The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.
The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.

Mr. "I Don't Take Responsibility At All" thinks the MASSIVE BLUE WAVE was because he wasn't on the ballot, not

Turns out folks prefer feeding the hungry over building expen$ive, tacky Ballrooms.
