S.N.A.P.

I personally believe that cutting the funding of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program may be a step in the right direction. This may seem bad as in reducing help to those that need it but social welfare is large part of the federal budget. There are many cases of those that the abuse this system when there are many others that rely on it. This may seem heartless to those that need it, but the U.S. debt cannot be ignored. There has to be cuts in several programs to reduce the spending of the federal budget spending on more important matters. Those that truly deserve the food stamps should have access to it, unlike those that merely play the system to use the food stamps to obtain cash. This is a small step towards the right direction as the U.S. cannot ignore the problems any longer.

  1. I agree with you. I also think that it is a good idea because there are many people who do abuse the system in order to get more money. For example, one day I saw a girl who was around 13 years old with a new iPhone and her mom was paying with food stamps. This made me angry because not only do I not have an iPhone, but it was obvious that they are abusing the system.
