U.S. Army Recommends Food Stamps For Soldiers Struggling With Inflation
Sep 11, 2022

 
The Political Insider reports:

The U.S. Army is recommending soldiers apply for SNAP benefits, also known as food stamps, to help cover their rising costs from inflation.

The U.S. Army cites the higher prices on a range of goods because of inflation in its recently released official guidance.

“With inflation affecting everything from gas prices to groceries to rent, some Soldiers and their families are finding it harder to get by on the budgets they’ve set and used before,” the guidance written by Sergeant Major of the Army Michael A. Grinston reads. “Soldiers of all ranks can seek guidance, assistance, and advice through the Army’s Financial Readiness Program.”

The guidance points soldiers to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program and links them to the federal welfare program’s website.

Rather than directly addressing the causes of inflation?

Right back to the worst days of the 1970s.  Before we know it, government issued cheese will be back.

Hey! Government issued cheese was more binding than a treaty. I'd pay for blocks of 'American Cheese' like that if they were in the store.
