"How Much Does SNAP Cost?

In fiscal year 2013, the federal government spent about $82.5 billion on SNAP. About 92 percent went directly to benefits that households used to purchase food. Of the remaining 8 percent, about 5 percent was used for state administrative costs, including eligibility determinations, employment and training and nutrition education for SNAP households, and anti-fraud activities. About 3 percent went for other food assistance programs, such as the block grant for food assistance in Puerto Rico and American Samoa, commodity purchases for the Emergency Food Assistance Program (which helps food pantries and soup kitchens across the country), and commodities for the Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations."

Nope, it's economics, it's capitalism. What's "full employment" in capitalism? If you know that then you know why UI exists.

You are assuming that they use the same ones each time.

I'm still looking for his definition? Regardless of what it is, it will be peanuts.

The weak are the ones who can't do the math, meaning you.

I'd be shocked if they hadn't. They live in ideology, not reality.
