Part of me agrees, part of me doesn’t. It is abused. It’s much more than 10% of eligible people abusing it. The children and dependents, are what concerns me. They don’t deserve to suffer from the actions of others.

Because they brag about relying on ebt and have no plan to get off of it. I have no sympathy for those people.

The vast majority of people on SNAP are people who actually need it. The less than 10% of people abusing the system shouldn’t be the reason why tens of millions of people, including children, go hungry. No one should go to bed hungry.

Not saying I have no sympathy for all if them, I said I have no sympathy for the ppl abusing. The ones that are actually trying to get off of it I feel bad for.

I understand that but my post was about the people who won’t be able to feed their families next month, possibly longer

#1 said they love that this is happening, it’s a terrible and heartbreaking situation. It was ragebait that just wasn’t funny. I truly pray they find love and empathy for their fellow humans

The point of my post is that my heart is broken for those who genuinely need it and will be going hungry because of the shutdown. It wasn’t about whether or not people abuse the system. 70% of the people who are on SNAP are children, elderly and disabled people, that’s a fact. Another fact is that children are going to bed hungry, that’s what I’m focused on
