Can someone math it up to see the total cost for it.? I am in a starving situation but would volunteer to help. It should not be that hard to give american families at least two meals a day maybe possible three?

    In 2018, SNAP benefits supplied roughly 40 million Americans, at an expenditure of $57.1 billion.[2][3] In 2017, approximately 9.2% of American households obtained SNAP benefits at some point, with approximately 16.7% of all children living in households with SNAP benefits.[2]

    In the scheme of things, the interruption of SNAP benefits was a blip. A cruel blip, but I don’t think it’s fair to say we don’t do anything.
