I heard @maddow say 45 million people on food stamps will now get $230/mo more because of the Covid bill & “it’s a really big deal.” No, what’s a really big deal -really bad deal -is that in our country of 330 million people there are 45 million who need food stamps to begin with

This is true, sadly. Nonetheless, I totally get her point.

Instead of raising the minimum wage, we continue to enable employers who won't pay a living wage by helping their workers survive. I'm all for helping people, but not helping the rich get richer.

Can't survive on it, even w/that extra. "On average, SNAP households received about $246 a month in fiscal year 2020. The average SNAP benefit per person was about $125 per month, which works out to about $1.39 per person per meal." Richest country? ...cbpp.org/research/food-assis…

Absolutely. Also shocking to learn how many kids rely on school meals for sustenance. We need systemic change. This is not acceptable.

Welcome to socialism. It’s never going to be enough. Right and Left need to wake up. Stop worshipping these people who will impoverish you and this nation.
