Daily Kos: Gillibrand: These food stamp cuts are “the wrong priority for America”
“I want to bring up three issues about food stamps. First, it is such an extraordinary investment. For every dollar that you put into the SNAP program, you get out $1.79, that is a statistic from the USDA. Second, there is so little fraud in food stamps, it’s less than one percent. A dollar, one cent for every dollar. This is not a place where people are taking advantage, this is a place where families needs these resources. And third, as a mother, our children need food to grow. It is the most simple, elemental thing that a family must provide for their children. They need food to grow, they need food to learn. They need food to reach their God-given potential. So I urge my colleagues who are looking for places where we need to tighten our belts, please do not ask that of hungry children. it is the one place where we should not be tightening a belt. These are children who need this food.”
Powerful words from Senator Gillibrand.
