College students working at least 20 hours a week and earning no more than $1107 per month can qualify for up to $162 in food stamps per month. Even if their parents pay their tuition and rent...and can afford to buy their groceries.

If you are a college student, would you do this? If you are a parent, would you encourage your kid to apply for food stamps, even if you could afford all of their expenses?

My crystal balls tell me Ravi's answers:

No if Bush is President

Yes if Obama is President

or is it

Yes if Bush is President

No if Obama is President

Ravi, my the crystal need polishing

I'm sort of dubious about the numbers we're given here.

I know families or two and three making less than $1107 a month who don't get $162 a month in food stamps.

Maybe the numbers change state by state, but I find it hard to believe that food is cheaper in Maine than in FLA.

Household size 1
Gross monthly income $1,211

Net monthly income $ 931

No, you need to go back and read the thread.

going back and reading any thread that Ravi is in can be hazardous to you health. Dante can do it because he dons a haz mat suit every time he comes here
