    Ppl in my city are starving & the GOP wants to sit in their cushy seats in Congress and lecture my constituents about the need to cut SNAP, a successful anti-hunger program, that feeds nearly 500K Philadelphians. If that’s not a reason to vote in Nov, then I don’t know what is.

        Maybe the able body ppl should get a job instead of relying on govt hand outs therefore lowering snap ....

        Perhaps the able bodied do have more than one job but aren’t making a living wage. Working poor.

        Many on SNAP are elderly and veterans. Guess granny just needs a better job? The veteran needs to pull himself up by his bootstraps and better himself/herself? You really don’t know and aren’t aware of who hungry people are, do you? Educate yourself before you judge.

        Philly/PA has been under democrat leadership for years yet somehow potus 45 is the reason they’re in poverty? So before you want to start telling ppl to get educated you might wanna look in the mirror. Thanks and have a wonderful night

        Raise the SNAP rate to a more realistic nutritional index. A rate that accuratly correlates the food pyramid meal plan with cost of food.

        We aren’t, yet, living in the setting of 1984. Mandating food is not the answer. Education about nutrition and smart food purchases is needed. A can of chili, ramen, mac & cheese is cheaper than produce and meat. 1of 2

        That makes no sense, if people are starving, then the program is a total failure anyway. Just saying.

        Maybe this guy should do more to help the people rather than blame somebody else on Twitter?

        So 1 in 3 Philadelphians is on food stamps? If so, that is shocking and sad.

        It would be even higher than 33% No way Philly has 1.5 million people If you want to see true poverty, maybe we should look at the Appalachians or Haiti.

        That’s it, Dwight, keep em poor and dependent while making it look like you’re fighting for them. It gets the votes you need to keep your pockets lined for life.
