For now, Ainsley back knew Ainsley. Okay, thank you Adam. The Biden administration is set to approve the largest permanent increase in food stamps in history. Under the new rules, the average monthly benefits will increase by thirty six dollars. The new maximum for a family of four will go up by twenty one percent, and the plan is expected to cost another twenty dollars billion per year, but our next guest says these feel good policies are not good for you here now to explain: executive director for Cure America. Action incorporated MARC Little Good morning mark Good morning, Ainsley its good to be with you Ainsley, so glad to have you here tell us your reaction when you heard about this increase. Well, it saddens me because, as you said, feel good policies are not good for America and its associated and attached to whats happening in the economy with jobs. Joe Biden is really redefining work in America and our character with these stay at home benefits.
The reality is that we are paying people to stay home, and now we are making sure that they dont have to work because they have got food stamps. In abundance, we have got nearly ten million jobs available with nine workers, nine million workers available, and so we have got more jobs than workers, but yet these folks have been polled and they said that they are going to live off the largess of the government. That is playing itself out. So work brings dignity, work brings value, and when you pay people to stay home, you really do change the character of a family and of the community Ainsley MARC. This will benefit forty two million people, but costing the american taxpayer twenty dollars billion a year. How can we afford this? Well, we cant afford it, and this simply ensures that the nanny state survives another generation we spent over twenty two dollars trillion, trying to eradicate poverty. We cant afford it. Just like we
cant afford the infrastructure bill that was done, thats, not infrastructure. We are on our way a click slide into something that we dont want to really talk about, but its socialism and we are trying to break the system and its really a tragedy to see smart people really breaking the back of America with policies that have been proven not to work Ainsley we have seen cost goes up for food. We are seeing costs, go up at the gas tank as well or at the gas pump. How is this going to affect inflation? Is it going to make that increase as well? Oh, I think it absolutely has. No, absolutely it will with all of the policies that are happening with garks regressive taxes, its really hurting the american family were not focusing on the american family and im very concerned about that. Because we are, we are paying people to do nothing while the things that we have to pay for with food gas, and so many
other things were not creating an environment that allows a family to thrive. Ainsley more government spending MARC little thanks so.
