Snap benefits only have an abuse report of 1.6%. The weight of your sin will cast you into the depths of The Pit to suffer for all eternity
Let’s get rid of that 1.6% abuse… tho I suspect it’s higher…
You probably don’t conduct large swaths of reviewed study so your suspicion is worth less. Making millions of people go through reapplying and suffering from hunger because of 1.6% of the people using it wrongly is still unjustified. That’s millions of people missing meals because of not even a million people. There is a better wsy
So you aren’t mad at the people committing welfare fraud?! What about the system that lets 11 percent be messed up: “Federal audits and USDA reports show national improper payment rates around 11–11.7 percent for recent fiscal years, equating to roughly $10–$10.5 billion that were paid improperly”
Or this fun factoid: “Fraudulent Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefit transactions increased by a staggering 55 percent between the final quarter of fiscal year 2024 and the first quarter of fiscal year 2025, according to data from the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Food and Nutrition Service.” -https://www.newsweek.com/snap-benefit-theft-explodes-across-us-2082664
"Between the final quarter of fiscal year 2024 and the first quarter of fiscal year 2025, the total number of fraudulent SNAP transactions jumped from 444,553 to 691,604—an increase of 247,051, or 55 percent. It marks the largest rise in fraudulent claims across a single time period since the USDA began publishing these records.
Since the second quarter of fiscal year 2023, more than $102 million in stolen benefits has been replaced by the federal government, the dataset reveals."-https://www.newsweek.com/snap-benefit-theft-explodes-across-us-2082664
Let me guess tho: I guess Newsweek works for Trump now, right?
Oh you think that kind of fraud is bad, just wait until you see what the ultra wealthy do. What poor and low income people do to get by is not my concern because it costs nothing in the face of everything that the rich and their republican buddies are pulling out of all of us
just wait until you see what the ultra wealthy do.
Oh I know that they do. I have been against the ultra wealthy all my life. So because rich people steal from poor people, do you think it’s ok for poor people to steal from other poor people?! Nah, dawg, I ain’t going that path.
Fraud is fraud. I don’t care what the income level of the fraudster is. Welfare fraud needs to be fixed.
I’m saying if you fixed the problem with the rich the poor wouldn’t need to steal
The poor don’t need to steal now. They still do. You do realize that not every theft is out of necessity, right?! How old are you where you think there is some utopia that people won’t steal if they have enough stuff?! LMAO
