The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

The "slashing" will be felt mostly by able bodied recipients who are healthy and should be working

And you know this how?

and by illegal imimgrants who shouldn’t be here in the first place

Illegal immigrants do not get food stamps or SNAP benefits. They are also ineligible for Medicaid or other health benefits. You can look it up rather than relying on Fox News for your information.

There remains plenty of money to assist American citizens who qualify for it

I repeat, you know this how?

Irony: illegal immigrants contribute to taxes but are ineligible for benefits. This attitude actually increases the costs to you of these programs, since they are subsidized by those not eligible for them.
