More than 3/5 of the 40 million people on food stamps have JOBS. You're not paying for their food, you're paying their employer for their low wages. The rest are either disabled or too elderly to work. Even those who abuse the system do not drain a fraction of the amount of tax dollars that corporate welfare (subsidies) do. We will ALL eventually be unable to work at some point. Not all of us are so fortunate to be in a position to save enough money for retirement or potential disability that prevents us from working any more. Is it really asking too much for a system that relies on our labor, skill and consumption to give a little back? The whole point of living in a society is to benefit as a whole and ensure the survival of everyone. We are allowing the 1% to dictate what the 99% can have. Feeding children, regardless of the circumstances should ALWAYS be a top priority. Hunger is not a policy tool and people are not pawns on some imaginary political chess board. #SNAPBenefits #SNAPLife #SNAPTalk

I believe there are a lot of people that need assistance with food and other things like housing and health care. With that said I also think it would be worthwhile to make sure those that receive these benefits actually need them. I have not personally needed help from the government but knew people that did. #SNAPBenefits #SNAPLife #SNAPTalk

As someone who is unemployed, I do receive SNAP. BUT I also budget and buy things in bulk to freeze them for later, and to have a stock of ingredients to make food. I don’t just buy ready made meals that are 1 and done. If you cannot cook, learn. Get healthy ingredients that won’t spoil, and secure the other ones so they don’t expire. I know how to mix ingredients to make healthy meals. Milk, produce, and breads I pick the cheapest options and I’m also a coupon clipper so I get the most bang for my SNAP bucks. It’s all about preparing for this sort of situation. #SNAPBenefits #SNAPLife #SNAPTalk

Everyone, PLEASE get this straight: Funding #SNAP has *NOTHING* to do with the federal government #shutdown. They are two entirely different issues. • The emergency funds to pay SNAP benefits are ALREADY IN the USDA's current, eexistingbudget. The $5 Billion is there, in the #USDA account, ready to be distributed to states. Trump and Republicans refuse to authorize it. Trump even removed the text from the #OMB and USDA websites that say so. • #Georgia is sitting on $21.5 Billion OF OUR tax dollars in surplus and rainy day funds. Gov. Kemp refuses to use any of it to pay for the 1.4 Million Georgians who rely on SNAP to feed their families. His excuse is that if we use tax money to help the people who paid the taxes, it will lead to a chain reaction of other Georgians expecting our state government to help them. What gall! Taxpayers expecting their taxes to benefit taxpayers! #SNAPBenefits #SNAPLife #SNAPTalk

Please don’t cut off my SNAP. I am almost 75 and not able to work. #SNAPBenefits #SNAPLife #SNAPTalk

I believe that everyone that ton SNAP, with acception of over 65 should have to apply every month! If there not using their benefits as they were awarded for no matter the situation they need to be removed permanently! If they are fraudulently applying they should be permanently banned!!! If you’re able bodied and younger than 65 and have a disability you should receive benefits! If you’re single and able bodied get your ass to work!!! #SNAPBenefits #SNAPLife #SNAPTalk

In 2020 I had to give up my CDl because I had a Pacemaker put in. I lost an income of $1,800 a week,My wife and I was denied SNAP Benefits because she made $1.00 too much.We had to start going to Food Banks just so we wouldn’t go hungry.Why is it based on household instead of individual circumstances.? #SNAPBenefits #SNAPLife #SNAPTalk

Hundreds of thousands of dollars will be spent on Holloween junk food using taxpayer, not tax receivers, SNAP benefits. Same will hold true during the December holiday season. SNAP funds must only be used for life sustaining foods. #SNAPBenefits #SNAPLife #SNAPTalk

Lazy people need to get their lazy ass together and look for job! #SNAPBenefits #SNAPLife #SNAPTalk
