Just yesterday, I completed an application for snap benefits. That’s all I wanted and needed assistance with. Because I’m a part-time worker, my finances at times get strapped because I’m paying off a loan from a bank and it makes my working budgets feel a little compressed. I need some breathing room here.

I hope I get them but I never intend to be on it forever, I just need some financial security and resource assurance. I’ve always tried being a person who looked to things like this and only go to them when I needed them, not because I wanted them and mooch off from them.

    No one should.

    Think about how much you’ve paid in taxes in your life. What could possibly be wrong with trying to get some of that money back?

      Not only that, it prevents them from spending it turning little brown children into skeletons in various ways.

      People that consistently and intently vote against government assistance should consider some reflection though. Maybe it’ll get though to them that others should be assisted in times of need…
