S.N.A.P

I'm not sure how many times I've seen people post things about the S.N.A.P. program (formerly Food Stamps).
They say cruel things like,
  • I work for those lazy people
  • Those people buy better food than I do
  • All those people should be drug tested
  • I have to work so those people can eat
  • Those people are like animals
  • ETC....
I feel sorry for the folks who complain about people on the S.N.A.P. program. We should pray for them! I'm not sure they understand the whole program and what it is about. For a detailed information on this program you can check out this site http://www.fns.usda.gov/snap/applicant_recipients/eligibility.htm

I myself am on the S.N.A.P program and I am happy it is available. I WORK too! With the economy the way it is, this is a much needed program. This program not only helps feed America, but it helps the local economy. Just think without this program how many hungry people there would be! How many grocery stores would go out of business or have to layoff people? This is an Agricultural program so it also helps American Farmers.

The next time you see a person use an EBT card for food, why you stop and count your blessing that you don't have to be in that situation, instead of judging people who are!!! I'm sick to death of self righteous people complaining about less forunate folks!

If you've never had to be on the S.N.A.P. program then consider yourself forunate and appreciate the fact that you can help people out. God forbid you ever have to be in this situation, it's far from a FREE RIDE as some people say! It's pure survival!
