(2)Couple of points for those following along....
(a) Notice how this 25% increase in food assistance is directly opposite of the administration claim that "inflation is temporary and transitional".

(3) Again underlying the specific point...
... "In order for ideological leftists (Alinsky types) to continue advancing their ideological belief systems they have to pretend not to know things"...
That truism is the origin of their hypocrisy.

(4) And... if you know how the game is played...
(b) Now you know the underlying financial mechanism behind why the GOPe (DeceptiCons) in the senate agreed to go along with the "infrastructure spending".
[ie. This BigAg deal was already in the background. They were bought off.]

(5) If you don't know how many billions of billions are related to this seemingly innocuous +25% move, let me provide some context.

(6) Part of the BigAg lobbying in the food industry is to advocate for the expansion of U.S. taxpayer benefits to underwrite the costs of the domestic food products the multinationals control.
(7) By lobbying DC these multinational corporations get congress and policy-makers to expand the basis of who can use Food Stamps, EBT and SNAP benefits (state reimbursement rates).Expanding the federal subsidy for food purchases is part of the corporate profit dynamic.
(8) With increased taxpayer subsidies, the food price controllers (BigAg Multinationals) can charge more domestically and export more of the product internationally. Taxes, via subsidies, go into their profit margins.
(9) The BigAg corporations then use a portion of those enhanced profits in contributions to the politicians.
Yup, it’s a very lucrative circle of money.

(10) .... and now you know why the GOPe were open to supporting the "infrastructure spending package".
It's a quid-pro-quo
