Thoughts on the Food Stamp Program

 It seems to me that the less you work and the less you do, the more money you get for food stamps. It's like there should be a banner in front of the banner that says, "Got no job and more children? Come on down, we're here to serve you". I know a few people who are trying to make a difference in their lives. They work at least 30 hours a week, and one person goes to school and to work. The one that does both only receives $200 for a month of food stamps with 1 child. I know of another family with 3 children. She does not work nor does she go to school. She receives close to $500 in food stamps. Why? She is not trying to better herself and she does not have any disabailities. I believe people with the ability to work and don't because they just want to live off of government assistance should not be able to receive it.  It's not fair that those who work everyday still can't afford to buy groceries for their family, yet can't get food stamps or don't get enough.  I do think that most families who truly work, but can't meet ends they need some assistance.
