JPC, have you considered working for the USDA?

One in seven Americans are on food stamps, but the government is pushing to enroll more — in many instances working to overcome Americans’ “pride,” self-reliance or failure to see a need.


“Millions of low-income people are not accessing the nutrition benefits for which they qualify,” the “myth” sheet explains. “To be effective, it is important that our national and local outreach efforts counter myths about SNAP among those who think they are not eligible or have beliefs that discourage them from enrolling.”

USDA claims that eligible people who do not participate are actually harming their communities by preventing additional funds from entering their respective economies.


“If the national participation rate rose 5 percentage points, 1.9 million more low-income people would have an additional $1.3 billion in benefits per year to use to purchase healthy food and $2.5 billion total in new economic activity would be generated nationwide.”

Yes I am on SNAP as I get everything and more.

The backward idea that we must be too proud to take any assistance is a blind stupid concept.

actually, since it comes from taxpayer dollars, we do have the right to know.
and it is a matter of public record and easy enough to find out.

I think I will.

and to be honest, you could be a bit more respectful of those that support you and a bit of thanks now and again would be nice too.

You do understand that we work and pay tax so you can kick back with a fake disability and drink and watch your big screen all day right? just a simple
Thanks for supporting me would be nice.
