Hochul allows snap benefits to be used on prepared foods

[Saltwater60]

Keeps getting worse.

Gov. Kathy Hochul signed legislation on Monday that open up possibility for people to use SNAP benefits to get meals from restaurants

Gov. Kathy Hochul also announced the launch of a $25 million Restaurant Resiliency Program that would help restaurants and food banks.

Ridiculous does not begin to explain my thoughts on this.

I could swear and swear and swear some more, nut it would not help.

Book your dream vacation today! (Now accepting SNAP)

 

[Deplorable Me]

To stretch our budget we learned how to cook from scratch. Still like doing it today. I know what's in my meal. Hochul's plan makes people even more dependent on the social welfare system.

At least they'll stop clogging up the lines at the grocery store.

 

[Stuckinny]

With the prices at restaurants anyone's SNAP benefits will be gone in a, well, snap. We went on a weekend getaway recently in Southbumfuk County (aka Ulster) and 2 dinners for 2 set me back almost 200. How much are on these f'n cards?

 

[Acer-m14]

So with SNAP ,.. .. no hot food allowed .. so all they can get is a salad

 

[Jezman]

Open doors for more corruption!

"Swipe dat shit 'gain! I knows there be money on dat card, anna I needz that pizza and wings!"

I'm really happy actually, that trailer trash fuck at my work can stop bragging about how much money he has in his baby-mommas account. I cant wait for the FB posts of the lobster dinners at fancy as fuck restaurants.

This amounts to nothing more than buying votes. This POS couldn’t care less about the homeless or the disabled.
Fucking commiecrat .

 

[GOPerfect]

Also means that when I go to a restaurant, there will be even more people around me that I don't want to be near.

I cannot wait to move!

 

[MothMan]

The people in Syracuse that have these cards wouldn’t go to the restaurants Butterfly and I go to.

There are no close by bus routes!

 

[MothMan]

Restaurants like Vito’s, Grimaldis, Riley’s , Franklin Hotel (in Rome). Don’t even see tokens at these places

 

[Bigfoot]

I would be so embarrassed.

I know "some" people are truly disabled or whatever and they need the help.
But yeah, how embarrassing it's got to be to hand the cashier a food stamp card.

The problem is that it was intended to help those who really need help and not as the vehicle to endlessly support the experts in milking the system.

 

[GOPerfect]

And, as the homeless go...

There are plenty of garbage cans and dumpsters to get their meals from.

I don't go where they go to eat, why should they be going where I go to eat?

 

[Bigfoot]

Kathy Hochul sucks. No surprise there. She can eat a bag of dicks.

The majority of Democrat voters are dumb ass losers. So that's who the Democrat politicians cater to.

 

[Bigfoot]

Nevermind LOL

They’re not embarrassed in the least. Why would they be? It’s a credit card now for christ sakes. Most people don’t even pay attention any more . Most Everyone uses their credit card for just about everything they purchase. When people had to pull out food stamp coupons you could see that a lot of them were embarrassed and even apologetic. Now , the fuckers stand in the grocery store line bragging about getting ALL the bennies , wearing more jewelry than I can afford to buy my wife in a year.

Yeah, because they will get priority status, and be able to cut the lines.

Why do you get to decide who gets to go to a private business? Because you don't like it? Too bad. Their business, their rules. You're free to start your own "no homeless people allowed" grocery store if you want.

How much damn respite does someone need from a hard week of sitting on their ass?

Going out to a nice dinner used to be a treat, not a right.

Homeless can go anywhere they want. Sometimes, I like looking at them, reminds me how awesome I have it in life.

I have an issue first off them getting so much money from the tax payers. Second, now these dirty people are going to be allowed to use our money in restaurants? Yeah, I have a serious issue with that.

They need to either better themselves, take a bath or stay under the bridges.

Yep, no sarcasm here.

They chose to be homeless, nearly everyone is in the condition they are due to their choices; they need to start choosing better

 

[Mosinitis]

Lots of people who receive food stamps are homeless. Hard to cook under such conditions. If this doesn't change the amount they get, who cares.

I took his post more as if he saves up $100 to go dine in a nice restaurant, why should someone who could not afford to be there except for subsidies by the taxpayer be going there possibly ruining his experience?

It is not a matter of them not being allowed, but being priced out.

Yes, sometimes folks of more modest means should be able to go out and enjoy themselves in a more exclusive setting without the riffraff. It is even more offensive that they are there on our dime. Will I get a subsidy to join an exclusive golf club so I can avoid the unwashed masses at the public courses? No, I would have to pay myself and gain membership.

SNAP benefits are so folks don't starve. Giving them the ability to eat expensive restaurant meals on our dime goes way past that original goal.
