On the one hand, there are any number of ways in which benefits can be misused.

On the other hand, $40 a month does not seem sufficient to feed a child.

And handouts are just plain wrong. They remove the incentive to better oneself and get a well-paying job. At the very least, anyone who is able-bodied should have to perform some kind of work in exchange for the handout.

“And handouts are just plain wrong.”

You’re looking at it from the point of view of human compassion, behavior, incentives, responses to those incentives, etc.

But, the objective is NOT to feed the needy. Nope, the objective pure & simple is to BUY DEMOCRAT VOTES.

This is on top of all of the other snap benefits they are getting. You have to already be signed up for snap to get this $$$.
