The number one question that is supposedly leading to all the food stamp cuts is are people taking advantage of this cause. What I keep telling myself and would like to also tell my audience is, if food stamps were not necessary then no one would use them; better yet take advantage of them. Why is there a blame being put on folks for taking advantage of food stamps?
First and foremost I don’t believe people are taking advantage of food stamps. If they are than the system should be set up to prioritise on who needs it more wholly and who can a little more capable of less food stamps.Food stamp distribution should never go extinct no matter what the issue may be. Hunger should never be an issue within a country filled with plenty of “dough”. It just is so ironic at how much money goes into an unrestricted spending for defense as stated by the Tax Policy Center.org. In 2014, the Federal Government has spent 25% more the budget on defense rather than welfare, with welfare only having 11% of the budget and includes housing,unemployment, social protection, and family and children

Every year there seems to be a cut on food stamps and it doesn’t make any sense because if it takes longer than a year for an economy to rise then why does it only take a year for it to fall. By falling I mean taking away food stamps and allowing hunger to be an option .According to Feeding America.org “SNAP benefits don’t last most participants the whole month 90% of SNAP benefits are redeemed by the third week of the month, and 58% of food bank clients currently receiving SNAP benefits turn to food banks for assistance at least 6 months out of the year” (2014). That is half a year of not being able to provide a meal for yourself. My confusion is how exactly are food stamps getting redeemed by close to a majority of the people while close to half of that is unable to receive food stamps. Although I as well believe that there are many reasons why someone may need to trade in food stamps for another item. I can pull out a claim that the horrible choices food stamps restrict you within automatically shouts a cry for help.

Why is there a blame being put on folks for taking advantage of food stamps? The wedge of your nations hunger problem is gauged at over $167 billion per year. The solutions to this problem can be organizing federal nutrition programs that protect families from hunger and improve their health and educational outcome, these programs should be made critical in people and also in the investment of the community because it not only will be a short term solution but will also last long term.
