The number of people on food stamps went from around 15M in 2001 to about 45M in 2013. I think many people need good stamps but the point of eligibility of food stamps is a good point, in that there are probably a lot of able-bodied people like Angie who are living on food stamps that shouldn't be. I'm all for the food stamp program but I do believe we need to tighten eligibility requirements. I know several people who lost their jobs from the 2008 financial crisis. But instead of trying to find a job, they spent 2 years on fun-employment where they didn't need to work because of the generous unemployment benefits. If they found jobs that money could have gone to truly needy people in the mid-west. I now believe the same thing is happening with the food stamp program.
