I'm floored at her audacity of saying she's not going to come out of pocket to pay for her groceries!! Well why in the heck does she expect us, the tax payers, to come out of pocket to buy her groceries?? The entitlement is off the charts!
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.
This is what naive citizens don't talk about because those are tax payers money we didn't agree to have our money sent out of the country supposedly for another countries support
Is why the rich should pay their share in taxes. But thanks to chump and the republican party they leave it up to the middle class and poor to foot the bill.
I buy my own groceries. I don't go out to eat. Cut my own hair. Don't get my nails done. I also don't breed irresponsibly. Or make frivolous trips, I ration my car fuel. You all need to learn to budget. Only the weakest should be on government rations. Not the laziest.
@Lucky me...right there with you! People need to live within their means. The elderly that do not have much need help, the ones that keep popping out kids, that seem to not be able to afford the ones they already have, they just keep having more.
I've worked since I was 15. There are jobs available. I'm not against people receiving help. I'm against the widespread abuse of the system. People who have worked are being told they may not receive their retirement. Yet our tax dollars are helping to fund these programs.
I'm over 65 years old and still working three jobs. Every day I see young, able bodied people on the side of the road with signs asking for money to eat. If they would get off the drugs, I'm sure they can find something. We have so many government programs to help people who don't work, and the people who are paying into the system get to pay higher taxes, higher prices and have more an more of our labor stolen by the government. I'm losing my sympathy.
People could work less/retire earlier/work a job where they’d be happier although it pays less, if they weren’t burdened by people taking advantage. We are enslaved by the able-bodied.
I found myself homeless after 2 back surgeries during that same time frame I was diagnosed with cancer had the flu and an abscessed tooth. I still tried to make it to work. Before surgery in so much pain I'm crawling to the coffee pot. Then I see these folks holding signs. No judgement. But dang if a 63 year old with serious medical issues can still get up and try...my dad used to say you can either pump gas or flip hamburgers. Don't make yourself useless. I despised the man but I listened to what he would say. Keep a roof over your head check your oil. Don't order pizza if you can't afford it. I've lived this way for a long time.
But what God . God also says not to worry about food and clothing . Why are we worried about Food and Clothing so much in time world under This God . This isn’t God Creator they was talking about .
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.
So you think we should spend a massive percentage of the programs money on administering the program? It costs money to control what people do and do not buy at the granular level. It is more cost effective to say "Here is a chunk of money for food. If you spend it all on soda... you wont recieve more money to actual food. Plan and shop accordingly"
@@Ms.NoNo2 Eggs, cheese, milk, tofu, beans, and legumes are sources of protein. People need to learn about nutrition, especially if they’re getting money that others worked for.
Reading thru the comments...a lot of self-righteous people. I'm elderly, & handicapped. When this ends, I'll get $23/month, like a most elderly people. And I live under the poverty level. I'm grateful for what I have. In MY THINKING, only the vulnerable, under poverty level, elderly should have food stamps.
Most elderly don't have it good. Depending on SS . If a person doesn't workall their life, they don't get ANY. Work sucks...but I'm glad I get my SS. Not much left over but it's doable, if you watch your money.
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.
@@alh5470 Can I inform you of something. Toxic air, water, and soil is nothing new. Governments have been contaminating stuff for years probably since the end of WWII. My husband remembers running through the DEET spray as a kid and then years later we were told ooops it causes cancer. They sprayed that crap everything. You are going to have to take a chance by raising your own food this year because when WWIII starts you wished you had something in your pantry to eat. China is starting to align themselves with the new axis powers.
@@justagirlnamedshawn at this point I have anxiety about housing, dealing with bad roommates.o can't afford the parts to fix my car to get inspection sticker,kid ran away from home for 3days last week,my brother thinks he has bugs for 2years, cutting his skin open daily, probation for 1year,for something I didn't do,in April it will be 1year living in my car,my daughter ran away and showed up at my house I rented a room in last April, sleeping on porch,my roommate changed locks,took my name off mailbox and left my belongings in her apt,not able to get them,went to court,got back in,her brother threatening me,hung up gun target poster in the hall,she sprayed Mase in crack of my door in my room,and took a dump on the bathroom floor,then gave me notice to quit,so I took my clothes and left
What about the rest of us Americans that work and get no help whatsoever 🙄. Some people do need it but they are some that are just using the Austen instead of getting a job😒. I work my husband work and I food preserve , dehydrate , have a garden and pressure canned , maybe if people stop being so needy and learn some skills it won’t be so hard on them. Not trying to sound mean but you can do allot and make changes to better your self and your family.
When I was growing up I remember my mom was on food stamps temporarily. She volunteered at my preschool while she went to school and then she got a job and got off food stamps. I personally have never been on them. I do believe there's people that really need them *as well as those who cheat the system). However, they should never be permanent...only until you get on your feet.
Yeaaa the government supplements large corporations like Walmart. Ppl can be mad at the citizens all they want but the truth is the gov and these corps are in bed together and gov pays Walmart grants to hire from low income communities. Walmart then underpays those ppl to receive more grants and the gov fills the gap of Walmart by paying for food! This is just business in america. The way to always have control over those at the very bottom.
Natasha YES IT NEEDS TO BE A CUT OFF LIMIT BECAUSE SOME OF THESE INDIVIDUALS HAVE NO INTENTIONS ON GOING TO WORK OR DOING ANYTHING BECAUSE THEY'RE BEING ENABLED MEANWHILE YOU HAVE A SENIOR CITIZEN RIGHT NOW DEBATING ON WHETHER TO GET FOOD OR MEDICINE JUST AWFUL
You know who is on SNAP when you see their shopping carts overflowing while everyone else has a few items in a mini cart screw these able bodied entitled freeloaders
For real. I live out of the pantry. I cook 3 fresh meals a week and maybe eat out once or twice. But I'm a daily shopper and it's always what's on sale. Btw I receive zero benefits. I never like asking for handouts. I've been entitled to disability for years, but never applied. It would help but I'd rather be poor than live off the govt teet.
This government is especially evil. They contribute to the destruction. May suspicious things, shutting down energy independence! open border= 5 million illegal aliens,! The list goes on & on. The gall of him to even say he will run again. Obama might be getting tired. It is his third term. They make you hate them when they attack you.
My husband has 2 aggressive cancers and I'm disabled we get our ssi and snap benefits for food ..and my husband works 40 years into system and I worked also ...so to me my husband and I put in and earned the right to use the snap benifits....and I won't have anyone try make me feel bad...my husband worked up till 2 years ago now he fight daily from from cancer and I have to take care of him the best I can
