The food stamp program was first started in 1939. It is to help feed people who have little or no money in the united states. In 1964 Lyndon B. Johnson asked for the food stamp program to become permanent.

I think it is an alright idea it helps people in the united states survive. I think there is just one problem. It is that people dont have to work for what they eat or what they need to survive. Some people do need that because they work and they still cant make enough but some people that dont work and are very capable of working dont do anything because in a way they dont need to because they get what they need from the government.
