When reading these posts, I see such a wide variety of opinions concerning SNAP. People need to work, quit relying on the government, quit aiding illegals, the list of reasons that people suppose others are on SNAP is quite incredible honestly. I have a bachelors degree in engineering, and have worked hard all of my life . I do not have much to show for my hard work, and have suffered a lot under our system. I have attached a graph of where the money goes . If you watch the green/blue line (that is us) the middle class was created at the end of World War 2. And that wave or bubble continued until 1970. From 1970 on working Americans started to experience struggle. Why is that? There are several reasons honestly for this division of wealth to relapse as it has. Part of it you can blame on Nixon and legislation that he put in place. Part of it was OPEC demands( these are the oil folks). Part of it was a disastrous trade war with Japan that our companies just simply were not prepared for. A fair days pay for a fair days work! This would be wonderful if it were true here. Since 1970s , this has been impossible. Essentially this is my entire working life and I have always been underpaid for the work I have done. One question to ask yourself is this: what is profit? What does that actually even mean? If you take a careful look at wealth distribution and how it occurs, you quickly realize that capitalism in the United States has gone out of control. They do not follow the works of Adam Smith, “ I make money, you make money “. In the USA, it is “I make money and you do not .” I am not going to go into a whole expose of this horrible, horrible system designed to squeeze every last ounce of blood from the citizenry, but offer an observation of SNAP. The people that can work that receive SNAP do work. These claims that so many are just kicking back and receiving benefits is false.
