I found this charts and they really caught my attention because i was never really familiar with the whole food stamps system untill now… It’s interesting to see how according to chart 1, some 85 percent of the benefits go to single parent homes or homes with no parents and only 15 percent go to children in married couple homes.
Chart 2 shows the percentage of marrieg, single, able and non-able people with children that have earned an income. It’s interesting to see how 63 percent of married couples with children had earned an income….
What shocked me the most about chart 3, is that over 90 percent of Food Stamp aid went to households which received aid for more than two years. this explaing the way in which people abuse the system…
Chart 4
Aid to Families with Dependent Children program (AFDC)
Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF).
