You guys want to talk about food stamps, here we go. I was just like every other poor person in this country. I was a kid that came from the ghetto I came from a family full of drugs and mental health issues. my mom was a crack addict and she did nothing but live off of welfare for her whole natural life until she died in 2021 at the age of 63. At 17 on my own, I was on food stamps I was on all the assistance you could get, besides what I got from my father for child support which I used to pay my way with rent and utilities. my father was kept out of my life BECAUSE being on welfare was just a better situation for my mom. Well foster care didn't really work out well when it comes to taking care of your kids, and drugs don't work out very well when it comes to taking care of kids. So I worked my butt off and used the tools that TEMP assistance has to become a CNA. At the age of 22 I was working for the county I lived in as a CNA and from there I worked my butt off and now I'm an LPN and I pay my student loans, have been paying my student loans since before I graduated. if you need to stay dependent on the government then you're not living life the way you should, if you're popping out three four five kids then you're not living life right, if you're doing this ALL ON WELFARE then you're already starting your kids off thinking that everything just keeps handed to them. No I'm not saying that everybody should just get off of food stamps, but there's a limit to how much me as a taxpayer should have to pay, and where it should go. Now I understand it's important but my taxpayer dollars are not going to go toward illegals and the fake asylum claims while they're marching in the streets flying another flag and Americans are dying because they're getting behind Wheels and they're stabbing people and they're raping people.

America. Let's have a talk. I understand that people think it's unfair that there are these people that get these benefits and you always question, "Why do people get these when I can't get them" or "Why can these people get these benefits while I have to work 50-80 hours a week just to make ends meet." Let's just get something straight. A huge majority of these people are people that aren't reasonably able to work those types of hours either due to having children or because they are on social security and only allowed to work a certain amount of hours a week. These are people, that work either in places like Walmart, Sam's Club, and other varying companies that doesn't pay a true livable wage. (I know in certain areas of the country they make way more than they do in other parts of the country, I'm not naive just making a general point.) 95% of the time, people who receive SNAP are in the lowest part of their lives where the only thing they can do is lean on these benefits to even be able to eat. Let's stop looking down on these people and realize that at the end of the day, you are looking at someone who is down on their luck and just need that helping hand to try and survive. Food is expensive. Healthcare is getting ready to skyrocket if the ACA credits are not extended. Food is overall unaffordable for many people and that's where SNAP comes into play. Just please stop acting like they are a problem and just realize they are a symptom of what's truly going on. #SNAPBenefits #SNAPLife #SNAPTalk
