"...so instead we the GOP are going to replace this unsustainable program with nothing making a future problem a problem of today!" /s
"While yes, EBT card is useful to buy all kinds of healthy food such as fresh produce, staples such as beans and rice, as well as great protein choices such as chicken, pork or beef, you may not be aware that EBT card can also buy sugar! And, you may not be aware, its possible for someone to consume enough sugar to gain weight. Therefore the GOP solution is to remove the EBT card which grants access to this sugar (as well as all the other food). By doing this those children that are overweight will effectively be put on a starvation diet where their bodies will slowly first digest their body's muscle and put their liver at risk by forcing ketosis. Those children that don't happen to be overweight, and will suffer tremendously, should have thought about that before they let all their peers eat too much." /s
I mean... do you need the /s when you're just de-politicizing the language and not changing the message?
Can’t have kids eating sugar, they will get fat. Also, let’s give subsidize corn farming some more.
