Right before our eyes

 Hi Everyone!

Sorry this is kind of long I got carried away. 

As all of you know I try not to be political on my blog. Also, as open as I am about some personal things, I have never talked about how Mr. M. and I get by. When I lost my business to covid, I thought, "How in hell would we live just on our small social security?" At that time we signed up for SNAP. 

It was a life saver for us.  

 I also doubled the size of my garden and started canning like a mad woman. I knew there would be a day like now. 

Even with what I have in store, this is going to be rough for us and the millions who try to make it from month to month. I am sickened by the republicans that are bashing Americans on SNAP telling them to stop buying treats for their kids. Are you effing kidding me? These kids have little enough as it is and republicans want to take away a treat!!!! Believe me treats are not the reason our county is where it is. Or the senator from Louisiana telling SNAP recipients to stop buying crack. WTF? The people I know on SNAP have jobs, take care of their kids and try to make ends meet. 

The people in charge don't go hungry, they get $79.00 a day for meals paid with our taxes. SNAP covers $6.19 a day. They don't go without the best healthcare. They choose from a gold-level Obamacare policy and receive federal subsidies that cover 72 percent of the cost of the premiums.  There are other subsidies that our tax dollars pay for too.  What they don't do, is go to bed worrying, and wondering how they are going to pay the rent, utilities, food, and medications. 

Yesterday I received a letter telling me my prescriptions will now be $12.69 starting Jan. Right now I'm paying $1.69. We are seeing someone to try and change this.

 

Only the "thing" in the white house would say, "A Little Party Never Killed Nobody” 

As he hosted a lavish party of his closest billionaire buddies at Mara-a- largo, while millions of people lose their SNAP. 

There was two stand alone bills to fund SNAP. Republican Senate Majority Leader John Thune opposed both legislations. 

To use hunger as a political tool is, in my opinion, the most evil a government can do. The "thing" has already stated that SNAP is gone. This is part of his plan. Shut down the government so he can do what he wants. Have Mike Johnson keep congress on hiatus. It's been over a month now. Get rid of SNAP, Obamacare subsides, next will be Medicare. ICE is just the beginning of his nationalization of so called law enforcement. Get rid of anyone who goes against him, Pardon criminals that will be loyal to him, and there are so many other illegal and unethical things he has done. Last he will rig the voting. (Again?) You don't build a 90,000 Sq Ft ball room and then leave it. 

So, right before our eyes we have a dictator who hates anyone that he can't befit from.
