It's a fairy tale. There's no way $200/month in food stamp benefits (conditioned, BTW, on not having more than $2000 cash in a bank account) does jack squat to the gap between someone recieving SNAP benefits and someone who's actually well off. Even if you add in Medicaid benefits that some SNAP recipients are automatically eligible, it doesn't even come close. It doesn't explain how Gen X won't be able to retire, or how 80% of Americans can't afford new cars, or how the average person can't afford a home in 99% of America. And, it sure as hell doesn't explain what's going on at the grocery store, or in the used car market, or in the rental market. (All of which has been previously / recently discussed on here, BTW.) And, it for damn sure doesn't pay my bills. That story and $3 doesn't even get you a latte at a chain coffee shop anymore. No, it's just some made up BS to either gaslight us into thinking everything is fine, or make wealthy people feel okay about all the exploitation it takes to turn the crank that makes them a dollar.
