Now that SNAP benefits are on hold, keep in mind that 70% of the people on SNAP work full time. So in other words, they are not paid a livable wage working 40 hours a week.

ROB SCHMITT: People are using SNAP benefits to get their nails done, to get their weaves and their hair. This is a really ugly program.

SEN. RON JOHNSON: That program needs to be dramatically reformed.

Yep. I don't know how you would trade SNAP for getting your nails done but hey let's make something up for an us vs them argument so the "working" people on benefits in rural areas feel less bad about starving next week.

They are playing a dangerous game. This could turn people onto the fact that they have been lied to and conned. Hungry people generally want concrete answers.

In today’s America. The wealthiest country to have ever existed. The top 1% own 31% of the US total wealth. The top 10% own 70%. The bottom 50% own less than 3%.

Data is all over the place but anywhere from 50-70 percent of snap recipients work. Doesn’t say how many hours or what jobs.

I am not suggesting redistribution through government means. But why do we have such low minimum wage and argue that by increasing it would cause inflation, and stay mostly silent when executive and CEO pay has risen exponentially higher?

Im surprised people still believe increasing the minimum wage will cause significant inflation. We must have gotten a heck of a minimum wage increase the last 4 years. Wait, no that was a combination of supply chain issues caused by the pandemic and companies maximizing profits because they could use supply chain/lack of employees/other industries raising input prices/ect.
