there's your problem.

I like kids. I would have had 6 could I convince my wife (who is one of ten)

Not having a husband in the picture sounds more like deadbeat dad issues than hers. At least she’s trying to take care of hers.

I know nothing about this woman, but this is exactly what our welfare plans are for, and I’m not a big fan of welfare. Those 6 kids are at the stage where they likely either become great contributing citizens in the next ten years, or they become shit stains on society. I’d like to use our forced unlawful tax dollars to at least trying to change that trajectory.

As for food choices. Well, they just outright suck in this country and we’ve been shoved massive amounts of prepackaged, cheap, chemical laced and high calorie crap for decades.

It's not even really being reduced. It was expanded during the pandemic. The pandemic expansion is ending, so it is going back to its normal run rate. She should be getting the same benefit next month that she got in 2019.

This is the problem with trying to "buy" votes with government giveaways, it's never enough for those who are looking for a handout, and they always want it in perpetuity. It's just a giant sucking financial black hole, but liberals can't see it.
