What else is new?

Back in 2003, I was qualified for a lousy $28 a month in Food Stamps, as long as I came in twice a week for their work program.

It cost more for the gasoline to make it to their work program than the benefits offered. It's cheaper to sit on my ass than to qualify for SNAP. And that was way before the orange man.

On the bright side, MAGAts will be resplendent victims.
