Good question dakota. Mr Downtown answered it quite succinctly. Would you agree to a similar program for healthcare that we have for food?
Then why do we have so many starving children in the USA? Families are falling through the cracks especially the working poor. My sister recently lost her job and applied for help. She was denied because her income from the previous year was too high. They were living out of their savings account and because they owned their own home they disqualified. Thank heavens she found a job within a month (and her church runs its own food bank) or I don't know what she would have done.
Because we've had "Reaganomics" thrust upon us for 20 out of the last 30 years?
That and I suspect we are only getting part of the story. You won't be disqualified to get food aid just for previous years income and owning a house.
