I think an epic move would be to cancel all snap profiles, and make everyone currently on snap, reapply for the program once the .gov reopens and then filter out the illegals.

Any illegal who is caught trying to apply immediately gets thrown in the van and off to the deportations que.

Agreed, and make providing a valid SSN a requirement of re-enrollment.

My daughter is a licensed nutritionist/dietitian. She coaches SNAP recipients on how to cook nutritious meals from scratch to stretch their food dollars instead of eating unhealthy, high fat, high sodium prepared food. Many do not have the basic skills to do this and don't seem to have the interest in learning. People don't want to cook from scratch. How do you deal with an unmotivated portion of the population? This is a basic survival skill.

I cooked a meal last night for a family member. They commented multiple times on how good it was or this was a real meal. This was nothing special but included meat and potatoes on the grill and veggies boiled in water. They thought it was so good becuase they assemble meals and do not cook from scratch. Everything is pulled from a bag, heated, and assembled. About 5-10 times a year a meal is cooked by them.
I stopped going to Tops because the SNAP people shopping there. Carts full of crap like pop and frozen pizzas. They would shop in droves and hand cards back and forth pooling resources. Took forever to check out.

People have confused and conflated everything as a right these days. Food, housing, health care and the list goes on Toni close a living wage. None of these are rights. I get where people say in a country such as ours people shouldn’t be dying of starvation on our streets. Some one recently posted saying there was 581,000 open jobs in NYS and I’ll bet that would handle a lot of the people on SNAP benefits. People fail to realize that much of this is because people do not want to better themselves and welfare is generational. You should not be able to be on welfare for life under a condition unless serve it physically or mentally disabled. I know people who could never work under any circumstance and I don’t mind helping them. Others should get a job. We have 4 people in our home and 6 jobs with two full time college students so it can be done.

I remember when the left would say "if you want to exercise your right to bear arms, then just join the military".

We could turn that around. "If you want the government to provide your food, shelter, and healthcare, join the military".

Or go back to your shithole and make it better, now that you see what can be done.

You let God sort them out. Horse to water...

With reports that sleepy joe's handlers were passing out SS numbers to illegals like dime bags at a drug party, even this would not solve the issue of whether a person is legit or not.

That sounds like the most soul crushing, meaningless job ever created.

I have mentioned this in the past. My brother would volunteer at a food bank . No one would take bags of dried beams . People would claim they did not know how to cook them I am sure if one was south of the border they would gladly take them ... Myself I can make a big pot of Chili and eat that for days pretty cheap, If one made their own bread ... You would eat like a king .

Great idea.

This is the problem unless she’s disabled. On food stamps for 30-years. I’ve never even been on unemployment for a day.

I know farmers who donate to food banks and most turn it away because it doesn’t move at the food banks

The People have become reliant on production foods, subsidies, provided services all to the point of unable to live without them. Let the internet and cell service drop for 12 hours and watch the confusion. Paper money? I’ll just swipe….until you can’t. Think ahead and have a contingency? Nutty talk.

I cooked an entire Thanksgiving meal this past weekend, stuffed 5 people and had 5 huge belly-busting leftover meals for the freezer. Turkey, mashed potatoes, butternut squash, stuffing, corn, asparagus, gravy.

I am pretty sure I spent no more than $25 on the entire meal. $11 for the turkey (bought it, along with 5 others, after last year's Thanksgiving). Maybe $1 for the potatoes (bought a 50lb bag for $17 this weekend). Squash was free from my garden. Stuffing, $2. Corn, $2. Gravy, $4. Dunno what the asparagus cost, let's say $5.

$25 for ten gut-busting meals of high-quality food.

Versus, what, a small frozen pizza and a 2-liter?
