Chart (lemmy.world)

ETA:

For accuracy, the chart is old (2014) and references discretionary spending instead of mandatory which is where programs like SNAP (Food Stamps) generally fall

However, even accounting for all that properly, at the time of the meme, food stamps would have still been just 2% of the federal budget. Thus the spirit of the meme is still good.

Unfortunately that resulted in an extremely useless echo chamber full of circle jerking, JAQing off, bootlicking, whataboutism, and sealioning.

Oh, man, I was curious about how people would actually act on this community, but it seems I decided to not check on the one week it got from zero attention, to overflowing with bad behavior, and felt down!
