    Congressman Chuy García Retweeted NBC News

    Trump's SNAP rule hurts people in need during a time when too many are forced to stretch already-thin budgets to make ends meet. The truth is many SNAP recipients are either attempting to find work or face hardships that prevent them from doing so. #HandsOffSNAPhttps://twitter.com/NBCNews/status/1202297479556993024 …

        FS are often used as currency. It's not okay to say it's okay. It adds up over months and years. It's also detrimental to someone who might otherwise work for their food. Who wants Walmart quality anyways?

        In my state you have to have an income to get food stamps and that income must be below the poverty line! In my state you generally get welfare if you have children under five, after that they send you to work, of course, like everything else, there are exceptions.

        If the information I've read is accurate, it is restricting able-bodied adults who could work but dont. It doesn't impact families with children, the disabled, or the elderly. But they should provide job training & placement, education programs ect & not just cut people off.
