There are currently more people on food stamps in the United States than the total population of Canada. This explosion in welfare dependency did not happen by accident, and despite current record-low unemployment and millions of open jobs, welfare enrollment remains at a near all-time high.
Even worse, much of the welfare expansion has been to able-bodied adults, many without kids. There are nearly 21 million able-bodied adults on food stamps, nearly four million of whom are younger than 50 and have no kids at home.

Food stamp "benefits" should NEVER be allowed to accumulate. At the beginning of each month they should reset to the "authorized" monthly amount ONLY.
ReplyDeleteTHAT should be #1 on the "reform" list.
Rotten to the core.
DeleteJust apply them to a very limited list of basic foods. Chicken, rice, local fruits and veggies. Milk only for children under 6yo. If you want salt with that, buy it yourself. Food assistance should be suffucient to maintain health, not happiness. And it's a supplement, not all encompassing nutrition.

Yes have 'welfare' revert to 'relief' as it was originally.
