I’m fine with a safety net for the truly needy, but human greed is real and people find ways to take advantage of the system. It’s not simply booting people off, it’s putting in guardrails to protect what a just society empathetically provides for those who need it.
That’s the nuance that gets left out…especially since the (((left))) owns so much of the narrative. Nobody wants disabled grandma to starve, regardless of the hyperbolic framing that CNN does. We just want and need logic directing the framework to be updated to account for the fraud and abuse that’s creeped in.

Valid points. SNAP is supposed to be a safety net for the truly needy. While I disagree with the need for the FEDERAL government running a program like this, I can understand and accept it if the states want to implement such a system.
Much of what’s done at the federal level should be managed by states…. Completely agree with you on that one.
