A fifteen dollar an hour minimum wage also means, less people on food stamps.I took this off the net, it's probably correct:
SNAP benefits cost $70.9 billion in fiscal year 2016 and supplied roughly 44.2 million Americans with an average of $125.51 for each person per month in food assistance.
Not sure why some people are always freaking out over food stamps since the money does go right back into the economy and food stamps do a lot of good, like feeding kids whose parents can't seem to do without assistance for whatever reason. Is there abuse with food stamps? For sure, there's abuse in all systems, even the department of "defense", which goes into the trillions.
Only the right wing complains about both.
