Finally, some common sense is coming to Washington. Secretary Kennedy and several Republican-led states are putting an end to the liberal welfare scam that lets people buy candy bars and soda with your tax dollars. West Virginia, Florida, Colorado, Louisiana, Oklahoma, and Texas have all gotten federal approval to cut junk food from their SNAP programs.
For too long, hardworking Americans have watched their tax money get wasted on Mountain Dew and Doritos for people who refuse to take care of themselves. While families struggle to put healthy food on their own tables, the government has been handing out free money for garbage that makes people sick and fat. That ends now.
The liberal media is having a total meltdown over this basic reform. They are screaming about how mean and cruel it is to expect people to buy actual food with food stamps. These are the same people who lecture us about healthy eating and climate change, but somehow think taxpayers should fund junk food binges.
New York Democrats are pushing their own bill to force similar changes, but only because they know which way the wind is blowing. When even blue states start admitting the welfare system is broken, you know real change is coming. The days of buying energy drinks with EBT cards are numbered.
This is what real leadership looks like. Instead of throwing money at problems and hoping they go away, we are finally demanding results. If you want government assistance, you better use it for what it was meant for – actual nutrition, not sugar rushes and empty calories.
The obesity crisis in America is directly connected to our backwards welfare policies. We have been literally paying people to eat themselves to death while productive citizens foot the bill. No more free rides for bad choices.
Liberals always claim to care about the poor, but their policies keep people sick, fat, and dependent on government handouts. Real compassion means helping people make better choices, not enabling their worst habits with taxpayer money. This reform will save lives and save money.
President Trump promised to drain the swamp and cut government waste. This SNAP reform proves that promise is being kept. Americans voted for leaders who would stop the madness and start making government work for the people who pay for it, not the people who abuse it.
