Thanks again to Chuck Schumer and his shutdown for bringing to light how freeloaders foreign and domestic have abused the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. At least the corporations that Democrats ostentatiously hate are cashing in big:

Walmart captures nearly a quarter of the money spent through Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) on consumer packaged goods and general merchandise, according to a June report from Numerator. Other companies which capture a high percentage of SNAP dollars: Kroger (8%), Costco (6%), Amazon (5%). …

A sizable percentage of Walmart’s own employees are on food stamps, according to a 2020 study from the Government Accountability Office (GAO)…

You may well ask, if they are employed, why do other people have to pay for their food?

Numerator notes that households receiving SNAP benefits “are skewing higher income,” with 23% of SNAP households bringing in $80,000 or more per year.

That is not charity. It is theft.

“What about the chiiildren?” bleeding hearts will bleat.

Numerator also claims that 65% of SNAP households don’t have children, up 5 points from 2020.

Nonetheless, baby products are the biggest SNAP expenditure. But the next biggest is fast food. EBT brandishers need to have junk food prepared for them because they are too lazy to make their own lunch. They are entitled to have someone else make it for them.

In case you aren’t enraged yet:

About 48% of illegal immigrant households use food-related welfare, as compared to 25% of native households.

Democrats are putting a temporary halt to this looting spree to mobilize their handout-dependent base. Better someone should put a permanent halt to it by reforming the program dramatically.

On a tip from Jester.
