Rename SNAP to Ukraine or Zelensky to get funding

[@merriemelodiesfan7425]

Not a smart move by the govt to get rid of SNAP benefits, let alone any benefits of any kind. People are getting jobs and have gotten jobs, but for some people stretching their paychecks isn't enough.

[@kellythomas90]

The gov. Wants us down that's one of their goals. NWO

The covid stipend they gave was 95 dollars for a single person. Then food went up by triple and they take it away instead of letting them keep it permanently. YET we send 500 MILLION to Ukraine! It is cruel.

The ending of free handout money helps to fight current high inflation. It also eases the difficulty for the small business to find their available workers.

[@cindyweir9645]

Tell me, do you call all the tax dollars we give the government a free hand out for the government. I’m 76 on Social Security and that extra $95 was important to me. So you think it’s OK to send billions of dollars to foreign countries for their military? Do you have a selfish spirit?

[@claudettes9697]

And you’re only talking about it now! 42 million ppl. This will not be deflationary.

It is punishment to know how and be willing to be self-reliant? Too many jobs are unfilled for there to be continued government assistance to people who can work.
