OK but when bush was in office it was required to raise food stamp allowance in order to improve agriculture. Look at crop prices now. Our president does not care about farmers or working class. Hopeless...

SNAP (Food Stamps): Facts, Myths and Realities

76% of SNAP households included a child, an elderly person, or a disabled person. These vulnerable households receive 83% of all SNAP benefits.

The perception that a sizeable portion of SNAP participants do not really need benefits is flatly wrong. SNAP very effectively targets nutrition assistance at the poorest households, those with gross income of up to 130 percent of poverty and up to $2000 in assets. While some states have exercised a state option to align SNAP eligibility rules with other programs, enabling them to serve households over the federal income and asset limit, the vast majority of households fall well below the maximum. Eighty-three percent of SNAP households have gross income at or below 100 percent of the poverty line and these households receive about 91 percent of all benefits.[xvi] The average SNAP household has only $333 in assets.

The point I was making is that both Obama and Bush suck when it comes to these types of programs. Not sure either president gives/gave a crap about farmers or the working class. Like I said.....it ain't just one sided.
