So the post linked in that thread does explicitly state that the economic reasons aren’t why SNAP should be supported/funded, and instead that it should “…because it is a moral imperative to feed the hungry.” They specifically say that these arguments are “…why even a growth-oriented ghoul shouldn’t oppose it.” Gotta be honest I don’t really have a problem with what’s being said here in that context. It’s not really different than pointing out what @reaper_cushions@hexbear.net posted here.
The OP mentioned morality. I can’t know if he or anybody else in that thread actually cares. But as I said in a different comment - he named himself after a West Wing reference in Latin. I don’t think he actually cares. But it’s notable that libs only remember the hungry and the needy when they can score political points. Look what the GOP is doing!
