A typical food stamp/SNAP beneficiary, according to YouTube. Funny, the video actually debunks myths about people getting delivery pizza and beer with SNAP House Republicans failed to pass a farm bill today, so they won't be able to impose fun new work requirements on food stamp recipients, because rightwing jerks in the Freedom Caucus wanted to force a hardline anti-immigration measure into the bill as well.

We'd normally point out here that SNAP recipients shouldn't worry, since the current authorization doesn't expire until September and the Senate is working on a farm bill, but last year, Congress blithely let the Children's Health Insurance Program lapse, so let's not get too optimistic about congressional renewal of anything except military spending, ever.
