Trumpedo, tonight, claiming that people figure they don't have to work because they can just get SNAP benefits instead: "People that are able-bodied can do a job, they leave their job because they figure they can pick this up, it's easier."
The average SNAP benefit is $187 per month. That's $6.17 per person per day.
Unfortunately, that was not the stupidest thing he said tonight.
Damn you people for re-electing this bloated anus.

You can count on the MAGA morons to be repeating Trump's idiocy as if it were the wisdom of the ages handed down from on high.

*blink*...didn't I just say, a few hours ago, that, the way his nibs is acting about SNAP, that might be his next thing to defund, so the money can be given to the "JCs"?

I did the math a few days ago. SNAP pays out $9B/month. Take that away from the Proles, and distribute that money among the 1000 richest, and it's a few million for each of them. That may only be "walking around" money, by itself, but add in the money taken away from people on ACA policies, and money taken away from defunding education, and some other things he has targeted, it starts to add up.
from the net sifter:
The phrase, "A billion here, a billion there, and pretty soon you're talking real money," is widely attributed to U.S. Senator Everett Dirksen, though there is no official record of him saying it. The quote is a colorful quip about the scale of federal spending and the idea that small additions of money, when accumulated, become a significant amount
Steve...so old he remembers when that phrase was new