Ssi is federal welfare! If you get ssi its either cause you paid very very little into social security,major gaps in employment history or No work history. People Dont pay into ssi like social security.ssi comes from the federal income tax general fund.So Hard Working Tax paying people pay for you to get ur ssi=federal welfare check. Ssi is not social security its a needs based program= socialism-welfare put lipstick on the ssi check and its still Welfare
Well thoes that are in your situation or similar should get assistance. It's the ones who are able bodied and are just plain lazy to work etc and work towards independence is the problem
Marci this is a gimmick how could you not know......but you did what you had to do to get by .......and with a pare of bimbo your bag what can one say right......right!Monica is cool but them guys are to blame for her distorted thinking
While getting the extra benefits who stocked up on dry beans and other stable items? You can make several meals on dry beans, cornbread and fried potatoes for the same price you can buy junk food, froze pizzas, ect.
I sure did. Beans, rice, flour, sugar, coffee, potatoes, cooking oil and butter. My family won't go hungry and I have been dropping applications everywhere. I am 63, retired, and barely make my bills. I want to work. Hopefully I will get called in for a job soon!
Yes! This right here. People need to learn how to cook and budget. I left a DV situation with 2 kids and was on SNAP for a bit, but I was determined not to stay on it. Now I am working more and saving and off Snap but good lord I’m thankful I know how to cook from scratch and be frugal.
Wages are so low in America, there's no guarantee you'll be able to eat and pay rent. Looking at all the homeless people its already a harsh reality for some.
Nothing new, been broke my whole life so this don't effect me. Yall snap folks will get use to it and adapt, so no worries. Eating cup noodles ur whole life ain't that bad.
@@niki9638 Well if you want Adults to go to work. Then you should MAKE ALL THE KIDS TO GO TO WORK. LETS GO BACK TO PRE-1900 CONDITIONS where kids went to work instead of school. OH and cut school funding too. Obviously we don't need that
I grew up poor, my family never took govt assistance. We made do, didn't live outside our means. I applied that logic in my life. When my friends all had fancy cars, big houses. I lived within my means. I retired at 45.
That is true . I don't work and therefore I shouldn't eat . I am sorry that I am an amputee , sick all the time from chemo and radiation ,Can barely walk , bleed in bed and have stage 4 cancer with three inoperable brain tumors .
My sister in law who makes 40k a year and owns her own home has her boyfriend living with her, he makes almost 200k a year. She lies on her food stamps application that she has no others in the house contributing to bills .... She gets $1000 a month in food stamps and just went to the Dominican Republic on vacation.... My household makes less than hers, paid over 40k in taxes , WE get NO free food and NO trip to the Dominican.... I know probably 5 other households that are up to the same antics.... Makes me ANGRY 😡
They bitch about people needing help but make it so damn hard to get ahead and get off the help….speaking from experience it took a few of my friends years to be able to do it ….if they find out u have any side money at all they take things away and it’s the side money ur trying to save so u can get ahead and get off of the help when u know u got enough to keep ahead
Yes and especially young single moms like myself of 3, and do work. That’s how the government gets you to rely on them. When there is no child support or a man to pay the bills
The young like me can work but they decide not too. We need to work to help the ones that do need it like the elderly and veterans that can’t work. Yes I understand that it’s hard to find work but they can be places to work to support ur family
I agree with that woman at the end. Many of these peeps are too damn lazy and don’t want to do jack squat and depend on free handouts. My family is just about to be middle class and we have barely made end meet but we have been able by grace to work and out food on the table on not depend on food stamps unless an absolutely dire situation…. Stop being lazy and get some energy and get a job and help your family. Period.
Im a single mom and i work 4pm to 1230am and i receive stamps and medicad and paying rent i work and pay taxes so im not going to complain i thank God eceryday i love Jesus my job my daughter and life 🤗💕💜💜
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 !
Eggs are no less than 5 dollars a dozen across the country and you want to shame people WHO WORK for needing assistants to pay a grocery bill and keep a roof over their heads?! No. The last ladies response was tone deaf and hopefully she doesnt find herself in need later, because INFLATION will eventually effect her too if this continues.
Only the system is responsible for this and it is upsetting that my income is middle and I can't even afford a decent grocery run however I do agree it should be used for the elderly or disabled victims of domestic abuse certain cases but it is not to families that needed most
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.
I took 2 jobs to finish my last yr in college with my toddler needs and paying my car as well. I did it. I didnt whine. I went out and put food on the table for me,toddler and my grandma
I'm terminally ill and can't work so I don't have a choice. But it is upsetting to see families getting over 800 dollars a month and they are all obese including their children. Too much is going to the able bodied just because they have children and over half have a husband working who do not report them as well as rental assistance.
You just described one of my neighbors. She actually gets close to $1,000 a month in SNAP benefits(all the kids are obese), rent assistance, and has a bf living with her that she doesn’t report to the county.
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. Sweet peace and love.
Maybe people should have planned their life choices out a little bit more better through the course of their life until you pay into a benefit you should not receive a benefit, happened 15 babies by 10 fathers does not make you eligible
Or could the GOP that supported that 2 time impeached president you know the 1. Why not have all of his grifter GOP millionaires pay that PPP money back & help folks in need!!
In the remaining 32 states, DC, Guam, and the U.S. Virgin Islands, which are still providing emergency allotments: March 2023 SNAP benefit amounts return to normal for all SNAP households. For households that also receive Social Security, their SNAP benefit may decrease because of their higher Social Security benefit.
The number one reason for poverty is people who continue to breed children knowing damn well they can't afford it. That never of that woman who said " I am it about to come out of my own pocket for 400 to 500 dollars In food" blew my mind. I guess she should have thought about that before she got pregnant the 3 times that she did. Nobody is going to say it. But enough is enough already.
@@ashleyhanson-xf4sp I agree.This is why a womans bodily autonomy and right to choose are so important.Contraception should be available and affordable to anyone who should need it,dont you agree?
@@tigressofforli3398 Yes. I definitely agree. Condoms, birth control, morning after pill. These are all over the counter. And are all affordable. People just need to invest in using them....🤷🏾♀️
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.
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.
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
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.

