Native Americans are 2% of the population, but get 1/5 of the SNAP benefits, too. Interesting.

FWIW, the woman at the store complaining was white, and very overweight. It didn’t surprise me to see the kind of food she was ringing up.

My real interest is why they even need SNAP in the first place. I understand that there are those who truly cannot fend for themselves, but I think they are a very small portion of the total. The US safety net is now too broad in that it spends resources on people who should be working. It’s a double-loss in that we spend tax dollars to support a labor pool that should be working.
