President Donald Trump’s administration’s planned cuts to food assistance benefits would throw millions of people off the program.
Just another day.
When will the government help mega corporations move to self sufficiency?
We once had legislators of both parties who thought ameliorating hunger.was in the national interest.
Secretary Perdue who looks like an understudy from Deliverance really ought to read the farm bill. https://www.fas.usda.gov/programs/mcgovern-dole-food-education-program “The McGovern-Dole International Food for Education and Child Nutrition Program helps support education, child development and food security in low-income, food-deficit countries around the globe. The program provides for the donation of U.S. agricultural commodities, as well as financial and technical assistance, to support school feeding and maternal and child nutrition projects.”
Plus, the largest beneficiaries of Food Stamps are the grocery stores. They want and depend on that government money.
Another gleeful cruelty aimed at damaging urban centers (and you know who) and creating more of the spectacle of homelessness and abject poverty the GOP loves to see visited upon its enemies and which it cites as evidence of Democrat mismanagement.
If you don’t understand everything from November 2008 forward as the GOP/white Christian nationalists literally waging war on the rest of the country, then you are a fool.
Yet another component of Donnie’s vision of MAGA – letting financially-struggling families choose between paying the rent and feeding their children.
And as many studies have shown, food stamps are one of the best ways to boost the economy in areas that need it most. Biggest bang for your dollar.
Here’s my impression of a trump voter kicked of their food stamps:
I’m soooo hungry. But, her emails!
Literally taking food out of children’s mouths.
It’s amazing how hard they try to make the world a worse place and still win elections.
Just hurting the(right) people more…

Because there’s no time like the present for a little extra cruelty.
The intended message is clear: “If you can’t afford to feed them, don’t have them…SO STOP REPRODUCING, BROWN PEOPLE!!!”
Trump should do a multiple day fast.
Note to Red States, happy now?
Well, I am pretty certain they analyzed all of the data to determine how they could cut this without touching too many MAGAts.
Although they may not have worried about it too much — look at how many farmers, steelworkers and others drank so much koolaid already that they still love Cheatolini even as they go bankrupt because of tariffs and other broken promises.
If you can not control the parents , starve their children.
It’s the Trump thing to do.
