Summary
House Republicans are considering a 20% cut to SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) benefits, impacting over 22 million households, as part of a $5 trillion deficit reduction plan.
The proposed changes to SNAP would save $247 billion over a decade by rolling back a Biden-era increase tied to the USDA’s “thrifty food plan.”
Critics argue the cuts could harm vulnerable populations and reduce demand for food production, while Republicans view the changes as a way to curb spending and encourage employment.
Right, because THAT’S where the untold billions of dollars are going. Not the defense and weapons spending
Well, we also have billionaires in this country, when that should not even be a thing. It’s time to Make America Great Again, and tax these fuckers at 92%. Like the 1950s.
