Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins to OVERHAUL entire SNAP program after major fraud exposed

- 186,000 dead people receiving benefits
- 500,000 recipients are getting double benefits
- every recipient will need to reapply to verify "they can't survive without it"

This data is only from 29 mostly red states which cooperated with providing data.

The fraud is SO much worse.

Whatever the fraud is in red states, we all know the blue states that wont share data have at least 10x more.

There shouldn't be EBT. There should be 1-person 1-week kits of food. Supermarkets and Bodegas can distribute them.

Beans, Rice, a little Meat, a little eggs, iodized salt, oil, powdered milk, canned or seasonal veggies.

Agree. Even if sending out a box of food cost more per individual the savings would be huge. We would remove a mass amount of fraud since no cash is involved. We would be saving a ton in healthcare costs. Only people who really need it would participate.

The biggest savings is cutting out retail stores like Walmart, which supposedly was getting 25% of its revenue from SNAP/EBT.

42 million receive food stamps. Think that through.
So, in the USA 42 million told the government that they cannot feed themselves.
I personally know people who are defrauding and getting lots of shit like food stamps for free.
One also goes to a church to get free food; she tells them she's in a family of 4 and they give her more food.
She hoards it, although she does also eat it, since she's a fat slob.
