I think SNAP goes far beyond basic needs and I do not approve of SNAP. But it is the law.<br /><br />That having been said, and as a conservative I have no issues with efforts by the USDA or any other group to inform all Americans of the government benefits available to them. <br /><br />In the referenced article all I find offensive is the following sentence. <br /><br />“USDA claims that eligible people who do not participate are actually harming their communities by preventing additional funds from entering their respective economies.”<br /><br />I am not claiming that the USDA statement is false; I am claiming that it is a despicable attempt to shame citizens into using SNAP.<br />Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07669679191229234850noreply@blogger.com
