Food "Affordability" Woes? Not for SNAP Bros

 Among other mis-information lies spread around by the MSM last year, we have this:

 

PolitiFact claimed that a Republican bill to reform Food Stamps “would bar increases to monthly SNAP benefits” for “inflation” and “in effect become cuts.”

In fact, the Republican bill barred presidents from increasing SNAP benefits above and beyond the rate of food inflation, like Joe Biden did for the first time in the history of the program.

As detailed by the Government Accountability Office, the Biden administration raised SNAP benefits by “21 percent compared to the previous inflation-adjusted” amounts without adequate “economic analysis,” “disclosure,” or “documentation.”...

Really?

So SNAP (Food-Stamp) peeps got a TWENTY-ONE PERCENT increase in free food--yet we hear complaints about "unaffordability" from them?
