At the same time that million$ are spent on food stamps, we are told child hunger is still rampant so we have to send food packages home with school kids on the weekend and set up summer feeding programs.

$o where does all the food stamp money go?

The children are fed free breakfast and lunch at school and sent home with food at night. The parents are flush with cigarettes, tattoos and weaves and wigs.

Illegals use their food stamps to fill their stores and send home to their family.

Welfare is an underground money system funded by taxpayers.

Cut it off, set up grocery stores with basic healthy foods.

It is a fascinating question and the answers are several and complex. The reasons it is allowed to go on are just as complex and full of guilty feelings that we must not let anyone go without in our efforts to provide for the needy. I think this includes assuming that a certain percentage of SNPA card benefits are sold illegally, traded for cash or swapped to others for non-eligible items at a 50% discount of the benefit price level. Thus, enrollees swap/sell maybe half their benefits for cash at that discount and then can use that to buy Detroit Tigers baseball game tickets, concert tickets, booze, cigarettes, and non-food household items. Maybe more than half, so much that they cannot feed their kids in the summer time when school is not in session. Thus, the sending home of weekend and summer meals to kids because their guardians are squandering their SNAP benefits on drugs, alcohol, smokes, and necessities that are not covered by SNAP as well. You can give people money but you cannot “live” for them and make better choices in their place, unless they are in jail.

KIDS GET FOOD AT SCHOOL.

FOOD STAMPS ARE CALCULATED-—BUT NEVER MATCHED WITH THE FOOD PROVIDED AT SCHOOL

DOUBLE DIPPING
