What Are SNAP Food Stamps?

Did you know that one fifth of American kids depend on food stamps? Or that more and more working Americans use them because they don’t earn enough? Here’s what you need to know about SNAP – the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program.

Even $500 seems too low per month. If the people are willing to work then they ought to be helped a lot more and treated like human beings.

The government needs to raise the minimum wage, why should tax payers be responsible in covering the short pay of worker, while the CEO is making millions. Another option is to tax the CEO more, to subsidise the pay cheques.

If I did qualify for food stamps, I would have to work for job and family services 20 hours per week spending probably $50 in gas a month to get $100 in food stamps.
Fortunately I don't qualify and i still spend <$100/month on food.
