Welfare queens should get nothing but rice, flour, and rolled oats.
And what I am saying is that those large corporations will not stand by and let themselves be cut out of their share of Uncle Sam's largess.no, i'm talkingabout restrictions on selections available to snap recipients. you;re off on a tangent..
i'll try and steer you back..
the narrow question is... do you think it appropriate to consider limiting snap recipients selections to wholesome selections such as fresh fruits, veggies, protiens, and limited selections of processed foods with some higher degree of nuritional value?
was to spam..Oh, got it, thanks. I couldn't tell if you were arguing in favor of the TP post about switching SNAP with food boxes or not. SNAP recipients are already limited (no alcohol, no paper products, no pet food, etc.), but I'm not sure how one would gauge "higher nutritional value, either absolutely, state-by-state, or seasonally, nor how one would assure that "higher nutritional value" foods are reasonably obtainable (i.e., available in nearby stores). I think everyone should eat nutritionally but I don't think not doing so is limited to those on SNAP.
thats great, so you wont answer my question, then..And what I am saying is that those large corporations will not stand by and let themselves be cut out of their share of Uncle Sam's largess.
Look the reality of the situation is that when those dollars actually end up in a bank account. SNAP is a corporate subsidy program, not a poor person subsidy program. Walmart made that clear a while back when they talked about how the program affects their bottom line.thats great, so you wont answer my question, then..
What exactly is the question you want me to answer ?thats great, so you wont answer my question, then..
You want them all to get diabetes, scurvy, and tooth decay?Welfare queens should get nothing but rice, flour, and rolled oats.
Rice, flour, and rolled oats are all good foods. But they have to be prepared and **** are lazy. They'd rather eat candy and chips all day. There's your diabetes and bad teeth.You want them all to get diabetes, scurvy, and tooth decay?
Bye spam.What exactly is the question you want me to answer ?
As I understand it, the proposal is to replace half of the amount with boxes of food, while keeping electronic cards for the other half. That's likely to drive of the price for the taxpayer, to provide the same basic level of service -- you wind up having to keep the whole expense of infrastructure for the electronic system, while also creating a secondary expense for a parallel food-transportation service, to get those shipments to people. And, from what I read, they are also going to require that the food be sourced from US providers, which will also add to the expense for the American taxpayer, since we won't be buying whatever's cheapest on the market, but instead sometimes buying things at inflated costs in order to provide a back-door subsidy to a Republican constituency.Blacks and illegals are gonna howl. They love to spend YOUR money on junk food and other luxuries.
I don't know.. but Amazon can manage to do it with billions of products a day and get most of it to you in two days with enough of a profit margin that you don't even pay for shipping.What would be the costs associated with sourcing, packaging, and shipping those foodstuffs? How would the Government ensure the packages were delivered, and received, by the intended recipients? Will seasonal fresh fruits and vegetables be included? What about food allergies - would a family have the flexibility to exchange peanut butter, for example, for another protein source?
Have distribution centers and insist the welfare queens take a bus and pick up their monthly box of food.I don't know.. but Amazon can manage to do it with billions of products a day and get most of it to you in two days with enough of a profit margin that you don't even pay for shipping.
So why could our Gov't.. who is so efficient, good, and productive - not manage to get a few boxes of food out the door every week?
1.)Amazon isn't making profits off retailing. The profits from their cloud services subsidize the rest of the businessI don't know.. but Amazon can manage to do it with billions of products a day and get most of it to you in two days with enough of a profit margin that you don't even pay for shipping.

Hugs for ThugsWhat is what selections should be limited to? Sorry, I didn't understand your post; just asking for clarification.
Potatoes, Not Potato ChipsWas that in reply to me?
So how do you (or the TP if you're not supporting this) think that the cost of apportioning fresh fruits and alternative protein sources to individual by-family boxes, via shipping (and keeping fresh), and distribution - and the associated cost of labor, trucks and airplanes, and delivery persons - compares with cutting a check?
So, replace the money flowing into local economies with communist economy?Welfare queens should get nothing but rice, flour, and rolled oats.
Since no the gov't is not making a profit off of this - it can run at a loss. Its still better than putting profits in the walton's pockets.1.)Amazon isn't making profits off retailing. The profits from their cloud services subsidize the rest of the business
2.)Amazon's food delivery is currently fledgling at best. Their food prices aren't all that good and their selection is limited.
3.)Blue Apron is a closer analogy to what to Trump is proposing. Blue Apron is hemorrhaging money and customers.
4.)The government will remain efficient by just handing the Poors a debit card with money to buy food instead of creating a new government office devoted to coming up with diet plans. Let the poor's figure the logisitics that out themselves.
Michelle Obama should love it...... that would be on par with her school lunch programBlacks and illegals are gonna howl. They love to spend YOUR money on junk food and other luxuries.
