Speaking of food stamps...

Poor people can be poor for many reasons. Sometimes they may be just out of a job. Sometimes it is because they have no clue how to manage money. My grandparents were never well off, but they scraped and saved and did without luxuries in order to support themselves and they got by comfortably. Some people who are poor squander their limited resources on luxuries then go hungry or cold on another day. 

The following might be a bit unfair. Families of 3 or more can get more than $30 a week in SNAP allowances and if the head of the house decides to misuse the benefits, it is quite possible for them to do so. Gohmert might actually have heard the stories he claims to have heard, even though food stamps, if properly used, aren't sufficient to buy luxury foods.

The misuse of SNAP funds by a few is not reason enough to cut the program. Instead, redefine the products for which the food stamps may be used.
