No.
You and everyone else here knows damn well they're not gonna cut one penny of that shit.
Hell they'll probably ADD more funding to it when it's all said and done.

Will Congress find a solution before SNAP benefits expire on November 1?

Of course they will!!!

Fuck the FSA'ers.  Hopefully people who truly need help won't be in the mix.

Good. If they are buying lobster, crab and tbones on the 1st of every month the program is obviously over funded.

Needs a 10% haircut. Stricter limits on items available for purchase and Valid ID matching SNAP account to use the card.

They will just cut more from the military to fund SNAP.
9/16/2013 5:12:21 AM EDT

good.

actually, they need to go back to just giving them bread, milk, eggs, butter, and basic staples.

you can eat meat when you get a job....

That was my sarcastic attempt at bringing to light the misspelling of the word "lose".

Yes sir the rich need to pay more of their "fair share" and this will not happen.

Huh, surprising that a "crisis" like this would be wasted on a non-election year.   I expect they will pass something temporary so it comes back in time for the mid-terms.

The FSA will not go hungry, and 7-11 won't go bankrupt.
9/16/2013 5:22:25 AM EDT

Good. they need to cut that shit all together & go back to food distribution centers..not this "here's some other American's hard earned money, now go buy whatever you want"..including fruit punch, chips & fucking tasty cakes.



Fuck them.

The cuts to SNAP will be minimal , the cuts elsewhere  . . . well that'll be where it really hurts .

Hot link to Al Jazeera on ARFCOM? Interdasting.

ETA: I agree it seems like it's time to trim some fat in this program.

I think I will call my congressman and tell him that I am ok with reducing the funding to this program.

48 million people on the gravy train.  That is about 1 in 6 people in the country.  There has to be an end point.

46 million would be a start.

4-6 million is just a scare tactic to rustle up more money.

I will. I'll call my congressman and urge him to to the cut.

Some people get FS benefits and don't need them. There was a guy in front of me the other day buying food. He whips out his EBT card, apparently it was denied.

He then pulled out a wad of cash that would have made many envious and paid for his food. He was a Spanish speaking fellow, he left the store and climbed into a gold trimmed Cadillac.

I normally don't give a damn, but there is abuse out there and it needs to stop. It's ok if you really need it, but I don't think this guy did.

The ones losing the benefits are probably Republicans or Ron Paul supporters, that's why the number is so low. And for the war mongers, there will be no riots, maybe a spike in crime but no riots.

Cut everyone  - then make them all re apply.

It is hard to support SNAP when you see all the obese "poor" people in the United States.

They don't eat vegetables, they eat processed carbs. The crop they consume most is likely corn in the form of HFCS.

Is this a real cut or is this a "hey we are only going to raise it 2% a year instead or 6%," thing
