Ann Kirkpatrick: “Twenty-two veterans commit suicide every day.”

SNAP and our Federal safety net programs are a hand-up, not a hand-out, and many of us on this Committee once utilized the program.

There should be no doubt about the tremendous need for SNAP and other nutrition programs.

I appreciate my colleague, Mr. Crawford's, comments about how we can work to develop a better system where we don't penalize people.

the current benefit level is not simply inadequate.
