DEFEAT FASCISM

 In 2024, an estimated 41.7 million Americans were receiving food stamps, also known as Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits. This represents approximately 12.3% of theU.S. population.

Let’s suppose, just for fun, that someone on high directs us to find ways to reduce this number.

A Christian (one of the old love and grace ones, not one from a cult spreading a scorched-earth spirituality) might say, “Care and assistance,” then quote the Gospel of Matthew Chapter 25, verses 31-46.

A Capitalist might say, “Make them work,” although many do already and some are too young, except in my state where child labor is allowed.

A Teacher might say, “Education.”

A Sociologist might say, “Address the root causes of poverty.”

A Labor Organizer might say, “Address income inequality.”

A Billionaire might say, “Cut my taxes and I will help a bit.”

In the end, though, a psychopathic narcissist who became a millionaire when the doctor slapped him on his ass will say, “Cut the SNAP program out. That will get the number down.”
