Shaun Mitchell+FollowStop Complaining About Food Stamps While Ignoring Corporate WelfareReal talk: You pay about 18 times more to subsidize profitable corporations than to feed hungry families. Your Actual Tax Bill Food Stamps: $36/year to feed 42 million people. That's $6.20 per person per day. Corporate Welfare: $650+/year in direct subsidies to profitable companies. Plus: - $870 in cash grants to corporations - $1,268 in pharma price gouging - $722 in bank subsidies The Healthcare Scam Hospitals charge private insurance 224% of Medicare rates for the same procedures. Medicaid pays 30% *less* than Medicare but gets blamed for being "expensive." Your costs: - Doctor visit with private insurance: $20.29 - Same visit with Medicaid: $2.80 The Spin - Food stamp recipients: Called welfare queens - Corporate welfare queens: Called "job creators" Politicians demand drug tests for $36/year in food aid while giving $650+/year to mega-corporations with zero oversight. 64% of voters want to end corporate welfare. Congress ignores them. Bottom Line We're programmed to rage about single moms getting $200/month while Amazon and Boeing get billions. Food stamps generate $1.50-$1.80 economic activity per dollar. Corporate welfare barely breaks even. The welfare problem isn't poor people getting food. It's rich companies getting your money while convincing you to hate hungry families. Stop falling for it. #EBT #EBTBenefitsWoes #CorporateWelfare1222Share

Christine Nguyen+Followsurviving on a tight budget: smart shopping tips for EBT users 🛒💸Living on a tight budget isn’t easy, especially when the prices keep climbing. If you’re using EBT or food stamps, knowing how to shop smart can make a huge difference in what ends up on your plate. Here are some tips I’ve learned the hard way: 🥔 Buy versatile staples like potatoes, onions, and carrots — they’re cheap and last long. 🍲 Canned soups and stews often go on sale; they’re filling and easy to store. 🥚 Eggs and peanut butter pack a protein punch without breaking the bank. 🥶 Frozen fruits and veggies can be cheaper than fresh and won’t spoil quickly. 📅 Plan your meals around weekly store deals and use apps or flyers to find discounts. Remember, shopping with a list and sticking to it helps avoid impulse buys that drain your budget. Also, don’t be shy about asking your local food bank if they have extra resources — every little bit helps. It’s all about making the most of what you have — because food on the table is a win no matter how you slice it. Keep pushing. 💪 #Food #EBT 349Share
