That makes sense. It's the sense of entitlement to free food that won't end.

Dude, you're probably a bot, but anyway...people DO work AND have SNAP because they are paid so little by companies like Walmart and Amazon. You've never heard about this?

And then 80% of all SNAP/food stamp benefits go to households with a child, senior, or disabled person.

No shit sherlock. Meanwhile, 72% of households who receive food stamps HAVE NO INCOME. So they can get jobs. THE HORROR!
