High #Inflation for basic goods in #Italy? Government solution appears to be a farce: 382 euros to be spent in a year (1 euro per day)! and only for families of three in poverty. See details here: https://www.ilsole24ore.com/art/social-card-ecco-lista-23-voci-cibi-che-si-possono-acquistare-AFeC3WD?refresh_ce=1 #economy #society #poverty #postfascists #food #foodstamps #underserved #restauration

These benefits are distributed via debit cards - #EBTCards - that lack the basic security measures every other kind of card has had for years. They're simple magstripe cards, lacking basic #ChipAndPin defenses, to say nothing of contactless countermeasures.

That means that fraudsters can - and do - install #skimmers in the point-of-sale terminals used by benefits recipients to withdraw their cash benefits, pay for food using #SNAP (AKA #FoodStamps), and receive other benefits.

#Debtceiling #hypocrisy: #US boosts #militarybudget while restricting #foodstamps for #poor

The legislation, which was publicly released Sunday evening, accomplishes much for President #Biden & House Speaker #KevinMcCarthy, enabling both to tout a victory that appeared elusive just days ago.

For Biden, the deal avoids the headache of another #DebtCeiling debate this term, while staving off Republican demands for steep cuts to #DomesticSpending. McCarthy gets a deal that curtails #FederalSpending & increases some work requirements in #FederalAid programs, such as #FoodStamps.

#Biden, #McCarthy reach #DebtCeiling deal to avoid default

Top leaders in both parties reached a long-sought deal on Saturday to avoid an unprecedented government default, announcing an agreement on a plan to lift the debt ceiling for two years and apply new caps on federal spending over the same duration.

The agreement also increases the age at which recipients of #FoodStamps must seek work to be eligible for the benefits, from 49 to 54 — a key request of Republicans.

Some days I think cruelty has been valorized in America and it makes me sick.

So Iowa isn't just a #ForcedBirth state, it's a state where children are now to be starved, literally. The state legislature has just authorized an $18m project to kick people off of #SNAP (aka #FoodStamps). 270,000 people in Iowa rely on SNAP: elderly people, disabled people, and parents who can't feed their kids.

Those moms are less likely to advance professionally, have lower lifetime earnings, and a higher likelihood of in adequate pension savings.

Universal childcare is the *only* way to guarantee a living wage to childcare *workers*, who are disproportionately likely to rely on public assistance, including #SNAP (AKA #FoodStamps) to make ends meet. These stressors affect childcare workers' job performance, and also generate public expenditures to keep those workers fed and housed.

In the #debtceiling fight, the GOP is now committed to cutting programs like #Medicaid and #FoodStamps that benefit Republican voters more than they benefit Democratic voters. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/03/27/briefing/gop-republican-spending-cuts.html

7 out of 10 Americans support permanent expansion of the SNAP program.

So I just found out that my food stamps were canceled and nobody notified me? No letter, phone call, or email from MDHHS. Wtf I sent them everything they asked for? #foodstamps #mdhhs #michigan #groceries

"A gallon of milk, a dozen eggs, a loaf of bread, a pound of chicken: That may be all the #groceries some #Californians can buy each month with their #CalFresh benefits now that emergency federal pandemic funds that boosted food benefits have ended."

💡#FoodStamps 🇺🇸 La fin des prestations améliorées des bons d'alimentation pourrait peser sur les ventes des supermarchés 🇺🇸 . Les prestations du #SNAP (yc allocations d'urgence) représentaient 12,3% des ventes au détail d'aliments en 2022 vs 7,1 % en 2019

Pretty sure this is being aimed at #GOP congressfolk looking for excuses to cut #FoodStamps, not to normal #WSJ subscribers.
