I get $196 a month in SNAP benefits to feed FIVE people. Yup. I have to try and make that stretch as far as I can and we still end up spending over $400 a month outside of that on food. What people don't understand is that SNAP benefits don't pay for cleaning supplies, toilet paper, kleenex, tampons, pads, razors, shaving cream or anything else that isn't edible but that homes need to be clean and all.
So when we have to use the money we reserve for the non-edible stuff, on the edible stuff, there's gonna be a problem. That isn't the only issue, but it's also going to take away from me being able to get my prescriptions every month.
I really hate this country.
We were on food stamps for years; 750/month for 7 people. And, as I had to work while my wife cared for a disabled son, there was no time to go to a food bank, which were only opened during business hours! And, my disabled son (who is going to turn 13) is not toilet-trained; at least $100/month of expenses just for that!

Food-stamps are a huge subsidy. We are already teetering on an economic recession. Makes me wonder if the white trash voters will continue to support The Donald when the economy tanks??
They're so fucking stupid they'll blame Obama.
Trump will surely find a way to blame him! His policies were the cause of the economic collapse; Trump is not to blame, ever! If aliens invade and conquer the Earth, remember, it was Obama's fault!!
