stevenash Posted March 25, 2015 Report Posted March 25, 2015 You often give information out about the SNAP program (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program)and appear to be a strong proponent of it. Can you explain why the number of SNAP recipients grew by 69% from 2008 through 2013 and yet, during the same period, the poverty rate grew by just 16.5%? Quote
Mr. Buddy Garrity Posted March 25, 2015 Report Posted March 25, 2015 Is there a legit link you can post on this? Thx. Quote

Sometimes after a day or two, the link becomes available. The article is entitled- The Next Welfare Reform: Food Stamps. If you google that phrase, it may show up later this evening. Quote
