Ridin' with Biden
- Thread starter Cuddles
- Start date
Do you want more of that (increasing need of Americans on Food Banks) when the Republicans have a good chance to take the Oval Office after knowing the Food Bank crisis began under the Trump Administration ???
Seriously, this is like listening to the Covidiots who still refuse to acknowledge the Pandemic began under the Trump administration with government shutdowns, school closures, mask mandates, and mile-long car lines at Food Banks.
The Food Bank issue will not go away under the Republicans...it will only increase especially with a very religious House speaker who will not lift a finger to improve the infrastructure needed to get food to the Food Banks.
U.S. food banks warn of strain as Republicans seek food aid cuts
April 21 (Reuters) - Food banks across the United States are straining to meet spiking demand as high food costs and shrinking federal benefits drive scores of Americans to depend on free groceries, just as Republicans seek to narrow access to food assistance.
President Joe Biden, who this week criticized Republicans' proposals to further cut benefits in order to shrink the country's deficit, pledged last year to end hunger in the U.S. by 2030.
Food banks in Atlanta, New Jersey, Ohio, California, and Washington State and national anti-hunger groups told Reuters that demand is rising because of inflation and the end of a temporary expansion of federal food assistance benefits that kept millions out of poverty during the first two years of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Four food banks told Reuters that demand is up between 46 and 125% since last spring, and that visits to their pantries are as high or higher than they were at the height of the pandemic.
More than 11.4 million households collected free groceries in early April, up 15% from a year ago, according to data from the Census Bureau.
"It feels like we've moved on from the pandemic," said Leslie Bacho, CEO of Second Harvest of Silicon Valley, which served 480,000 people in March – up 92% over last year. "But for food banks, we're still deep in a crisis."
Republicans in Congress are considering cuts to food assistance as one way to shrink federal spending as lawmakers debate whether to raise the country's borrowing limit...
Currently, adults aged 18 to 50 without dependents must work or participate in a job training program at least 20 hours per week to receive SNAP benefits, also known as food stamps, for more than three months.
McCarthy's plan would raise that age to 56. Republicans have often proposed stiffer work requirements for SNAP to lower program costs.
Biden, a Democrat, slammed McCarthy's proposal on Wednesday and warned it would harm low-income Americans.
Anti-hunger advocates told Reuters that policies that make it more difficult for people to access SNAP could put further strain on food banks and other emergency food providers.
"Making [work] requirements harder only worsens hunger," said Heather Taylor, managing director of Bread for the World, a Christian anti-hunger group.

The new religious speaker shares the same proposals as McCarthy does...this agenda the Republicans will push aggressively when they're back in control from the 2024 U.S. Presidential Election...the agenda of cutting back on the resources & costs of the Food Bank along with making it much harder for Americans to get food bank social assistance.
You Reap what you Sow...do not bitch about what you wanted in comparison to what you have today. Simply, the long car lines today will get much longer.

As poll numbers show we are fine with it.Unlike Biden at least republicans are mostly honest about who they are and what they will fight for.
Newsflash.Black voters dont care much about Black judges.Millions of Blacks marched and voted for police reform in 2020,not Black judges.
Wow...you believe the Republicans (Trump, Green, Hawley, Jordan, Gaetz & gang...they are mostly honest about who they are) who control their political party and align themselves with White Nationalism and their belief Trump is comparable to Jesus Christ...
You must be conflicted in my opinion.
By the way, thanks for pointing out that your stance has changed from the Green Party to the Republicans.
As stated, I'm going for an Independent if one suitable shows up. If not, I'm OK with a no-vote next fall as I was planning to do in 2016 but an illness (coma) did the no-vote for me.
More of that to come in 2025, 2026, 2027...

I did not say that.
Do you not know who controls the Republicans ???
I'm a Republican who knows Trump is a virus that used the backdoor to gain control of the party under the umbrella of Make America Great Again (White Nationalism)...the same knowledge about Green/Hawley/Gaetz & gang.
Simply, I voted for the lesser evil in 2020 especially when it promised to get rid of Trump and the Pandemic...two critical issues for me although Biden made promises for other things to other voters that those voters have not seen come true...
That's politics regardless of the politician.
Regardless, Biden is by far the lesser evil than Trump !!!
Biden will be the lesser evil if Trump runs again in 2024 but we'll no longer be in a Pandemic and America will foolishly accept the growing chaos against minorities, women, disability, veterans, climate change, and Food Banks when America accepts the greater evil...
An evil that tried to destroy Democracy while crapping on our Constitution when he pumped up a crowd to March on the Capitol...resulting in an insurrection on Democracy & U.S. Constitution.

I did not say that.I am voting for Cornell West or Jill Stein.
Stop attributing words to me that I did not say.
If you take all the different shades of skin color on the court. Success to you, would be having the average color to be some kind of beige or brown....Is that the standard of success
Hmmm...maybe I misread your past posts about Jill Stein in the recent past.
