What??? I assume you are saying that you were charged with burglary and selling food stamps and were arrested and went to jail, then made bond but missed your court date. The amount of time you can get on those cases has not changed. It depends on the level of the burglary - it could be a first degree (5 - 99 or life) or second degree (2-20). Not sure about selling food stamps - that is welfare fraud and I believe it depends on the amount of the stamps sold.
