See, you don't get. America is for all of us, even for a non-patriot like you. Whether you like it or not, we are all in it together.

lol Jake means we're all supposed to feed his fat deadbeat ass while he burns flags and police stations down. Sorry Jake, but the Founder of your own Party would have shipped your ass out in a heartbeat.
 
EdwinA gave up the discussion right there with a nonsensical rant. I can buy anything I want, travel anywhere I want, do what I want. I need no one's help. But a loser like him just blabs away. He is a lost soul living in his rundown trailer. :cool:

Without Food Stamps, it will take many months before anyone is actually hungry.

Even with Food Stamps, people go hungry mid month.

I thought you were retired, and so qualified for the biggest government programs. Even before that, I am sure you qualified to use the transportation system. Have they taken away your drivers license old man?

Most adults on Food Stamps have a job. Do you have a job?

He mentions he got government money through "the tribe." Just a reminder, he is 1/128th Native American. That is he is 99+% white. Why is the government paying his upper middle class white ass money?

Is that so? What's the relevance to the topic of the thread?

As usual, I'll understand if you're unable to explain, Salty Walty.

No, the claim that "most adults receiving SNAP benefits have a job" is not accurate based on current data, Salty Walty.

  • In a typical month, about 50% of these adults are employed, according to a 2024 analysis of U.S. Census Bureau data by the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities (CBPP). However, this drops to around 38% for able-bodied adults without dependents (ABAWDs) based on USDA data from 2017–2019, the most recent comprehensive period available.
  • Broader household data shows that 38–40% of SNAP households have at least one working adult, per 2022 American Community Survey analysis and 2023 CBPP reports.
  • Over a 12-month period, the share rises to 74% who work at some point before or after receiving benefits, reflecting SNAP's role in supporting workers during job transitions or low-wage periods. But this annual figure doesn't mean "most" hold jobs concurrently with benefits.

Let's help you out with a beter explantion.

It depends on how you define “most” and the time frame: about 50% of non-disabled adults on SNAP (formerly food stamps) are working in a typical month, and around 74% work at some point during the year.

Here’s a breakdown of the data and why it varies:


📊 Key Employment Statistics for SNAP Recipients​

  • In a typical month:
    • About 50% of working-age, non-disabled adults receiving SNAP are employed.
    • For able-bodied adults without dependents (ABAWDs), the employment rate is lower—around 38%.
  • Over a 12-month period:
    • 74% of non-disabled adult SNAP recipients work at some point before or after receiving benefits.
    • Many cycle in and out of low-wage jobs, often due to unstable hours, layoffs, or seasonal work.

🧠 Why the Numbers Vary​

  • Point-in-time vs. annual data: Monthly snapshots undercount those who work intermittently.
  • Different subgroups: Employment rates differ for ABAWDs, parents, seniors, and people with disabilities.
  • Job instability: Many SNAP recipients work in sectors with high turnover and fluctuating hours (e.g., retail, food service).

🧾 Summary​

  • Yes, a majority of working-age, non-disabled adults on SNAP work at some point during the year.
  • No, not all are employed at the same time—especially in any given month.

The term “amnesty questor” is not a standard or widely recognized term in political science or immigration policy. However, based on its structure and context, especially in political rhetoric, it appears to be a pejorative or sarcastic label used to describe someone who is perceived as seeking or advocating for amnesty, particularly for undocumented immigrants.
