3. national
4. An enacted policy that has been passed to help a problem individual/families face.
5. The house passed a bill that cut 3.8 million from the food stamp program. This money kept millioons of americans above the poverty line.
6.Cutting the food stamp budget I feel only makes things more
difficult for the American people. I feel the government is putting the needs
of Americans aside in an attempt to fix the large fiscal deficit. The fiscal
deficit is a very serious problem that needs to be addressed, however I feel
taking food out of the mouths of the American people is not the way to go about
solving the nation’s problems. If any changes are made I feel the types of food
that can be purchased with food stamps should only be whole foods and these
foods should come at a discounted rate to those with food stamps. The government,
the Republican Party to be specific, I feel always tries to lump people into
two categories the “haves” and the “have nots” those who have should not be
responsible for the “have nots”, and those without should work harder. Now to
an extent I do feel some do rely too heavily on food stamps and do not try to
bring themselves out of their finical hardships, but I honestly feel for every
one person who does not really need the finical assistance there are 10 others
who are in desperate need of help. The only reasonable way I feel to correctly
address this issue is to drastically change the qualifications process not just
tweak it. I don’t have a definite answer but if something is not done immediately
I feel the infer structure of America will come crashing down real soon. If we
cannot look to the leaders of our country for rational help who do we turn too.