You all realize it’s not the peoples fault? It’s the fact that companies pay you dirt cheap while they take the money you earn. Businesses are taught to keep money from employees by making their wages as low as they possibly can. Raise the minimum wage.
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.
a can of black beans was 1 dollar or less, now its 2 dollars for the same can. so they are cutting food stamps in half, but it has not been ajuted to the new costs
Dry beans are cheaper and easy! All you do is pick out the rotten ones and soak them overnight. Strain and add to a pot with some broth and seasoning. I remember when canned beans at WM were $.50 a can and even then it was expensive compared to dry beans. Most are hooked on convenience and the fake artificial crap made by food MANUFACTURERS. Real food that’s not loaded with salt and sugar is going to taste different but it’s better for you!
The issue isn't about people working, it's about wealth inequality. Workers productivity is way up, corporate profits are way up, worker pay and working conditions are way down. The Bible also says that a worker is worthy of their pay. Shame on the ruling class.

She was only explaining how little she gets for her money...
God bless you dear lady
Who said she wasn't?
you are so salty 😂 some people all work in the household and it still isn’t enough.
Not sure who told y’all that ppl that receive snap don’t work but they lied to you. In most cases you have to work to even qualify!
Must of been nice for people that get free food stamps. I'm a single father of two children of 9 yrs now and I'm approved for $0 a month.
I think they should go back to a time when only certain foods were eligible. Not all food products should be eligible under snap or wic
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.

