They did not used to take it but that has changed.

Most food stamp recipients work and every dollar (based on the gross, not the net) lowers the benefit. According to your local food bank the AVERAGE is 138 a month or 4.60 per day.

It shows how generally meager SNAP benefits really are. <br /><br />Of course I'm one who says instead of just doing 30 or 40 cents rises in the minimum wage, double it to $14 or $15 an hour. The economic benefit to that would be interesting to watch. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
