There is also a record number of employers not paying living wages!!! You don't think that if these folks would be paid a livable wage they would "qualify" for food stamps?!

tell that to the county commissioners that approve these Amazon warehouse builds that pay min wage jobs at best, while living nice in their Bayshore homes (which no one can build near btw) lets not forget all the call centers at $12/hour either

Precisely...plus retail, restaurants, bar tenders etc! No one should be surprised by this, let alone those who contribute to this situation.

The government makes it easy, two people living together can tell the agency they are living together, are going to get married but they buy and eat separately so that they don't have to use the other parties income in calculating the food stamps.
It seems the federal government wants to push to increase food stamps usage in any way they can.

Funny, I was going to say the same thing about you in every conversation.

You still have yet to prove you're qualified for any job above minimum wage, and expect life to just hand you riches on a silver platter. Sadly, many immature children are like this nowadays.
