I live in America, i spend about that much in dollars every 5-7 days. 3 meals a day for 2 people.
Capitalism is the only thing that ever made scarcity disappear, socialism starved tens of millions.
Scarcity is what happens when people don't have incentive to produce or allocate optimally

At the same time, those who are just above poverty have to pay for them while not getting any of the help. Some people on assistance end up better off than someone busting their ass for 25/h.
Don't you think that keeps people poor?
Single snap recipients get 300. It goes up fast from there.
Many americans not on snap can't afford these amounts
