Tuna, you really do need to drop the bullshit abou

Tuna, you really do need to drop the bullshit about food stamps. I've posted this challenge before.

Toss the program away for EVERYBODY, no exceptions.

We OK on that? No more freeloading, right. Just fucking do it.

I'll take the political consequences for the Dems. Now take a look at what happens in Red State America and to Trump supporters:

Who Gets Food Stamps? White People, Mostly

 02/28/2015 07:30 am ET | Updated Feb 28, 2015


WASHINGTON — Gene Alday, a Republican member of the Mississippi state legislature, apologized last week for telling a reporter that all the African-Americans in his hometown of Walls, Mississippi, are unemployed and on food stamps.

“I come from a town where all the blacks are getting food stamps and what I call ‘welfare crazy checks,’” Alday said to a reporter for The Clarion-Ledger, a Mississippi newspaper, earlier this month. “They don’t work.”

Nationally, most of the people who receive benefits from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program are white. According to 2013 data from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, which administers the program, 40.2 percent of SNAP recipients are white, 25.7 percent are black, 10.3 percent are Hispanic, 2.1 percent are Asian and 1.2 percent are Native American.
