Yup. The way it’s set up now, there is a disincentive to work.
Hey, I like Aldi....The blacks have not figured out the whole quarter for a cart thing yet.
I was born dirt poor, and I never took a dime of welfare in my life. I have worked since the fourth grade. I had a newspaper stand before I was old enough to have a newspaper route. Being born poor doesn't mean you have to stay poor.
And we are. The question is: how much? Food stamps are so high that welfare recipients can afford better cuts of meat and seafood that the self-supporting working class has to pass by.
I think it is on an earnings scale....many many many families would not be poor enough to receive the full amount Lisa posted. The average family household receives about $340 per month in total from what an A/I search says....
Nobody ever said SNAP people pay for Carnival cruise tickets with SNAP. The point is they have so much money left over after OTHER people pay for all their food that they can afford a cruise in the first place.
I’m saying the maximum is too high. A young woman with four little kids should not be getting $1100 a month for food, provided by other people. The fathers should all be paying child support. But they don’t have to because they know if their Baby Mamas have no income, other people will support their kids.
Another one who pretends not to understand per capita.
Jesus believed in PERSONAL charity, not the Romans providing it. If you want to give half your salary to people unwilling to work, go ahead with my blessings.
As an aside, see the banner at the top of the page in brown?

That is a violation of the Hatch Act. Just another example of the regime's lawlessness.
About half are children. You have no point. You just drone on while you collect the social security I fund. Youre a deadbeat.
Same point applies. You’re saying that 25 out of 100 SNAP recipients are black? That’s horrible! They’re only 13% of the population! Thus, they are twice as likely to be on the program than whites.
2 dozen eggs and 2 loaves of bread and cereal, etc., lasts a family of one adult and two kids breakfasts for a month?(Not sure where to put this, but mods can move it.)
Welfare beneficiaries will get half their monthly SNAP benefit for November. Let’s see how, with responsible choices, they can stretch that out. For purposes of this exercise, let’s say it’s a single mother with two little kids, who normally gets $750 a month. So…..how can she stretch the $375 for this month?
1) Four packages of chicken (16 main meals) at $35
2) Two pounds of ground beef (8 mains) @ $15
3) Box of spaghetti and sauce (4 mains) @ $5
4) 3 bags of frozen veggies @ $10
5j 10 cans of fruit @ $15
All dinners: $80 total
1) 2 Dozen eggs @ $8
2) Two boxes cereal @ $5
3) Juice carton @$4 (mix with water to stretch it out)
4) 3 gallon of milks (not sure, let’s say $10)
5) Package of cheese @ $3
6) Two loafs of bread $8
All breakfasts: $40
Kids get free lunches, so for Mom only (and weekends for kids)
1) Five tuna cans @ $10
2) Another loaf of bread @ $4
3) mayo @ $3
4) packages of sliced Turkey and bologna @ $10
5) apples, bananas, whatever, let’s say another $15
Lunches: $42
All basic meals: $162
Add in another $40 for pudding snacks, jello, bags of chips, etc., etc.
Still comes in around $200 for a basic “charity” diet for November.
Trump says SNAP will be half funded in November. What does that mean?
