The issue is that most of the benefits are being paid by the Fed and State gov. When you look at the fact that a large portion of Walmart’s income comes from food stamps, I have to ask if they are really a private company anymore or a make work program for welfare.

Walmart is not the reason a large portion of their income is from food stamps. The reason is this administration thinks the more people they have on food stamps the better and are encouraging many people to get food stamps that would not have previously been accepting them. There is an actual campaign going on to get people on disability, food stamps, medicaid, etc., etc. Walmart happens to sell groceries so they do benefit from all those on food stamps, but would also make money if the economy was better and few were using food stamps.
