#BBC PRESS #SELLOUT TOO?
No mention of #cuts to #medicaid #foodstamps or double the cr cuts to fund #taxcuts to the #rich #onepercent
The reason all this matters is the average joe isn't paying attention to all this and will only notice it when their food stamps and #obamcare is cut. Obviously then it will be too late
BBC.com: Chuck #Schumer backs spending bill to avert US government shutdown
bbc.com/news/articles/cdx2j8n7

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) leaves the Democratic caucus lunch. His glasses are perched low on his nose and his expression is neutral. He wears a blue suit and red tie, and there are reporters in the background.
www.bbc.comChuck Schumer backs spending bill to avert US government shutdownIn a reversal, Senate minority leader Chuck Schumer has said he will vote for the bill, which needs Democrat support to move forward.

SO THE DEMOCRATS ARE GOING TO KILL #MEDICAID AND #FOODSTAMPS JUST WOW
"Multiple Senate Democrats -- who COULD block the bill thanks to the chamber's 60-vote filibuster rule but have long bemoaned government shutdowns as needless chaos -- have HAVE SAID THEY WOULD SUPPORT IT rather than further destabilize the government at a time when Trump adviser Elon Musk has ousted more than 100,000 federal workers. " (YES BECAUSE SCREW MEDICAID AND FOOD STAMPS)

SNAP and fresh plants and seeds

If you are on SNAP food stamps, just a reminder, you can use your SNAP benefits to buy plants and seeds to grow produce at any place that accepts SNAP and sells plants or seeds for produce, even fruit bearing trees.

Whether it is tomato plants in a pot, herbs in the windowsill, lettuce in containers, green beans from a hanging basket or a small to large garden plot, you can make your benefits go farther. Don't forget berries. Don't discount a few things on the patio. A wonderful hobby and distraction, also. No experience really needed

Items include:
• Seeds for producing edible plants and edible plants (e.g. , tomatoes and green pepper seeds or plants, and fruit trees);
• Edible food producing roots, bushes, and bulbs (e.g., asparagus crowns and onion bulbs); and
• Seeds and plants used to produce spices for use in cooking

For every $1 dollar spent on seeds and fertilizer, home gardeners can grow an average of $25 worth of produce. Growing food from seeds and plants makes SNAP benefits last longer, allowing recipients to double the value of their benefits over time.

You get the impression that #poverty is made and continued by design in the #USA. And there is almost no incentive for the #billionaires to end poverty at all, although they could very easily by just stopping #taxfraud or collecting the taxes that are already due today. 🤯

#Money flows to the super #rich (which pay less #taxes!) instead to the people in need.

The #AmericanDream is an illusion.

What a shit country. What a shit system.

"The idea that this is a way of taking on the for-profit food industry is an illusion. As I’ve noted, a great way to do that would be to introduce warning labels on unhealthy foods that actually show that they’re bad for you rather than just a neutral set of statistics. Warning labels wouldn’t restrict consumer choice, nor would they target only the poor. But the food industry is dead set against it and spreads propaganda to try to keep us from having more helpful nutrition labels. I’ve previously suggested another non-coercive way we could improve people’s ability to eat healthily: start public restaurants that offer 100 percent healthy options where people can eat for free. But RFK, Fetterman, and Congressional Republicans seem most intrigued by the idea that involves micromanaging the diets of the least well-off"

www.currentaffairs.orgLet Food Stamp Recipients Eat Whatever The Hell They WantTrying to force the poor—and only the poor—to eat healthily is intrusive and humiliating. If we’re going to restrict junk snacks, we should restrict them for everyone.
