According to the #FoodBankNYCChallenge, needy families are given $29 per person as part of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, known as SNAP, after Congress cut food stamps twice since 2013.


“Assistance”, not replacement.

Also, the food stamp programs were expanded as part of the 2009 “throw money everywhere” budgets. Obama’s saying things are nearly all better now.

Most of the leftists who claim the amount is too small forget the part about "per person". For a family of 4 the subsidy is $116, and as is immediately apparent that is quite a lot of food.
