Which is why foodstamps shouldn't be considered income! Thanks for playing!

What is the matter with you. If you are measuring the income people have after taxes and transfers have taken place, yes, food stamps, social security checks, and other such entitlements do add to the amount of income they have. If you are measuring the income before taxes and transfers, no, they don't count as income.
