Who the fuck has time or energy to not only pay attention to the stuff in other peoples’ baskets much less how they are paying for the stuff.

Wow! Talk about penny wise, pound foolish... Do the fools realize that if they keep this up SNAP users will be costing taxpayers a lot more in health care costs? Poor diet = heart disease, diabetes, cancer, etc.

Dear Representative Brattin:

This kind of thing is exactly why I’m so paranoid about my disability status. Anywhere I have to comment with my full name (like on FB), I avoid even implying that I might ever be capable of getting out of bed or god forbid, spending money on something other than food or shelter. What if the government finds out I…

When republicans write these bills I wish that democrats would put in amendments restricting the meals of politicians to McDonald’s Dollar Menu.

Jesus Fucking Christ! That piece of shit has 100% never EVER seen anyone buy lobster or filet mignon with an EBT card. How the fuck would he know it was EBT??? You don’t even have to tell anyone anything anymore. You run the EBT card like any other card. Fucking-fucker-fuck-head-liar!!! I have never had to use SNAP…

“I have seen people purchasing filet mignons and crab legs with their EBT cards,” he said.

What a timid turd.

““When I can’t afford it on my pay, I don’t want people on the taxpayer’s dime to afford those kinds of foods either.”

Flash forward to a Missouri in ten years where this actually passed:

The thing about these stupid food stamps police is this, if you spend the money on steak, shrimp, lobster what have you, you don’t get to go up to the food stamp office and get more, your allowance for the month is spent. Period. So what if someone buys some steak? Which piece? Some of those tough ass pieces cost more…

In Alaska, you can get crab legs for $6.99/lb., but it’s your paycheck to buy a friggin’orange...this guy is as stupid as he is vicious and mean.

Does this guy realize that long-term, a diet of really cheap food (no steak or seafood, as he’s suggesting), leads to serious, serious anemia? My wife and I were food insecure for a while and so in winter 2013, I would have some days where, not knowing why, I was too weak to work out, stand up in class, or on one or…

Someone needs to hand him a copy of Hand to Mouth by Linda Tirado and force him to read it, especially the chapter on THIS VERY THING and how it’s a massive lie.

Never mind that SNAP benefits are a finite amount per household per month; people using their benefits to buy crab legs or whatever (who I assume don’t actually exist outside this guy’s mind) then probably don’t eat for the rest of the month.

fuck poor people. I mean, it's not like they're real human people with human bodies that require more than cheap processed food to function. fuck their dignity too- how dare they sometimes maybe treat themselves with a nice meal like an actual human being.

Oh SNAP something telling me this will be WICked :(

You know the United States has hit a new low when legislators feel entitled to decide what people who are struggling economically get to eat. When you think about it, they are getting paid hundreds of thousands of dollars to eat ‘fancy steak and lobster’ while barely even working. I have a strong sense that if…
