    1600 rent. 1000 day care. 1500 car payments. 800 grocery. 200 gas (for cars). Bills 300.

    My fiance and I make around 6k a month and it’s not enough.

    This is insanity even with snap.

          Even with a car payment being $750/month, that’s a pretty fancy car from my perspective - and represents the average car payment for a new car.

          I think that these folks could keep up with expenses much more easily if a few minor compromises were made (namely, a cheaper car).

            I drive 35 to 40k miles a year for my job. I only get new because I’d rather pay and have a driving car than pay and have one in the shop for the same price.

            My car was 40 and full electric so I don’t have to buy gas and my fiance’s car was 25k. Those two car payments and and insurance we pay around 1500 a month.

            But it’s not the cars that’s a problem. I choose that luxury. Be it for practicality or showing off. What I don’t choose is to live ina 600 squarefoot Apartment for a thousand dollars more than it should be. Or daycare for 250 a WEEK!

            Even if I lowered the price of the card for 500 a month, 800 a months it wouldn’t help.

    I wonder if the GOP are going to use the snap funds as an attempt to win elections by blaming the Democrats.

          The party in charge of all three branches of government.

          Granted, one of them isn’t supposed to be partisan, but it certainly is.

          Granted, one of them is the office of a president who once said “If there is a shutdown, I think it would be a tremendously negative mark on the president of the United States”.

          Granted, one of them is the only (legal, defined) pathway to fixing the other two. And they only have that because of a combination of Gerrymandering, campaigning on fear, voter suppression, and because we haven’t changed the size of the house since The Reapportionment Act of 1929 (almost 100 years ago), when the population was literally 1/3 what it is today…greatly weakening how much representation people in densely populated states (which tend to align closer with Democratic ideals).

          But yeah. It’s the Dems fault.

    The GQP doesn’t give a fuck about kids; they only want to fuck kids. It’s well past time for all republicans to face the consequences.

      As a way to control women they care that the kids are born. Then it’s survival of the fittest until the strongest reach military age, then they are sent to kill brown people and secure oil and resources.
