USDA Secretary Brooke Rollins said on X that "we're getting closer to closing a loophole that qualifies people for SNAP benefits who drive luxury vehicles like Bentlys, Lamborghinis, and Ferraris."

I'm MAGA and everything, but this sounds wrong. Someone could have a lot of money one day, and be broke the next. It's common. And where does she come up with those brand names? A Jeep Grand Cherokee is a very luxurious and expensive vehicle. Why isn't it on the list also?

I don't blame people who receive food stamps for anything, and I don't judge them either. I was briefly on food stamps back around 2001 and I thought it was great, but was making $6.25 per hour working part time. Nobody said "You have Nike sneakers and a Roche Bobois sofa, so you can't be hungry."

She should focus on fraud and lose the jealousy over people who own fancy things.

I think you missed something here.

They are saying that they want to close a loophole where people who don't need SNAP can get SNAP.

Someone could have a
lot of money one day, and be broke the next. It's common. And where
does she come up with those brand names? A Jeep Grand Cherokee is a

I remember a long time ago, seeing a news broadcast where they were outside one of the gov't food distribution centers. Someone in a big, nice, new car pulls up. Sheh gets out, wearing a fur coat. Goes into the Center, gets her gov't food, then proceeds to toss it in the trash as she exits.

When asked why she did that, she responded that she was entitled to it but didn't want it.

Those are the people Rollins is after.

If someone has money, but spends it unwisely, that's not society's problem. Let them sell their nice car and fur coat first. Then they can qualify for SNAP.

I did and I would be right. I've seen too many people make bad decisions (i.e. choosing to go drinking instead of using that money for food) and then wanting the taxpayers to help them.

Remember that the Lord helps those who help themselves.

fancy things.

If someone who can afford a fancy car is getting SNAP, she is focusing on the fraud.

The food stamp system should be reformed altogether. Maybe let someone have $100 worth of food in an emergency situation, if they qualify, but not on a monthly basis. One time deal: here's $100. Get a sandwich, and get a job.

It's too much work to find out what material possessions they own, when they obtained them, what they cost, and how much they can sell them for.

She ought to simplify the problem instead of complicating it more.

Then he should sell one of his cars to eat... It is an asset... So if someone is worth 300 million in cars and what not should get welfare??

He needs to Strip and do unmentionable things like the rest of the world.

Suppose a lady marries a guy who gives her a $100,000 wedding ring. Then he loses his job, and they apply for food stamps. Should the social worker notice that she's wearing a huge diamond ring and say "Well maam, we're gonna have to get that ring appraised before we approve your food stamp application?"

She ^^^--- That lady needed 20 bucks for something. She went into
Walmart and bought a sh!t load of soda and went out side and started pouring out the soda to get the 10 cent return on the bottle so that she could get the 20 bucks. She was filmed doing it... and that was posted and it went viral.

That's funny! Of course we can't blame her, it's the system that's letting it happen. That's just like the alkies who used to use a $1 food stamp to buy a 25 cent snack, and end up with 75 cents in coin (which could then be used to buy beer.)

To me it seems hard to calculate how much the assets are worth, especially the cars, and especially for a social worker to figure out

I don't think you need to... If you are living in a "Normal" house with your family, Ur good to go. If you live large like Barry and Mike...
You know "normal"

Social workers can probably find out if a person lives in a luxury home by requesting their property tax receipts, or if they have a luxury car by looking at their vehicle registrations.

I live on a street with 99% extremely poor people (run down houses, plywood windows, condemned meth labs, crack houses, kids with no shoes ripping down street signs, people scavenging through the trash, etc.) But there's a person who lives a few houses down who has a Tesla (no garage though.)

Only in America can you go from humble places to being rich... Keep the faith.

If I had $37,000 the first thing I'd do is move out of this neighborhood, but not everyone sees it that way I guess. The guy's house is not the prettiest either. It looks like it used to have a store front but they filled it in with bricks.

Who know... If it was an article you were referring to... But I think I saw what you were referring to HUD Secretary booted 100s of thousands of Illegals out of housing... And all the other stuff we've been talking about.

Trump is trying to put Americans first...

If the Illegals loose welfare and free health care they might start self deporting.

Sorry, I was referring to the guy who lives on my sh~tty street but owns a Tesla.

Kicking illegals out of public housing sounds like a good idea to me though. There are plenty of Americans who need and deserve it.

This will lighten the mood a bit... I saw a meme, and it had to be because it was technically in accurate, none the less I want top share it with you.

Monica Lewinsky is on a beach in a blue dress and she found some randomly arranged stones that said 6942.

Technically it wasn't a 69 but rather a 68 because I think Bill owes her 1.
