The question is bogus. There are few 1-person-per-household SNAP beneficiaries.
The better question is, can you afford to feed 4-5 people a day @4.50/each = 24.00/day? You certainly can, if you rattle those pots and pans.
Breakfast is taken care of by WIC: eggs, milk, cheese, and the schools; lunch is taken care of by sandwiches and chips, and the schools, and dinner is taken care of roasts of beef, chicken, pork, etc with rice, beans, pasta, garlic bread provided by the food pantries, and the schools.
Show me a skinny food stamp recipient and I’ll try to give a damn.
No the $4.50 a day is a lie. A simple lie.
The better question is, can you afford to feed 4-5 people a day @$189/31= $6.10 each.
That requires no effort at all.
Not every family gets WIC and I believe it is only available for kids under 5 years of age. Some of you are so misinformed and in the guise of being conservative - have become hateful to those who seriously do need help. Sure, there is fraud, but show me a government program that isn’t ripe with fraud. I’m more angry over the refunds given by the IRS to dead people and those behind bars. Yet when this subject hits the forum - everyone jumps on board with their cute little remarks. I’m also more upset about the money spent on the debacle that is known as obamacare. This money could have been given to every American instead of pouring it down a rat hole. The only people entitled to government money though are the politicians and their cronies.
