My solutions to the EBT/SNAP abuse scandal are simple and clear: - Shut it down - Require everyone to reapply for benefits - Restrict what can be purchased: ground beef, milk, eggs, fruits, vegetables. Basics only The result? Applications would plummet, and people would have no
@bennyjohnson @RobFinnertyUSA @grok Please tell me the total percentage of fraud in the snap program
@bennyjohnson @RobFinnertyUSA I have worked with families in crisis for many years. Some of these stereotypes and hardline opinions are gross. Yes, fraud needs to be addressed quickly and seriously. But don't dehumanize all people that need help. Not everyone on snap is a leftist, lazy or obese or cheating
@bennyjohnson @RobFinnertyUSA What about all the disabled people and the children who depend on it to feed themselves? What kind of Christian are you?
@bennyjohnson @RobFinnertyUSA Require drug testing or no benefits
@bennyjohnson @RobFinnertyUSA The solution is to let the states fund SNAP benefits for their state, themselves. People can vote on the criteria and live with what they choose.
@bennyjohnson @bequiababe2 @RobFinnertyUSA They need to shut it down, you should only be allowed to have a child if you make enough money to be self sufficient, Government help is good but only due short time then get off. Otherwise your just lazy and frankly a bum
@bennyjohnson @RobFinnertyUSA And in the meantime? Just let children, Elderly, veterans, disabled STARVE TO DEATH? REALLY?
@bennyjohnson @RobFinnertyUSA make so that anyone who is overweight cannot qualify?
@bennyjohnson @RobFinnertyUSA Common sense should prevail for all of these free programs!
@bennyjohnson @RobFinnertyUSA It should be more like the WIC program here in Texas. You get an approved list of items to purchase, it’s all fresh food and items that need to be cooked, nothing else is covered. If I can’t afford Doritos and ice cream w/ a job, I shouldn’t have to foot the bill for your crap
@bennyjohnson @RobFinnertyUSA My dad was blind and died when I was 12. I started working when I was 12. My Mom, me, and my little sister lived in a 8' wide 3 bedroom travel trailer. My Mom worked 2 jobs and we wore 2nd hand clothes or Pamida clearance clothes. We survived on white bread, ground beef, and
@bennyjohnson @RobFinnertyUSA A drug test would also make sense. I have to submit to one to work and that money somehow goes to people receiving SNAP.
@bennyjohnson @RobFinnertyUSA Pre packaged boxes of food. Staples. Milk, bread, meat, veggies.
@bennyjohnson @RobFinnertyUSA somethingmoresimple...if you had a vacation, or cable tv in the last two years....you get zero
@bennyjohnson @RobFinnertyUSA Candy, sugary drinks beyond a certain concentration how did those ever slip in to be considered food? I totally agree “Whole” Foods only unless their doctor requests they want foods that make them puffy.
@bennyjohnson @RobFinnertyUSA Control. Why do you want to control everyone and everything?
@bennyjohnson @RobFinnertyUSA I agree but don't stop there. Next go after multi generational welfare burden on tax payers!
@bennyjohnson @RobFinnertyUSA It's time!
@bennyjohnson @RobFinnertyUSA You mean like this:
@bennyjohnson @RobFinnertyUSA Socialist programs like SNAP and OBAMACARE have destroyed America. We must END ALL ENTITLEMENTS or America is finished
@bennyjohnson @FLPelusa17 @RobFinnertyUSA I agree Mr. Johnson.
@bennyjohnson @RobFinnertyUSA This man is going to save the world, one package of ground beef at a time. 🤣🤣🤣🤌🤌🤌 Calm down, bro. Little hungry children having a cookie are not your enemies. All the waste that goes on in this country, and this man is waging a war on a toddler with a popsicle. This is so
@bennyjohnson @RobFinnertyUSA Absolutely do not federalize this! Every time the government takes over the costs explode!
@bennyjohnson @RobFinnertyUSA Benny, this is a state issue and should not be considered at the Federal level. This goes for any welfare program.
@bennyjohnson @RobFinnertyUSA Disgusting creature. Inhumane MONSTER. RUSSIAN PUPPET
@bennyjohnson @RobFinnertyUSA Boo. No federalizing. Let the states fund their own
@bennyjohnson @RobFinnertyUSA Now do the taxpayer funded meals members of Congress receive. Taxes shouldn’t pay for food for anyone making at least $174,000 per year - which many are millionaires.
@bennyjohnson @RobFinnertyUSA Interesting take, Benny! How do you think these changes would impact local economies or small businesses that rely on SNAP purchases? Curious to hear your thoughts on potential ripple effects here.
@bennyjohnson @RobFinnertyUSA Well, some only have access to convenience stores. I would recommend using a 'grocery store distance from parcel ' metric. Only prohibit things like "snacks" and "desserts" outside of food deserts with a buffer for stragglers. Also, adjust for poverty tracts (less transport).
@bennyjohnson @RobFinnertyUSA Keep expanding the federal government until the people have nothing left but oligarchs. This is insanity.
@bennyjohnson @RobFinnertyUSA Yes, Let's do this I am on Social Security alone I get 1369 $ a month 1200$ a month is the max limit, so I get 23$ a month in SNAP but these cheaters get 4000$ a month... How? I used to get 268$ in SNAP in 21 but they cut me off in 22 How is that fair? The cheaters are selling
@bennyjohnson @RobFinnertyUSA The crazy thing is you have a lot of the food companies that sell junk food that are pushing for EBT to be expanded to everything from Coca-Cola to Oreo cookies. So we're also fighting against big AG so to speak and big food who will continue to push for more EBT and no
@bennyjohnson @RobFinnertyUSA They already took the junk food off! Best to do your research, BEFORE Broadcasting!
@bennyjohnson @RobFinnertyUSA You don't federalize it. You end it. Federalizing is a sure ticket to a bigger more out of control program. Private charity used to take care of this before big brother stepped in to take money from one and give to another. Private charity will do it better and cheaper.
@bennyjohnson @RobFinnertyUSA Great idea!!