So you think we should spend a massive percentage of the programs money on administering the program?
It costs money to control what people do and do not buy at the granular level. It is more cost effective to say "Here is a chunk of money for food. If you spend it all on soda... you wont recieve more money to actual food. Plan and shop accordingly"
@@genxx2724 “limited amount for meats…” y’all hate people buying protein with their benefits. It’s so weird. People NEED protein.
@@Ms.NoNo2 Eggs, cheese, milk, tofu, beans, and legumes are sources of protein. People need to learn about nutrition, especially if they’re getting money that others worked for.

I'm elderly, & handicapped. When this ends, I'll get $23/month, like a most elderly people. And I live under the poverty level. I'm grateful for what I have.
In MY THINKING, only the vulnerable, under poverty level, elderly should have food stamps.
They should definitely keep it going for people in your situation, but when you see people just keep popping out more kids.....just no.
Most elderly don't have it good. Depending on SS . If a person doesn't workall their life, they don't get ANY. Work sucks...but I'm glad I get my SS. Not much left over but it's doable, if you watch your money.
Social security won’t be available to the next generation…things will be worse for all who paid into to it their entire lives and get nothing…
There are food pantries available to supplement your grocery needs.
I didn't see anyone making fun of the elderly who need them. U are fake news and an alarmist
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.

@@alh5470 Can I inform you of something. Toxic air, water, and soil is nothing new. Governments have been contaminating stuff for years probably since the end of WWII. My husband remembers running through the DEET spray as a kid and then years later we were told ooops it causes cancer. They sprayed that crap everything. You are going to have to take a chance by raising your own food this year because when WWIII starts you wished you had something in your pantry to eat. China is starting to align themselves with the new axis powers.
"Government big enough to supply everything you need is big enough to take everything you have."
Exactly.
But they’re not taking anything from them , they still receive the food stamps but just the regular amount not that extra extra Covid-19 food stamps.

When I was growing up I remember my mom was on food stamps temporarily. She volunteered at my preschool while she went to school and then she got a job and got off food stamps. I personally have never been on them. I do believe there's people that really need them *as well as those who cheat the system). However, they should never be permanent...only until you get on your feet.
Yeaaa the government supplements large corporations like Walmart. Ppl can be mad at the citizens all they want but the truth is the gov and these corps are in bed together and gov pays Walmart grants to hire from low income communities. Walmart then underpays those ppl to receive more grants and the gov fills the gap of Walmart by paying for food! This is just business in america. The way to always have control over those at the very bottom.
Natasha YES IT NEEDS TO BE A CUT OFF LIMIT BECAUSE SOME OF THESE INDIVIDUALS HAVE NO INTENTIONS ON GOING TO WORK OR DOING ANYTHING BECAUSE THEY'RE BEING ENABLED MEANWHILE YOU HAVE A SENIOR CITIZEN RIGHT NOW DEBATING ON WHETHER TO GET FOOD OR MEDICINE JUST AWFUL

For real. I live out of the pantry. I cook 3 fresh meals a week and maybe eat out once or twice. But I'm a daily shopper and it's always what's on sale. Btw I receive zero benefits. I never like asking for handouts. I've been entitled to disability for years, but never applied. It would help but I'd rather be poor than live off the govt teet.
I'm 61 and work.
They won't give me 25bucks.

