Matthew M Watson So tired of hearing how people just love to be on welfare and food stamps. Have any of you been in the "free" housing in a big city? Buildings dating from the 50's, lead paint everywhere, often sewage and water leaking in from the upstairs apt. Peopl Read more ... e scream and fighting at all hours, tv's and radios blaring night and day. when something breaks the city may send someone in to fix it in a month or 6 or just not at all. A child on food stamps gets 4.50 a day to eat, try to feed yourself on that for a week or two.. Better yet if you think this is living the high life then quit your job and try it for a while, perhaps you will see that most people would love to have a good job and support themselves rather than depend on the government to live.

Sheriff Gerry Ali Fact: Whites Receives The Most Food Stamps While GOP Blames It On African Americans. Nationally Whites Receive 40.2% African Americans 25.7 Hispanics 10.3%
WASHINGTON -- Gene Alday, a Republican member of the Mississippi state legislature, apologize Read more ... d last week for telling a reporter that all the African-Americans in his hometown of Walls, Mississippi, are unemployed and on food stamps.
"I come from a town where all the blacks are getting food stamps and what I call 'welfare crazy checks,'" Alday said to a reporter for The Clarion-Ledger, a Mississippi newspaper, earlier this month. "They don't work."
Nationally, most of the people who receive benefits from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program are white. According to 2013 data from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, which administers the program, 40.2 percent of SNAP recipients are white, 25.7 percent are black, 10.3 percent are Hispanic, 2.1 percent are Asian and 1.2 percent are Native American.
In the two congressional districts that overlap Alday's state legislature district, more African-Americans than whites receive food stamps, according to USDA data.
Twenty-three million households and 47 million Americans received benefits on an average month in 2013; enrollment declined slightly to 22 million households and 46 million individuals in 2014. Three-quarters of those households included a child, an elderly person or someone with a disability. The average monthly benefit per household was $274 in 2013 and $256 last year.
