Common Sense on SNAP

 The Republicans did the right thing here.

 The Wisconsin State Assembly passed a bill that would restrict Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) recipients from being able to purchase soda and candy with their benefits....

 ...“SNAP should help people eat better and live healthier lives,” Moses said. “When taxpayer-funded benefits are routinely spent on products that contribute to chronic disease, it hurts families and drives up Medicaid costs for everyone.”

Eighteen other states have similar restrictions that will go into place at some point in 2026....

Evers--of course--will veto this measure.  The health and well-being of blacks and others in poverty has NEVER been a concern of Democrats.  

Their only real concern?  Keeping people on the plantation.