Ssi is federal welfare! If you get ssi its either cause you paid very very little into social security,major gaps in employment history or No work history.
People Dont pay into ssi like social security.ssi comes from the federal income tax general fund.So Hard Working Tax paying people pay for you to get ur ssi=federal welfare check.
Ssi is not social security its a needs based program= socialism-welfare put lipstick on the ssi check and its still Welfare
Well thoes that are in your situation or similar should get assistance. It's the ones who are able bodied and are just plain lazy to work etc and work towards independence is the problem
Marci this is a gimmick how could you not know......but you did what you had to do to get by .......and with a pare of bimbo your bag what can one say right......right!Monica is cool but them guys are to blame for her distorted thinking
If there was work 40 years you would not be getting food stamps. You would be getting enough ssi money to cover everything. Doesn't add up!
Girl ain’t nobody talking about disabled and elderly people. We are talking about the welfare kings and queens
While getting the extra benefits who stocked up on dry beans and other stable items? You can make several meals on dry beans, cornbread and fried potatoes for the same price you can buy junk food, froze pizzas, ect.
I sure did. Beans, rice, flour, sugar, coffee, potatoes, cooking oil and butter. My family won't go hungry and I have been dropping applications everywhere. I am 63, retired, and barely make my bills. I want to work. Hopefully I will get called in for a job soon!
You sure can. A nice balanced meal at that.
Some people don’t have food storage or a way to cook.
Yes! This right here. People need to learn how to cook and budget. I left a DV situation with 2 kids and was on SNAP for a bit, but I was determined not to stay on it. Now I am working more and saving and off Snap but good lord I’m thankful I know how to cook from scratch and be frugal.
I did, and now it's helping my family in hard times.
Wages are so low in America, there's no guarantee you'll be able to eat and pay rent. Looking at all the homeless people its already a harsh reality for some.
so send more money to Ukraine...

The government wants people totally dependent on them.
Some people who got food stamps, still worked. Had to or there wasn't enough to keep the household going.
They bitch about people needing help but make it so damn hard to get ahead and get off the help….speaking from experience it took a few of my friends years to be able to do it ….if they find out u have any side money at all they take things away and it’s the side money ur trying to save so u can get ahead and get off of the help when u know u got enough to keep ahead
@@NovemberRain-1975 Exactly 💯!
Yes and especially young single moms like myself of 3, and do work. That’s how the government gets you to rely on them. When there is no child support or a man to pay the bills
The young like me can work but they decide not too. We need to work to help the ones that do need it like the elderly and veterans that can’t work. Yes I understand that it’s hard to find work but they can be places to work to support ur family
I know some people are in need, but the bulk of you should get off you comfortable behinds and get back to work... the party is over.
I agree with that woman at the end. Many of these peeps are too damn lazy and don’t want to do jack squat and depend on free handouts.

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.
How about they stop getting their nails done 😒
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 !
yeah...cut off the food so you can send more money to Ukraine which is much more important then American citizens...BWA HA HA
Eggs are no less than 5 dollars a dozen across the country and you want to shame people WHO WORK for needing assistants to pay a grocery bill and keep a roof over their heads?! No. The last ladies response was tone deaf and hopefully she doesnt find herself in need later, because INFLATION will eventually effect her too if this continues.
@Sabrina.....and they get their nails done, hair done, nice phones....
Only the system is responsible for this and it is upsetting that my income is middle and I can't even afford a decent grocery run however I do agree it should be used for the elderly or disabled victims of domestic abuse certain cases but it is not to families that needed most
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.

I'm terminally ill and can't work so I don't have a choice. But it is upsetting to see families getting over 800 dollars a month and they are all obese including their children. Too much is going to the able bodied just because they have children and over half have a husband working who do not report them as well as rental assistance.
You just described one of my neighbors. She actually gets close to $1,000 a month in SNAP benefits(all the kids are obese), rent assistance, and has a bf living with her that she doesn’t report to the county.
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.

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.
