Pamela Maria+FollowAt this point, I think Trump and both parties in the government suck. Why because the millions of people who are on snap rely on it so that they can feed their families and children, are going to lose it and I don’t think that’s fair. They don’t take into consideration the amount of people who are going to go hungry because the majority of the people cannot work for some reason or another. They get to go home to their families because they get paid thousands if not millions of dollars and they’re not gonna starve.  the worst time of the year to take food out of peoples mouths Thanksgiving, and Christmas to the biggest holidays and they decide to do this. They need to come to some agreement they have the money they have the funds they just don’t wanna release it for the snap program and they should at least for November and December shame on our government and on the president. They should be ashamed of themselves.  the American people are not happy about this decision. They are already talking about looting and stealing. I feel sorry for the stores. It’s just unbelievable.  #SNAPBenefits #SNAPLife #SNAPTalk00Share
James Croskrey+Followcompassio in our times#SNAPBenefits #SNAPLife #SNAPTalk Many employed people including members of the military recieve SNAP and would not be able to survive without it. If certai d politicians actually cared about ALL AMERICANS they wouldn't go on vacation until the problem was resolved. Is SNAP fair? It depends on who you talk to. Me personally, I have no problem with SNAP. For the disabled,elderly, and financially challenged there is room for improvement. NOONE IN AMERICA, ONE OF THE WORLDS ECONOMIC LEADERS, SHOULD EVER GO TO BED HUNGRY.22Share
Theresa Anne+FollowSNAP is a great program because I absolutely do not believe ANY child should go without (because of their parents decisions), but we also need to come to terms with the reason this is even a thing… the government shut down, because a particular sect decided 13 times they won’t reopen the government to save said benefits and discuss this civilly. That’s the facts of the situation at hand. Are there people that abuse the system? Absolutely!! But that’s not what we’re focused on at the moment, what we SHOULD be worried about are the kids!! They are innocent in all of this. Stop penalizing them. #SNAPBenefits #SNAPLife #SNAPTalk114Share

Debby+FollowI'm for feeding the homeless and the US citizens living on our state streets. But when it comes to snap, no I'm not for feeding illegal entries. If truth was actually told more illegals especially from Mexico are supported more then our own citizens. Go to a grocery store and you'll see all the illegals with their snap card and they're buying junk food and loading up $200 worth of crap. I worked 40 years was retired physically unable to continue employment through the Army and when I finally applied last year, I was given $30 a month. Why am I not entitled as the illegals are? I have my little $12 purchases at a Walmart and the lady behind me has a car full of junk food oh sure how she could afford it as she was a Mexican? She informs me, she gets over $200 a month in benefits. and reiterate she has a child she has to feed. And then don't stop me there go to the food banks and they're being literally raped empty by illegals. there will actually push people off to grab an item items and I've seen them walk out with three four carts there is a limit but not to your illegals. The laws have to change on how your distributing the cards, and it should be to legal American citizens. Protect our own and do a lot more investigation of who you do give the snap cards to. I have no prejudice against people, race, color, sex, age etc, but I'm against the way our government takes care of we United States citizens. Remember "we can't pour from an empty cup".. We can't help others if we deplete our cup take care of America first.. Thank you for your time and listening, but take action as well. Save America My respect Debby.. #SNAPBenefits #SNAPLife #SNAPTalk10Share
Mark Reno+FollowI worked at a homeless shelter for a couple of years, during that time 6 of our residents were arrested by federal authorities for selling their Snap benefits. They usually get .50 cents on the dollar. Then a lot of them use Snap benefits for food stamps booze as they call it, Snap benefits will buy cooking sherry/wine & vanilla extract. One guy said there's a certain brand of food coloring that's about 9 % alcohol. Also the uses for hand sanitizer however that's a different story. All this occurred in a small town of about 50,00 so expand to that to the entire US. #SNAPBenefits #SNAPLife #SNAPTalk11Share
Sandy Wilson+FollowI lost mine because I make too much money. I’m 69 and need to have a baby to get anything. But, our government doesn’t want to take care of seniors. Now they are going to starve the rest. #SNAPBenefits #SNAPLife #SNAPTalk00Share
