Working Full-Time and Still Can’t Eat

I will agree that there are too many American people that are on SNAP benefits, but that means that you've got to not look necessarily at SNAP. You've got to look at the reasons that they're on SNAP. We know that over one-quarter of these people that are in receipt of SNAP benefits are actually the working poor in this country, right? We have not increased the minimum wage, and I don't know when. And the minimum wage still sits at $7, while everything else is going up, whether we're

talking about the cost of food or whether we're talking about the cost of rent or whether we're talking about the cost to actually try to engage in home ownership, if we're talking about the interest rates. And we know that under the failed leadership of this administration, this country has seen a loss of a million jobs. And that's just in the first few months. He's not even had a full year. So no, we need to work on economic policies that will put people into a position in which

they are not the working poor, where they are still needing the $6 a day to eat. So, yes, we need to talk about it. But I don't think that SNAP is the problem. I think that that is the resolution, or at least that is a symptom of the problem. We have a bigger problem in which we have billionaires that are continuing to rise up every single day and are getting richer and richer, to the extent that there was talk

about Elon becoming a trillionaire, the first one in this country or in the world, yet we about Elon becoming a trillionaire, the first one in this country or in the world, yet we still have people that have to go to the food bank and go to work.
