So then shouldn't all of the food stamp money go wolfhowwl2014-01-27 13:02:20to feed the child or elderly person, rather than the entire range of adults in the household who are neither children nor elderly? I don't recall where food stamps were supposed to be there for the entire family's food budget.lvgYa...I'd rather be a slave to the government § snake2092014-01-27 13:01:55lvgI am ok with single payer... § libandproudd2014-01-27 13:01:42chiIf the parents are seriously harmful to the kids wolfhowwl2014-01-27 13:01:00then I do think foster homes are needed.

But I do think this country is so large that it is not difficult for some to hide within our systems and essentially ride the coattails of the rest of us.

ObieBlows2014-01-27 12:46:49A top House Democrat slammed Obamacare’s inability “to work” — but only after he announced his impending retirement from Congress. 12-term Virginia Rep. Jim Moran, an Appropriations Committee member who said this month that he will not seek re-election in 2014, said that not enough young people are signing up for Obamacare coverage to make the law work. “I’m afraid that the millennials, if you will, are less likely to sign up. I think they feel more independent, I think they feel a little more invulnerable than prior generations. But I don’t think we’re going to get enough young people signing up to make this bill work as it was intended to financially,” Moran said spki don't really care anymore L_Bee-082014-01-27 12:46:41another day, another shooting.stli guess u r right, being right doesnt TeaPartyTime2014-01-27 12:45:04necessarily mean clever wicthe "?" means i'm asking a question.

But the article points out that the primary focus originally of food stamps (children and the elderly) has now been eclipsed by adults of working age. That's a profound change we did not anticipate when endorsing the food stamp program.sacReal intelligent post.

These vulnerable households receive 83% of all SNAP benefits.[i] -SNAP eligibility is limited to households with gross income of no more than 130% of the federal poverty guideline, but the majority of households have income well below the maximum: 83% of SNAP households have gross income at or below 100% of the poverty guideline ($19,530 for a family of 3 in 2013), and these households receive about 91% of all benefits. 61% of SNAP households have gross income at or below 75% of the poverty guideline ($14,648 for a family of 3 in 2013).[ii] -The average SNAP household has a gross monthly income of $744; net monthly income of $338 after the standard deduction and, for certain households, deductions for child care, medical expenses, and shelter costs; and countable resources of $331, such as a bank account.[iii] http://ift.tt/ZYJDVh
