Will there be any restructuring of the food stamps system?
Takeaways: Food stamps generally works well. There's less than 3% of fraud/error in the system; one of the lowest out of all federal programs. A point of contention: requiring people to retain a job to use food stamps- many people who benefit from food stamps live in areas that have little job opportunities. 85% of people using food stamps are senior citizens, children and disabled people.
