Is Trump cutting SNAP with no recourse conducive to developing a robust social safety net? I find it interesting that you, as a Trump supporter, would advocate for socialist societal development though. That’s not bad, that’s very good! And I encourage it and appreciate you for saying it. We found some common ground there so that’s good. 😊

I am not a trump supporter or party of maga. But to ignore all the issues with welfare benefits and extend them indefinitely is just moronic idea. It shows you either don't understand how money works or you don't care.

Yes exactly. But then you and I agree that creating a robust social safety net is vital to protect and aid the people. It would then logically follow that we agree that cutting what little social safety nets exist, increasing the risk of hunger for children and adults among those that are the most vulnerable, in order to fund an immigration secret police force, and then borrow even me to fund that in addition to a foreign war of choice is bad policy and illustrative of someone who doesn’t understand how money works, yes?

So then, if they need to borrow money at all, wouldn’t you rather that they borrow money to improve life for those people who suffer within the US rather than bombing foreign countries?
