1. Chef Andres is one amazing human being.

2. No one in this country should go hungry.

3. Raise the minimum Wage

Read years ago Walmart was all for this since a decent amount of their customers are on Food Stamps. Also read since Walmart paid their employees so little in some states they qualify for them.

Raise the miminum wage reduces the amount of people on food stamps plus increases tax revenue.

10. I understand that new hires not only received a whole lot of anti-union

propaganda during their orientation, but instructions on how to apply for food stamps.

12. Not surprising

That would not surprise me. I have not stepped foot in a Walmart for almost 15 years due to the fact they do not offer employees health insurance and pay them so little.

4. The rich must be taxed so they can help the less fortunate.

We won't get there until at least the next administration.

6. "Are their no prisons? And the Union workhouses? Are they still in operation?"

7. I doubt he's fleecing the poor

Just those with more money than sense.

8. Says the guy who founded World Central Kitchen to help communities in need all around the world...

and consistently uses his platform to highlight issues related to food insecurity.

9. interisting that snap, ebt others . called california advantage here

is run, funded by the states and administered by the counties was one of the programs that ronald raygun shoved onto the states saying states and local government can do a better job. i support the total expansion of medicaid ,medical in ca , food stams , etc . except that when those idiots scream we need to corral spending, the rs always hit the social programs .

11. I honestly think that everyone -- except perhaps those with over a million dollars a year income --

everyone ought to get snap. I think that then, finally, the middle and slightly upper income people would understand how important it is.

13. SNAP supports Republican farmers in rural America as well

Guaranteed markets and demand for their products.

Expanding SNAP puts money into rural America. The GOP is stupid to fight it. But a lot of their constituents are too stupid to realize they're getting fucked over (I'm looking at you, Uncle Bob on your hog farm, who voted for Trump and then cried when trade with China got blown up, but said you will still vote for him again)
