Its sad to say that the amount on a dollar has no value anymore.I know i was very disappointed to learn that if a family of 5 makes $1.00 over $2150.00 they are not allowed to receive Snap better know as Foodstamps to us.
Well i know a Family of 5 and she and her husband both work to pay the bills and to put food on there table.There Gross pay is $298.00 each before taxes. So the amount they have to turn in to DHS office is $596.00 a week which is times by 4.5 weeks = $2682.00. Now the catch they own there home, They still have house ins.All utilities and Property taxes, Real estate taxes. They only own one car to save on money. The oldest babysits to save on money. Now they added up there bills and they still made to much to apply for Foodstamps.
Now it gets worse they attend Walnut Ridge School and they raised there lunches again. Now its $1.75 per child that dont meet low income guidelines. So even if they get reduced meals the cost is still $4.50 for the 5 children which still is $18.00 a week, and $81.00 a Month. Now you tell me How fair is our Goverment and our faith in the 1$ bill.
