In reply to the discussion: I'd like a minute to talk about food .. in light of the Blue Apron thread [View all]whopis01
(3,778 posts)Trump and his people sell this to their base by pretending that it will keep people from wasting money on things they shouldnt have and cut back on costs.
It pleases those who feel the poor should be punished and shamed.
It pleases those who feel social assistance programs are a waste of money.
It pleases those who think they should get to dictate to others.
But in the end this idiotic plan would increase costs tremendously and result in less and reduced quality food going to those who need it most.
The only reason for this plan is to use it to funnel tax money to the companies that would get the contracts for fulfillment and delivery. They dont care what people eat. They dont care about government spending. They only care about putting money in their pockets.
And all they have to do is give their base something to make themselves feel better about themselves. They give their base someone to look down on. Someone who gets shit on more than themselves.
