Why We Need a Peace Economy

HUNGER – LET THEM EAT CAKE.

Forty six million Americans participate in the
Supplementary Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP),
better known as Food Stamps. Nearly 2/3 of participants were children, elderly or had disabilities. Nearly half of all SNAP participants lived in a house with earnings, and most did not receive cash welfare benefits. SNAP is proven to have an anti-poverty effect and is a program we need to protect.
