What a gigantic moron. $80/per week in food assistance.
Idk-123 on
$350 per month is not enough for groceries if you have kids.
kevinthedot on
There’s 52 weeks in a year. That means they have about $80 per week as a food budget, a bit over $10 a day. PER HOUSEHOLD? That’s some razor thin margins, especially in areas with high cost of living like cities.
utriptmybitchswitch on
When I got food stamps, it was a little over $5 a day, or $35 a week. Please tell me how to eat three healthy, well-balanced meals a day on that. The only things you can afford are the super cheap, super processed items that republifascists are now banning or trying to ban. When pretty much every last dime you make goes to rent, bills, car etc sometimes the $35 a week is all you have; PB&J gets old after awhile…

Call his office and ask him to take us grocery shopping to show us how it is done.

That is barely enough to be having 3 fulfilling meals a day for one person, let laone families

Great. What about next month? Is there a guarantee SNAP will continue next month?

$80 per week.
There’s a reason the “$4200” number is used, even when specified as “on average” and “annually.” Most people skim little bytes like this and it’s the “$4200” that this douche wants to highlight – *even though it’s just $80/week* and that’s not even enough for ONE PERSON to eat a balanced, nutritious diet.
Ghastly. Ghoulish. Reprehensible.

As a mom of three, I work full time (with overtime every paycheck) and it’s still not enough to feed the 4 of us. We only get $100 a month. That’s still not a buffer for me to start smoking crack.

I remember Jesus saying that in bible our Christian Ethics course “and Lo I said you where hungry but F’ off crack head, should have be more prepared!”

How much does a gallon of milk cost in your district, Clay? Tell me right now without asking an aide. If I were to buy a gallon of milk today what would its expiration date likely be?
Out of touch asshole.

This is all of them. Go look through X right now. It’s hundreds of influencers, politicians, CEOs, community leaders, business owners, Christian Nationalist, and obviously bots…
…and every one of them is circle jerking over how we need to get rid of Snap. Before SNAP, they sold the narrative that the dems were behind the shutdown. There’s a new thing every week.
**A narrative gets passed down from the top, the talking points are dispersed, and a few hundred right wing figureheads successfully make up the minds of hundreds of thousands of X users. And those users are waiting to gobble up every talking point.**
You can’t argue with them, as i’m sure you know. And you can’t compete with them. The right is organized and mobilized in a way the left doesn’t even know is possible. I know this because i am on X calling them out using their own language and tactics against them every day. And it’s maybe one in every three threads that i even see another liberal. They are a well-disciplined disinformation army, and they are massacring us.
BombasticSimpleton on
Something tells me this guy does not do the grocery shopping in his household.
Maybe he should provide us with his receipts and show us a picture of his pantry, as proof of concept? I would look forward to his review of eating diced plaks, blue corb, ube, and reems for an entire month.
But using an AI generated picture is not going to prove anything.

billyboyf30 on
So an average of £80 a week to live in a time where a week’s worth of bread and milk alone will cost over £10. This guy’s on drugs if he thinks you should have a least a month’s worth stocked up

My elderly clients on disability benefits (social security) are getting $16 dollars per month on average. My clients with two parent household 2 kids, three jobs between them, are getting $241 on average. My single person household no kids with jobs are getting an average of $45. A single person household no job with permanent disability $120. Single person household with no job, no disability, no kids, and not caring for a person with disability get approved for 3 months at $189 in a three year period, again 3 months every three years (TX).
OTee_D on
4200 annually equals 11.50 per day for a full household.
I guess we can safely assume Clay has never gone shopping himself and has no clue what food for even three people (parents + kid) cost.
DASAdventureHunter on
Bro’s got no idea what groceries cost.

Let’s ask Rep. Clay Higgins what the monthly grocery spend is for his household. I’d bet a year’s worth of SNAP benefits that he doesn’t know.
Weewoofiatruck on
Stupid take. I grew up on EBT and I remember people getting mad you couldn’t get energy drinks with it. Now that was also a stupid take.
I think we need to teach how to cook properly with affordable ingredients at a young age honestly. Teaching folks how to cook properly and not blow their money on fast food and soda is good. Financially and health wise.
But this? This is a dumb take by him.

AI on Google says the average is $4272 a year. Even if this is the right number, it breaks down to under $12 a day.
Same AI says a family of 3 averages $26-43 per day.
And THIS BOZO is claiming that this extravagant amount is high enough that the average family is SLACKING if they don’t have a month of food stored up.
This is a great example of lying with accurate numbers. His annual and monthly breakdowns sound reasonable- but most people shop by the WEEK so the number doesn’t connect to a reality in their mind.
This is only worsened by the detail that most people posting this junk have absolutely no idea how most of us live.

dalgeek on
If you eat pretty cheap then $3/meal/person is a good starting point for a budget.
So for 1 person that’s $9/day or $3285/yr.
Suddenly $4200 doesn’t sound like much, especially if you have 2-4 people in the household.

That’s $350 per month. I’m a single guy and I probably spend that. For a family of four that’s a pretty skinny diet. No way there’s extra to stock up for a month.
