Generational curse. Her grandmother, mother depended on food stamps so this is the ghetto trash America created. And the government knows those sluts and whores sells there food stamps. These the same whore raising these super predators. Stealing cars, burglaries, murders, scammers. Always begging but wearing 200.00 dollar shoes. But nine times out of ten can’t read nor write. This is why I HATE ghetto people.

I agree. Commodities only. Healthful unprocessed foods. Bags of beans, lentils, brown rice. Produce. Plain milk, butter, eggs, blocks of cheese. Limited amount for inexpensive meats. You want treats and conveniences, you work and get off SNAP. In my opinion, people should not be able to use SNAP for necessities and cash for things that don’t qualify. If you can spend money on extras, the taxpayers should be burdened by feeding you.

Ok, people use the last of your benefits to stock up your pantries and buy seeds to plant gardens. There will be a lot of gardens going in coming the end of the last freeze. I'd bet the lines at the food pantries are going to get even longer now. We tired to apply for help last year but they said sorry you make too much and we weren't over that much so the idiot didn't do the calculations right? I have a 80 year old retire and a disabled son living at home and I am their full time caregiver and NO HELP! By the way, have fun with your lower income tax refund this year! As a small rural farmer NOTHING IS GETTING CHEAPER! FEED AND GAIN for our animals are going higher because their is a shortage of hay this spring OH AND BY THE WAY our country is at 90 million cows the lowest it has been in a long time. So beef will be going up even more. All foods prices will be going up about 30% this year.

Safety net programs Safety net programs typically constitute about 11 percent of the federal budget. This category includes all aid programs for low- and mid-income families that are not a part of Social Security or the major health programs. Examples include: Unemployment insurance Food stamps Low-income housing assistance Programs for abused and neglected children
People can grow a lot of their food in containers rather than let the government starve them. Potatoes carrots greens and other nutritious food can be produced this way. If people cooperate they can survive.
Got two "DEADBEATS" in my family. Both decided years ago there's got to be something better than work. Been on Disability for years and proud of it. Both have a spouse with plenty of money.
I know it's going to hurt some people but it will help people become more independent. I never liked government hand outs for food. Make better choices on the things you want versus the things you need.

I'm told I make too much money to get benefits.. I need two bones replaced in my neck and I'm having to work two jobs to keep my $375 a week room over my head in a hotel room..yeah I'm homeless. Yet people find a way to steal benefits and not work. GFY
I agree with the last comment of the video .. You want to eat? GO TO WORK ... Personally, I"m sick of standing behind SNAP and Food Stamp customers loading up on junk food - or perhaps even worse, PRIME cuts of meat and convenience foods. Though there are those (disabled, elderly) that need our help (and I'm glad to give it) more often than not we're handing benefits to the lazy ... I'm sick of it. Jobs are plentiful ... During the recession in the 70s, my late Dad worked 2 and 3 jobs (Mom stayed home with the kids) - He NEVER would have accepted a hand-out while he was strong enough to provide for his wife, kids and elderly parents/grandparents to boot !

People aren't aware that in the present time, unless you are disabled or physically , mentally unable to work (with medical proof) you HAVE to work in order to get assistance. It's a stipulation . You're assuming the system isn't changing as human behavior is changing. It is and has been.
in oregon ours are ending as well, and it’s tough, food prices don’t match snap benefits especially for extreme food allergies, food allergy items cost way more, and food banks don’t usually stock things like coconut milk for allergy people or gluten free flours.

the food industry, which depends very heavily on, for example, food stamps. For instance, Kraft says that one-sixth of its sales are food stamp-related. the Industry is well organized and criminalized. Everybody is making money. Everybody getting their share!! Walmart doesn’t pay its workers very well. And because it pays its workers so poorly, they have to rely on food stamps and food banks to make ends meet. So then, Walmart goes ahead and uses its charitable donations to pay food banks, to pay anti-hunger groups to support SNAP-which enables Walmart to pay its workers low wages. And then it also redeems about 1 in 6 SNAP dollars around the country.
I find beef liver to be quite filling. On the days I eat one meal. Also chicken hearts. Very very filling. Very difficult to chew though. Takes like 5 minutes of chewing per mouthful. On days I eat one meal. Quite inexpensive as well. Add a bit of real olive oil. I can even afford the real stuff. Money left over for my medical needs from the pet store. You lack discipline. Chicken heart hardly anybody eats them. In specialty meat stores often only two dollars worth is filling enough for full day. And absolutely saturated with coq10 for your heart. Even USA chicken. That's why me tell you now. So you believe me. Every late morning on empty stomach take two big garlic cloves pre saturated in raw honey and dice them put in water and olive oil let soak ten minutes and drink. For your heart. God bless you.
The SNAP money was probably money they sent to Ukraine instead of here. Thanks Joe...

A family went into food stamp office after one lost job during covid. The government employee told them they still made a little too much money, but if they got a divorce on paper they would qualify. This was not only encouraging deceit, but destroying American family. Corruption is rampant due to moral decay. BTW , sorry for your diagnosis. May God Bless you and comfort you.

The ending of free handout money helps to fight current high inflation. It also eases the difficulty for the small business to find their available workers.
IF YOU CANT AFFORD KIDS STOP HAVING THEM!!
I remember some years ago I was laid off and really needed assistance and I was denied real fast. The good thing is I found a job a month later however when someone really needs the support the government helps the wrong people.
we miss our food stamps, we had so much and nothing nothing. the food pantry isn't the same but we making it work
Also ladies try avoiding having more children if you can’t afford to feed them. One woman had a husband and they on food stamps? He needs to be working two jobs…no reason you married on foodstamps
So a Huge increase in Inflation and AFTER 3 years the rates go back to pre-pandemic levels? B.S.
Well it's time too learn how to manage your money and actually get back too work 👍
The last interviewed person is right. Free handouts have ended!
The lack of compassion I see in the comments is amazing but if you don't have an understanding about how this system has been designed the poor will despise the poor and love the rich. Wages in this country has not kept up with inflation which made the "middle" class believe the poor weren't working hard enough but this will change as this economy is falling apart fast and the "middle" class will become the "struggling" class because the CEO's are laying off those with big title management jobs and tech employees.

Many people are all in the same boat getting these dirt cheap wages. But not everybody getting paid dirt cheap wages is getting food stamps. The number one reason for poverty is people breeding on these dirt cheap wages. So, yes, in most cases it is these people s fault. It has gotten to a point where they are putting the elderly, physically/mentally disabled people and war vets on the back burner, denying them help. And if they are getting help it's next to nothing. And these are the people who can't actually work.

Real food that’s not loaded with salt and sugar is going to taste different but it’s better for you!
