My family relied on food stamps (EBT) when my dad died at 48. I was a student. If this happened then, we might’ve just starved. Now, many people will. It’s shameful how the GOP works overtime to create freebies for the rich while dissolving lifelines of those who need it most.

Do you see how you lie to people! Do you see how you may be telling the truth in one way but twisting the truth in another. This does not apply to the mothers with children, this applies to men & women sitting on their butts doing nothing Which have no dependence no children.
