What is this administration’s answer to our Army troops struggling to put food on the table due to the high prices of the pandemic?
The Army is telling them to apply for SNAP.
Seriously, is that the best we can do for our service members?
Outrageous
When the suggestion was made for troops to apply for SNAP, Republicans did not respond very well.
Rep. French Hill (R-AK) stated, “Let’s think about that. Now, the Biden administration has not gotten the national defense authorization bill through the Senate yet.
“Something where we voted for a pay increase and for benefit increases for our men and women in uniform — we need to take care of them first and foremost.”
“Now what hypocrisy to turn around and say that we’re going to what, I’ve read to be, $560 billion of student loan debt next fiscal year, ballooning the deficit. So, it’s typical of the Biden administration’s mismanagement on both sides of the ledger and making a bad decision, an immoral decision to forgive student loan debt — a problem created by President Obama, I might add as a footnote — and, in turn, suggesting our men and women in uniform go on food stamps because they’re not adequately being taken care of by the Army.
“It’s wrong on both counts.”
Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) added, “And, in fact, we’re leaving early this week because Democrats can’t get it together on a spending bill to find money to pay to feed our troops.
“It’s crazy.”
It is already shameful how little troops make, especially those on the front lines.
Rather than giving away $10,000 on student loans to millennials and sending billions in aid to other countries, how about we just beef up the salaries for the men and women putting their lives on the line to defend this country?
Rep. Mace is right… this IS crazy.
