It doesn’t tell the ‘true’ story because states are not uniform. It does show that if California, Texas, New York and Florida were ran more like Wyoming huge savings could be achieved. Going on food stamps has become far too acceptable. We should never have instituted such a system.
“”It doesn’t tell the ‘true’ story””
Of course it does, it’s why they use per capita because the size of populations all vary. This is not complex.
A Texas family told me they went on food stamps and a few days later became employed. They tried to get the food stamps cancelled but was told they were retro-eligible for 3 (or 6?) months so weren’t taken off the dole. Never heard of the retro thing. The family continued to use them even though dad had a 3 figure job.
