Millionaires Off Food Stamps. EMERGENCY!!!

Pretty much what you'd expect from a Lefty Rag that doesn't ask questions.

The President has instituted new rules for food stamps, which now will include total assets, liquid assets, and income.  The previous rules only cared about income--and a millionaire from Minnesota showed how utterly stupid THAT was.

So how the Hell can the Lefty Rag argue that this is the Worst Thing To Hit Since the Orange-Man Disaster of 2016?

Simple.  Don't ask questions about "costs."

...The change would boost costs for Wisconsin taxpayers by millions of dollars a year because the state would have to upgrade the computer systems that administer the FoodShare program, retrain workers and more thoroughly scrutinize the assets of people who apply for benefits.

The computer upgrade would cost $2.3 million, according to the state Department of Health Services. Operational costs would rise by $17.7 million a year. State and local taxpayers would have to pick up about half of both sets of costs, with the federal government paying for the rest. ...

See!!  You lose!!  Orange Man Bad!!

The last sentence is a hint....the State will only pay about $9 million/year in recurring costs plus $1.2 million in one-time costs.  See!!  You Lose!!--says Carpetbagger Kaul, a reliable Trotskyite Attorney General. 

Why is this carpetbagger Trotskyite AG flapping his jaw about 'costs' rather than the State Secretary of Health Services?  Good question!  He's suing Trump and obviously he called the Lefty Rag to get his spin (and name) into the "news"paper.

So what information is at damn near the very end of the "news" item?

...The rule would also result in children losing access to school lunches because many schools automatically provide free meals to children if they receive food stamps.

In Wisconsin, about 39,600 people in about 24,100 households would lose more than $11 million in benefits a year, according to estimates from the state Department of Health Services. Of those, about 13,000 are children and about 11,000 are senior citizens. ...

Property taxes should drop (they won't, of course) when "free" food is no longer served.  And 40,000 people--many of them living fat--will lose an average of $275.00 each, annually--about $20.00/month.

Not even a minor loss.

As to the "estimates" of ongoing costs to implement the program?

Note that the "news"paper did not go to the IT management at DHS, nor to anyone who is on the ground in DHS operational management to double-check Carpetbagger Kaul's numbers.

Just sayin'.....
