House Republican Tells Food Stamp Recipients, ‘Stop Smoking Crack’

Rep. Clay Higgins (R-LA) has little sympathy for millions of Americans whose food assistance benefits are set to lapse on Nov. 1.

“There are 22 million American households receiving SNAP benefits for groceries, at $4200 per year on average,” he wrote. “Try to get your head wrapped around how many pantries you can stock with $4200 dollars in properly shopped groceries. Any American who has been receiving $4200 dollars per year of free groceries and does NOT have at least 1 month of groceries stocked should never again receive SNAP, because wow, stop smoking crack.”

See? According to this Shiny, and plenty of others I have heard over the years, including Milton Friedman, being poor is entirely, in every case, a result of poor personal choices. Not the government's fault, so the government has no obligation to bail you out, they insist....of course, Argentina is a totally different case.

Sir Humphrey weighs in.
