Okay, someone please explain our government to me.
When Tatum was a baby, I quit my teaching job to be home with her full-time. Back then, I applied for state medical assistance, and honestly, it was a lifesaver for a few years. But here’s where it gets funny.
I was part-time at GCU (living that professor life), and the state really wanted to help me. They offered me food stamps, but I never took them. I said, “Thanks, but no thanks.” You’d think that was the end of it, right? Nope.
Fast forward to years later: 2019 through 2025, they’re still calling, mailing letters, auto-renewing things I never asked for, and now… drumroll please… I get this shiny new “SUN Bucks” card in the mail for Tatum. It’s a government-sponsored “summer nutrition” program ; $120 in free food!
Y’all. I didn’t apply. I didn’t ask. I didn’t even wink in their direction. Yet somehow, here we are…. still on the government’s “we insist you take free food” list.
I’m over here like, “Guys, I’m okay! Really!”
Meanwhile, they’re saying, “No, seriously, we insist. Take this EBT card. For the children.”
So now Tatum’s got her very own “SUN Bucks” card; our state’s way of saying, “We care so much, we’re just gonna send it whether you like it or not.” My TAX dollars at work.
I love the waste that you and I get to pay for.
Can someone explain why the Democrats think the best plan is to take from people who work hard and then force help on people who never even asked for it? I mean, I’ve been there : I know what it’s like to need help, but this “we’ll just give it all away anyway” approach is wild. So basically, Democrats think the solution is: take from the earners, give to everyone … even those who don’t need it. How does that make sense?
Maybe I should just use it to buy Cooper some dog treats and call it a day.
