Stephanie Lloyd asked:
The uneducated who deem that the food stamp program is wasted by the poor is incorrect. To say someone in America can live on less than 200 dollars a month for food is ridiculous. The cost of food in America is high and geared for profit, which is as it should be. To say that the uneducated and poor can not or do not know how to regulate or buy food is a daunting statement for America. Lately cost of food has risen as much as 10 percent per week, without regard to economic times in which we live. How can anyone live on less than 50 dollars a week for food.
Are we in the United States as callous to think that all people who use the Supplemental Nutrition program are ignorant, and idle. The unemployment rate is as as high as 10 percent of the country’s population. This means that over 3 million people in America are unemployed. Have all of these people who are now unemployed (professional, educated people) are now so “idle” that they do not know how to buy food. When did this happen?
Can the Food Assistance program be upgraded, of course it can? Did not the Federal government change the method of receiving Supplemental Assistance for food? Did the educated people who now have to receive assistance for food become uneducated in a matter of moments or minutes. Are we so drudged in contempt of a system that has aided the unfortunate and helpless in nutrition. Is there no compassion in America for the unfortunate that we have no compassion for?
Is America saying that the Supplemental Assistance Program is being used only to buy soda’s and non-nutritional foods? If that is the case, then why have the fast food companies in America also using this system, wherby the can get paid from the idle, uneducated, and the improvised?
