Even so, the fact we still have over 42 million people collecting food stamps is staggering. How did we ever get to such as state?

I've spent my entire adult life slogging off to work, paying my bills, and minding my own business. I would never even consider having somebody else put food on my table for me. I would feel so guilty sitting around the house benefiting from other people's work. But there are few who think like me, obviously.

This entitlement mindset is destroying us utterly.

I'm glad that Trump is chipping away at it but 42 million people on the dole in this country is still a huge problem and I don't know how we fix it. Once people have become accustomed to a life of leisure - provided by the sweat of others - it's hard to get them back into the labor pool.

SNAP should be run like un- employment you have to work so much and can only collect so long. None of this lifetime benefit plan.
