    Opinion: Trump’s budget would kill the food stamp program, on the claim that it discourages work. That's not true.http://nyti.ms/2s7FFeG

        Exactly. Many on food stamps are working poor: have minimum wage jobs . But inflation over several decades has far outstripped wage hikes

        I don't think suddenly doubling min wage is fair 2 employers though....there needs to be a graduated hike plan

        4)foodstamps to supplement serf level pay. Since working they also pay taxes that support snap. Right wing scizoid fantasies wrong.

        Yeah, GOP and right wing scizoids are interchangable. They are puppets of billionaires who reinforce classic stereotypes in a shell game.

        Contrary to GOP idiocy, SNAP buys FOOD, not rent, utilities, toilet paper,not cocaine, heroin, not bling-FOOD. No one thrives on that alone.

        No there's plenty of other government giveaways that allow people to live pretty comfortably without lifting a finger! SNAP is just 1 piece

        Miss the point-GOP think you can do anything w it. They're killing it all. NOT giveaways but real HELP when corporations won't hire, pay.
