SNAP bill Thoughts

 The SNAP bill should not be passed. Food stamps have helped poor Americans get through the days to be able to feed there families. The majority who are voting for the bill to be passed are the Republicans, and it is known that they want Americans to be more independent, but the SNAP bill will only make things worse for those who are struggling with money. If food stamps were to be taken away, then families would have to decide have to make sacrifices. Instead of the money that parents use to pay for their children's new school supplies, new clothes, or new shoes, would have be used on groceries. Children will have the issue of out growing there clothes and shoes, but probably will not be able to buy new clothes or shoes until three months, five months, or maybe even a year depending on their family's financial situation. For school, children need gym uniforms, and now schools are starting to use the Internet to increase their students education ability, and a family who is having financial issues probably does'nt have the money to pay for new clothes, Internet, or even a new computer if they need one. This are just a few reasons of why the SNAP bill should not be passed, and these few reasons are great ones on their own.

  1. I agree that the SNAP bill should not be passed. The last thing America wants right now is to have the reputation of not helping their people.

  2. I also agree that the government should continue the SNAP program. Food programs would greatly benefit low income families and individuals who just started to live on their own. Instead of focusing on buying food they can turn their attention to other things just like you said.
