Which is worse providing food assistance to a family that might be able to scrape by without it or denying food to a family that needs it and that results in hungry kids.
I don't have a problem with making the snap program slightly generous in ensuring that no one goes hungry. I think it is a bad idea to kick millions of families out of this program.

I am not sure how they came up with millions kicked off...

Do you think there are that many fraudulent recipients?

I read the whole thing...

I did not get any answers...

What I learned is that people will need to apply and be approved for financial food assistance.

Why is this not acceptable?
