Warnings that millions more could go hungry as Trump pushes $4.5 billion in food benefit cuts

[Soph0571]

“The Trump administration’s latest proposal to cut SNAP would leave millions of people, including struggling families, seniors, and people with disabilities, with less help putting food on the table.”

In its latest potentially devastating attack on the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, the Trump administration on Tuesday unveiled a proposal that would slash food stamps benefits by $4.5 billion over five years, a move analysts warned would increase hunger for millions of low-income families.

The new plan, announced by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), would cut food benefits for nearly 20 percent of the millions of households that use SNAP to afford groceries.

Maximum cruelty all of the time and just when the economic indicators predict the forth coming shadow of a 2nd great recession. They are hideous...

1. Everything he does now will be "punishment" for Impeachment.

2. Yes...

And...

I have noticed that that is not new. When you look at his policies, tariffs and appointees, he has been acting out a vendetta since he took over...I mean took office. There is a deep-seated grudge for this country that is underscored by his every action.

I don't see anything that has been helpful to anyone except his Oligarchical buds. He is leaving a trail of destruction. Russia is very much controlled by Oligarchs and Putin is the top dog there and so he feels an affinity.

Combine a deep-seated, psychological hatred and a strong desire to be a tin pot dictator, and voila! The longer he goes, the more he will decimate what we have and need.

6. This! He is lashing out in anger, but he will end up hurting his loyal followers as well.

They are fools to think that they are immune to his cruelty.
