I mean, after all, it\u2019s free. Why wouldn\u2019t they come get it? The idea is to save money. The idea is to change the culture. Now, the poverty pimps are never gonna go for this. But, hey, we\u2019re giving away free food instead of giving you a debit card, and if you want the free food, the food stamps are about quality food. It\u2019s not about, you know, the junk food aisles. And so we\u2019re gonna make sure that you get the best nourished food, we\u2019re gonna give it to you, gonna come to our distribution center to pick it up.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-252068\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Food-stamps.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"276\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Food-stamps.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Food-stamps-300x207.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/>And you watch. This is akin to saying, &#8220;Hey, I\u2019ll support amnesty if they can\u2019t vote for 25 years.&#8221; &#8220;Screw you, Limbaugh. There\u2019s no way I\u2019m supporting that.&#8221; Well, thank you, you\u2019re proving your point that it\u2019s not about kids, it\u2019s not about the people, it\u2019s about future voters. I just told you that I would join you in granting amnesty to however millions there are, but they can\u2019t vote for 25 years, and you can\u2019t support that. I thought you cared about the people.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve offered I don\u2019t know how many times over the years to support amnesty if the newly recognized cannot become citizens for 15, 10 years, 15, 25 years, whatever it is, can\u2019t vote immediately. Not one Democrat has offered take me up on it. Same thing here. Food stamps. We want to help people who can\u2019t afford food. We\u2019re gonna give them food. They have to come pick it up. Nobody on the left\u2019s gonna support this \u2019cause it defeats the whole purpose of the program. The purpose, Santa Claus does not make you go to the North Pole. You do not have to climb up the chimney to get your stuff. Santa Claus comes to you.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Administration officials pointed out that USDA already distributes commodities. Currently, such food items are largely shipped to schools, food banks and other organizations &#8212; which in turn distribute the food to those who need it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Why not do that with the food stamp program? Well, it used to be done that way. I\u2019m gonna tell you something. When I was growing up, we had a family friend, he was a farmer. His name was Norman Weiss. And somehow Norman got welfare cheese and butter. And, folks, I\u2019m telling you, you had never tasted, the butter, you couldn\u2019t buy it. I asked my dad, &#8220;How in the world &#8212; this is delicious.&#8221; And it was in giant blocks and in giant circular patties, like circles of cheese. I mean, it was huge.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-264552\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/APP-021418-Trump-Foodstamps.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/APP-021418-Trump-Foodstamps.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/APP-021418-Trump-Foodstamps-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/>We called it welfare butter, but it was the butter that was given to the poor. And it wasn\u2019t Land O\u2019 Lakes and it wasn\u2019t lightly salted or salted. I mean, USDA was written all over it, and it was unbelievable. I still have never tasted butter like it. The cheese I don\u2019t remember, but I imagine the cheese was &#8212; the butter, I\u2019ve never forgotten how it was packaged. I\u2019ve never forgotten how it tasted. And I\u2019ve never forgotten my dad\u2019s comments about it. He-he-he-he-he. That\u2019s Norman Weiss\u2019 laugh, by the way. He-he-he-he-he. Anyway, it was fun listening to Norman. He\u2019d talk about an atomic attack now and then.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: The poverty pimps are never gonna go for this.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":56,"featured_media":264552,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","ngg_post_thumbnail":0},"categories":[12,1],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v17.6 -
