It’s been really disheartening to see the things people say about those who use SNAP. Many seem to have little understanding of why the program exists in the first place.
Most people who use SNAP do so temporarily (often after losing a job, dealing with medical issues, or facing unexpected hardships) and need a little help while getting back on their feet.
Many recipients are working full-time jobs but still struggle to make ends meet. Wages simply haven’t kept pace with the rising costs of food and housing, leaving millions of hardworking Americans unable to afford basic necessities.
The truth is, SNAP has one of the lowest fraud rates of any federal program (under 1%), and it helps keep millions of children, seniors, and working adults from going hungry.
The reality is far more complex than MAGA has the comprehension to understand or perhaps it simply doesn’t fit their political agenda. It’s not hard to spot the MAGA crowd; they’re the ones cheering at the idea of people going without food instead of supporting a program that literally keeps Americans fed.
