Also, there are just under 115 million households in the US right now. I’m not sure if that number includes single people though, it could be a higher number if they are included. This of course doesn’t include the homeless either. So, let’s just say there’s 116 million households and 26 million of those households use the SNAP program to help keep hunger at bay. So freaking WHAT? It’s 74 billion dollars, that once again, goes into the pockets of grocery retailers, so it creates economic activity. No one’s getting rich off of getting food stamps, the main people really benefiting are the grocery stores.
