Tom Vilsack: “It is vitally important that we fund nutrition assistance to the fullest of our ability, especially in these times.”

I think there are a lot of misconceptions about SNAP, and I think it stems from who people think are on SNAP.

There is no doubt that there are many, many, many working poor, working poor with an emphasis on working.

If you raise the minimum wage, you would reduce the SNAP population by a significant amount.

If you make hunger the number one priority, then I can guarantee you that governors will have to listen, corporate CEOs will have to listen, nonprofits will have to listen.
