The USDA Is Pushing Food Stamps Like a Drug Dealer at a Grade SchoolDaisy Luther Yes, I said higher. The USDA is soliciting people to receive food stamps in the manner of a drug dealer on a grade school playground. Psst hey you! Ive got something for youits freecome on, try it. Youll like it! Even though we are drowning in debt and going under after a last gasp of air, the government of the United States is encouraging more people to go on the dole, even if doing so had never crossed their minds. Last year the USDA targeted Spanish speaking citizens (and non-citizens) with a radio novela which was basically a soap opera outlining how the lives of the characters improved as soon as they went on SNAP. SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) has taken the place of traditional food stamps and is simply a handy-dandy little card that is automatically reloaded and can be used like a debit card at checkout. The characters in the novela saw many of their problems solved by accepting the assistance the lessening of marital strife, happier children, and an affordably healthy lifestyle for an obese character after heart attack scare. (You can listen to the English version of these novelas HERE.) The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) even has a webpage dedicated to helping states create SNAP Outreach Plans. The argument from the USDA is that Food Stamps Make America Stronger by stimulating states economies. States are responding to the call. According to The Washington Post: Rhode Island hosts SNAP-themed bingo games for the elderly. Alabama hands out fliers that read: Be a patriot. Bring your food stamp money home. Three states in the Midwest throw food-stamp parties where new recipients sign up en masse. And Florida even employs recruiters. The recruiter profiled in the Posts story, Dillie Nerios, is required to get at least 150 seniors to enroll in food stamps each month, a quota she usually exceeds. Help is available. You deserve it. So, yes or no? she tells prospective food stamp recipients. State-issued training manuals even provides responses she can use when individuals protest. (source) The outrageousness of such actions is mind-boggling. Hard-working Americans are being sequestered into poverty, watching their pensions and life-savings disappear, and losing their homes and jobs at the rate of thousands per day. Meanwhile, the government is going out and purposely increasing spending? Going out and convincing people to accept handouts? What????? The reason is simple. The government wants to be in control. They want to control what you eat, where you acquire the food, and how you pay for it. And eventually, they want the ability to use that access to food as a tool for manipulation. Itll be great while it lasts your family might end up with an extra $200 in groceries Hey, honey want lobster for dinner tonight? Uncle Sams buying! But when it ends, you will be left poorer than you were before with no means of feeding your family except capitulation to the machine. It is a gift of luscious fruit from a poisoned tree. You may not think this comes at a price, but it does. And that price is your freedom. Your childrens freedom. And eventually, maybe even your lives, as you starve to death, waiting for that next handout. Please, take responsibility for yourselves and your family. Dont sell your independence for a bag of free groceries. Watch this video from Fox News (I cant believe I just said that but its really eye-opening!). Its worth the 40 minutes to see how the the enemies of freedom intend to take over. Daisy Luther is a freelance writer and editor.
