I've been on SSI since 92 and I was only getting around $400.00 a month and when I got food assistance from SNAP it was a miracle itself and I'm 64 years old have PTSD anxiety and severe depression. I was only able to eat once a day back then. And snap helped me as I wasn't able to hold down a job due to stress and PTSD and my depression. The idea that food is so expensive and I broke my back Snap has been a life saver since I don't drive and have no way to get to the food banks where I live. Now I'll be back to eating peanut butter sandwiches and toast and I butter. I feel like the government wants to dispose of the seniors and those that are just making it month to month. In my 64 years of life I never thought the government would take away food stamps that I rely on to eat two meals a day. I blame both sides of government for not willing to stop taking away from the lower middle class down to those that doesn't make more than 12,000.00 a month or not pay this bill just to try and survive. Sadly that's what it's come down to the Rich getting richer and the poor even more poorer. #SNAPBenefits #SNAPLife #SNAPTalk

#SNAPBenefits #SNAPLife #SNAPTalk Here is what's important,people. There are many states that have revenue from marijuana sells. And its a lot of money. They can take money from that to put into snap programs. And the states that don't have that, then we need to ban together and help them states. Because it is not like you won't get reimbursed once the government opens back up. Don't let the government win this way. There's going to be riots if something isn't done. Good people are going to break the law so they can feed their families. Break-ins in people homes. The list of bad things keeps going and the worst is still to come. In my state of Missouri,the revenue from recreation, is split three ways and two ways on medical revenue.And the license revenue pays for employees etc... and the amount is posted online. And there is more than enough to do this. We're talking millions of dollar's from marijuana. People have to eat.So im asking our Governor to do the right thing. Take money from the marijuana program and feed Missouri, and help ban together to help out at least one other state to feed their people. Governor what would you think ,Jesus would do.

Working 40hrs a week and receiving SNAP benefits to feed their families shouldn't happen.

I don't care what a person does to make a living whether it's McDonald's or someone in a suit and tie behind a desk. Everyone deserves respect, dignity and a livable wage. When someone working 40hrs a week needs food assistance I blame the employer. A 2 parent home shouldn't need both parents working full time and pay someone to raise our children. We are letting corporations dictate our lives and we are missing out on raising our children with our values. We need to stop demonizing those who work for less pay and start asking ourselves why multimillionaire Companies refuse to pay a livable wage. For those who struggle I hear you and see you. You are important #SNAPBenefits #SNAPLife #SNAPTalk
