The Government isn't supposed to be our Nanny. There are MANY wonderful food banks and charities out there to fill the gap. The food stamp system is abused and needs culled.
The Trump administration now cutting food stamps for the poorest of the poor, after having passed a $2T tax cut for the richest of the rich. Is this what we have become as a country? We cannot be great if we are not good.https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.nytimes.com/2019/12/04/us/politics/food-stamps.amp.html …

No amount of private charity can compensate for a lack of social justice. I’ve run a non-denominational church as well as nonprofits. No, churches & nonprofits cannot be left to clean up all the mess created by politicians serving corporate wealth at the expense of our citizens.

No he isn’t - it’s only able-bodied adults without children and no, the tax cut was for almost everyone. Don’t fall into that silly drm messaging.

Many thousands of what you call “able-bodied adults” are not able to meet the requirements, and $.83 of every dollar of that tax cut went to the richest individuals and corporations.

In the words of Franklin D. Roosevelt... “The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much; it is whether we provide enough for those who have too little.”

I love this quote. It speaks to humanitarian values.

It’s as if there is no acknowledgement of the many many people currently experiencing homelessness.

Right! Because in order to talk about those things, they'd have to actually be accountable for the stuff they've done to knowingly participate in it.

Absolutely right. God intended for all his children to live in superfluous inordinate wealth - the problem is that poor people can’t believe it and rich people can (only because they are born into it).
