'I'm Fat Because of The Government'

[Desdinova]

She apparently doesn't have enough money to eat healthy:

Briggs already receives a remarkable $36,000 a year from the government.

Plus she pays absolutely nothing for monthly home expenses. She lives in public housing with her two children by two different fathers. Including housing, healthcare and miscellaneous reimbursements, Briggs receives more than $62,000 a year in total government largesse, more than many executives. This is what Briggs calls “limited” benefits?

But Briggs thinks she should get even more. “It would be good if the government offered a cash incentive for me to lose weight.” Closer Magazine reported.

Maybe 3% of Americans are disabled in some way that means we will need to take care of them.

The rest of public assistance is to help people through a rough spot.

Instead it's become a multi-generational way of life and a way for Progressive elites in DC and state capitols to live well at the expense of taxpayers.

The giant multinational companies who control the world's food supply are big supporters of the welfare state. Junk food is the most profitable to sell; that's why it will never be restricted. Even junk food makes more sense than some things you can buy with welfare, like diet soda, prepared sandwiches, and birthday cakes. I'm still waiting to hear the benefit (to anyone besides Pepsico) of making tax payers buy diet soda for poor people.

Blaming welfare recipients for the welfare state is like the special kids breaking their playground equipment. Even though it's their fault, getting mad at them is not productive. Someone with more brains and power should have built better equipment. But they probably just sold out to the biggest corporate contract.

The whole day costs less than many single fast food combo meals. It's not a glamorous diet, but a perfectly tasty and healthy one.

Tired of the lie narrative the left has been pushing for the last several years that "nutritious food is so expensive that low income people are forced to eat fast food, locking them into a cycle of bad nutrition and obesity." That may be true somewhere, but not anywhere I've lived or am aware of. For the most part it's complete politically motivated horsesh-t aimed at yet more larger, powerful govt, taxpayer subsidies of people's awful life choices and behavior.
