this is for the people that think that everybody that's on snap is abusing the system

if you are a elderly person or disabled person seems to me like you fall under the category that you should receive food stamps or snap not everybody that draws snap is abusing the system but the system should be more accountable and only give snap to people that need it not people that just want it because they want to spend their money on other stuff and have the government by their food I don't think $80 is really enough for food for a month but you have to realize that this is a supplemental program that means you have to buy other food to go with it in order to stretch it out for the month. I know several people that work and they just don't make enough money to pay all their bills and buy food so this program is really good for them because they can use what money they have left to go with their food stamps to make them last for the month.

People’s negative attitudes toward snap benefits are so wrong!

I’m a disabled senior, and was getting snap, until the government decided I make too much money. With high rents, increasing utilities, groceries getting more expensive every month I have to be very careful about what I spend on food. I eat a lot of ramen, oatmeal etc. I don’t eat very healthy because I can’t afford it. I have had several caregivers who received snap. These women are working and doing their best to keep a roof over their heads, but the help they get from snap makes a huge difference in their children’s lives. They would be malnourished without it. Then you’d be saying the parents should be jailed for neglect. What’s the big deal about buying a damn cake for a child’s birthday? All of you who say snap should be stopped because people are lazy and don’t work are ignorant, and lack empathy. You should be ashamed!
