Oh SNAP

Why is it in the richest country on earth it's acceptable to have hungry citizens? Why do the idiots in congress who spend more in one day on food than those on snap in a month pick on the less fortunate? 

I'm getting tired of them blaming the poor for everything. Food stamps do not make people lazy, they feed them. I remember as a child how glad I was to see the month end so that we could get more food.  Food stamps helped feed our family. As my mom laid sick and dying they were the only funds coming in at times. Keep food stamps alive, the children going to bed hungry deserve them...and more.
