Comments
I believe that the way the decision is made to determine whether an individual is eligible for food stamps is unfair,not many individuals bring home the gross before taxes it is usually what comes once taxes have been taken out.I feel that there should be a reconsider in decision making for food stamps.I also feel that there are some who take advantage of the system and it is being allowed.I do not not agree that the only way to get assistance is by being pregnant or disabled ,when you have individuals who do not work and just get getting pregnant are getting assistance than those who work and are being honest and just need a little assistance to help them out.I think their should be another way about how a decision is made for individuals who apply for assistance to help the help they need.
