There is no such thing as a free lunch. Someone pays. When the Biden Regime bypasses Congress to expand food stamps by decree, guess who pays for the bags of Fudge Rounds that 5’3″ 300-pounders put on their EBT cards? You do — not only directly through taxes but also through higher prices:

The Biden administration’s “unlawful food stamp expansion” is driving “massive spikes in grocery prices,” a new government watchdog report finds.

The Foundation for Government Accountability reveals that Biden’s 2021 expansion of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program drove up food prices by over 15%.

“In 2021, the Biden administration rushed through the largest permanent increase in food stamp benefits since the program was created, hiking benefits by an average of 27 percent,” the report stated.

Congress could repeal the expansion, which it never authorized. But as Democrats know, handouts work like a ratchet, moving us ever closer to their objective. Few politicians have the belly to tell moochers they can no longer force their neighbors to pay for their third helping of ice cream. Every step toward Marxism is permanent — at least until the house of cards comes crashing down.

The Congressional Budget Office estimated that the food stamp expansion could cost United States taxpayers more than $1 trillion over the next decade.

Good thing the government has printing presses to pay for all this spending.
