll work this time, but if it does, could get me up to a year of ~$200/month toward food! 🤞

I wonder if the folks who insist on cutting food stamps could subsist on my diet. I know there are claims that people on food stamps have extravagant meals. Meals like a mug of oatmeal or a bowl of tuna with mayo. Or my favourite - fish sticks heated in the oven. I know some might scoff at the opulence of these meals, but the truth is that I am one grocery order short of being able to properly feed myself each month and it affects my physical and mental health.
