In this episode, The Tenth Man unpacks the SNAP panic: forty-two million people “losing benefits,” the myth of American hunger, and the reality of how many safety nets already exist. From WIC to TANF to SSI, TEFAP, school lunches, and the Earned Income Tax Credit, we explore how a nation that calls its poor “starving” can also call them obese.
Our host shows how media misrepresentation turns welfare into a moral virtue, and how the very people who fund the system are treated as villains for asking where their money goes. Compassion for the truly needy is noble — but robbing the middle class to feed the lazy is theft.
When a nation treats the consumer of taxes as holier than the producer, it’s not feeding the poor — it’s starving freedom.
Commentary on trending issues brought to you with a moderate perspective.
