And that doesn’t include the taxes your children will pay/are paying due to the education they recieved while not having to worry about housing or where their next meal will come from

My friend posted this on Facebook : Dear Red America: the shutdown is not an opportunity for SNAP recipients to man up and get a job, because the recipients don't get the money directly. Grocery stores are reimbursed by state and federal governments for transactions on an EBT card, which works much like a prepaid debit card. And that revenue benefits you too. How? Glad you asked. 😉 According to the best estimates Kroger collects more than $9 billion a year in SNAP reimbursements and Walmart collects well north of $20 billion (they are the 2 largest recipients of the program, which is budgeted to about $100B a year federally). Kroger in its most recent fiscal year had net income (that's income above its costs and debt service) of $3.8B on revenue of $147.1 billion, and Walmart had net income of $19 billion on revenue of $681 billion. Grocers very often run at profit margins below 4 percent, outside of holiday seasons. Which means, conceivably, a long enough interruption in the SNAP program can be the difference in whether these companies are profitable in a given period or not. And if they are not trending toward a profit, there are basically two options: close stores and lay people off, or raise product prices. After all that inflation we just went through, you could be headed for another bit of sticker shock. So even if you don't believe data that suggest SNAP beneficiaries mostly have jobs already, or just believe in kindness to the less advantaged, do know that this potentially affects your bottom line as well. Thank you, carry on. 👍

My tax dollars went to the war in Iraq and military aid for Israel. I don’t give a shit about someone “scamming” the system to eat regularly. Birthday cake and steak on “my dime” does not upset me at all.

Or they’re people who did work their whole lives and became disabled, like my in laws. They’re supposed to starve after all they contributed?

I’ve always assumed the vast majority of people want to make more than the maximum amount you can make and still get snap. I wouldn’t trade my income for less income and snap. Meaning—it’s there to help people when they need it.

Another funny thing that I’ve noticed is it it’s the people that have abused them. They have the biggest problem with other people being on it lol or people that haven’t worked in years lol

Most of the people who are on it for a long time are disabled. The disabled also deserve to eat.

All of these benefits also help stimulate the economy. Even if someone is on benefits for decades I’d imagine it benefits society. I know in my area a lot of farmers markets match up to like $30 on snap each time you go there. So that’s up to $60 per snap card being used in a local farmers market.
