It is late October, so Adrianne Flowers is out of money to buy food for her family. That is no surprise. Feeding five kids is expensive, and the roughly $600 in food stamps she gets from the federal government never lasts the whole month. "I'm barely making it," said the 31-year-old Washington, D.C., native and single mother.
Starting Friday, the money is likely to run out even quicker.
That is when Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP, benefits are set to fall for more than 47 million lower-income people -- 1 in 7 Americans -- most of whom live in households with children, seniors or people with disabilities. Barring congressional intervention, the maximum payment for a family of four will shrink from $668 a month to $632, or $432 over the course of a year.

I’m curious as to what her t-shirt says MADEA GETS A JOB ?
Person in photo? Her name is Jennifer Donald. The person discussed in the article is Adrianne Flowers.
Jennifer Donald was the subject of a sob story a few days ago. Same story though. How her kids will starve to death if they don’t get that $30/month.
I suspect if the kids are hungry it’s because Jennifer is eating all their food.
“He did not say this because he cared about the poor but because he was a thief; “
exactly
“Although every time I ever gave anyone a job cleaning they resented me “
If they resent you, anything lying in the house that they could pocket was rightly theirs according to entitlement logic.
The lady has a popcorn machine behind her, an industrial type mop bucket off to her left and wine and liquor lined up on the mantle to her right. It seems maybe she should examine her priorities or spending habits before crying about these cuts.
Nah. People have a right to have all of that stuff!
Cut a dollar twenty a day, OMG. And the kids get breakfast and lunch at school 5 days a week. Give me a break,
YEP, ALL THOSE BOTTLES OF WINE AND LIQUOR....I WONDER HOW MUCH A MONTH SHE PAYS FOR THE BOOZE? ALCOHOLIC WELFARE DEPENDENT......WE HAVE A NATION HALF FILLED WITH THESE MOMMAS WITH FIVE KIDS AND FIVE DADDIES.
Not enough food but enough to have a lot of wine/liquor bottles on that shelf in the back.
I gave my alcoholic sister 200 for a furnace and she hated me for it
AND the candles. Got enough to buy candles spend it on food for the kids.
That pretty much sums up leftists, doesn’t it?
A bunch of thieves, hiding behind “caring for the poor”, and yet too cowardly to walk across the room and rob you directly,
they instead vote for thieves that promise to rob you, backed by the threat of nearly infinite resources and force.
...in fact, it’s so apt I think it’s about to become sig file material.
I’m not against helping people in dire need. All I would demand is that when you ask for assistance from the gov., you agree to be sterilized. Maybe I missed it, but I heard no questions asked of the woman with five children as to how long she’d been on welfare. So did she go on welfare after her first child? We don’t know. But why would you continue to pump out children? Sterilize these people now.
Just like Supplemental Security Income wasn't meant to be your entire retirement savings plan.
“Madea gets a check”
AS I understand it, they are only returning it to what it was before Obama liberalized it.
If you say so.
A (former) bff of mine does just that.
She and her hubby smoke 3 packs a day between them.
‘We’ are paying for those cigs.
