why doesnt the number of people on food stamps fall with the

higher welfare availability. employment does not mean above the poverty line

companies don't pay a living wage and/or not enough hours.

> went on food stamps once
> literally only used the first month they gave me because I was able to get work and make money and didn't want to leech any more than I already had

Why aren't more people like this

The current minimum wage is $8/hr OP

Most companies don't hire people on a full time basis.

Because of the way Unemployment is calculated, lots of people have given up looking for work, so they're not counted in the statistic, but they still exist and collect welfare and foodstamps

Because poor people are fucking lazy. most hard working people work their lives away to get rich just so they have to be around obnoxious ass poor people. I grew up poor and I'll kill myself before I ever go back. The poor will always be poor because they see handouts as better than wealth. Fuck them.

because unemployment in the united states isn't indicative of the number of actual unemployed. once you've been out of the workforce for a set time, you're taken off the unemployment figures and placed on the -not seeking employment figures-

What is the actual unemployment number? I get the feeling the reported statistic of unemployment is not real.

I'm not a rich person, but it triggers me that we enable that type of behaviour and reinforce it
