But what does it say about one of the more profitable companies in the US when it pays wages low enough that its employees are eligible for public assistance even when working full time? Are they not making their profits on the backs of taxpayers?

More military families used food stamps to buy milk, cheese, meat and bread at military grocers last year.

The situation with pay for the lower enlisted ranks is better than it used to be, but what does it say about the American people when their congressmen are clamoring for more money that the $174K they already make, yet the men & women who go off to war sometimes leave families behind who are at least partially subsisting on Food Stamps?

That’s absolutely shameful, is what it is.
