If you take SNAP and you reduce it or you eliminate it, you are obviously going to impact not just the poor families that are receiving it.

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.
