Millions could lose access to food stamps under Trump proposal, study finds

Millions of Americans face losing access to food assistance under proposed rule changes by the Trump administration, a new analysis has found.

The changes, if they had been instituted last year, would have resulted in 3.7 million fewer people and 2.1m fewer households receiving the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, known as Snap or food stamps, during an average month, according to the study.

The altered rules would also reduce benefits received by many people, with 2.2m households set to have their average monthly assistance cut by $127. Nearly one million students would lose access to free or discounted lunches.

The poor are an easy target for Cons. Typical bonehead politics.

Many should lose their food stamps. They exploded under Obama. The economy is flying. Jobs are being advertised everywhere.

Food stamps have helped create a sub-culture of people who don't want to work.
 
Total bullshit

Obama used the same TARP bill passed under Bush and approved by Republicans. Not a single Republican would vote for it under Obama

The Republicans wanted the economy to FAIL under Obama
I'm not interested in your anecdotal remembrances of TARP, Obama and the republicans because as usual your "facts" are absolutely made up bullshit!. TARP Vote: Obama Wins, Senate Effectively Approves $350 Billion | HuffPost

Not only did a small contingent of republicans vote for releasing TARP funds to King Obama but seven democrats, including Bernie Sanders, voted to deny him those funds.

And history proves Sanders was right to try and deny Obama access to TARP money as he illegally misused much of that money to bail out friends of the plutocracy.
Small contingent......A LARGE contingent of Republicans voted for TARP when Bush was asking

But Republicans wanted the economy to collapse under Obama, they wanted the auto industry to fail while Obama was President

All so they could win in 2012

Republicans didn’t have enough votes to stop anything. So for you to make a claim that had no chance of being voted down was wanting failure is plain silly on your part. BTW, Democrats today are no different, in wanting failure so Trump isn’t re-elected, in fact they are trying to impeach him.
 
The irony of this is of course the poor has to pay the price while the rich get everything. All at the same time Trump is running massive debt that makes Bush and Obama look like pikers.

Anyone that works that sometimes needs help or is poor really should vote this asshole out.

So in this case you believe the poor are paying a price? What are they paying? What are rich getting?

Why does UNICEF claim there are 2.5 million British children are living in food insecure households? Why doesn’t Britain take care of their hungry? Why do you worry about the US and not your own country?

Awe...oh sad

People will be forced to choose between
having what they want or providing what they need

Sucks when others stop providing your needs
and you're not able to afford what you want

Hey Tommy the twit, did you know 2 more people in London died because of your Mayor? Stick with your own countries problems let US deal with our own..

Maybe if those millions lose food assistance they might get a fucking JOB.

Maybe if Trump would go after the employers hiring illegals people could get a job that pays enough that they also do not need food stamps to survive.
The girl at Walgreens had gotten a 2nd job over the summer
Back then I had asked her how the 2nd job was going

She told me she had quit, I asked her why, what happened

She told me...nothing happened, i liked it, money was good
but, they took away my SNAP benefits and groceries are $$
I was spending that money on groceries
What's the point, id rather work 1 job and get my SNAP

Food stamps have helped create a sub-culture of people who don't want to work.
Note: The numbers for Presidents Trump, Obama, and Bush (43) are higher than they otherwise would have been because the government started to use food stamps for disaster relief starting in 2005 for Hurricane Katrina. However, keep in mind that poor people are more vulnerable to natural disasters. Imagine a union factory worker in Ohio making $28 per hour, and a non-union factory worker in Florida making $8. Then they are both victims of a natural disaster. Which one is more likely to end up on food stamps? The worker in Ohio probably has some money saved, while the worker in Florida was living paycheck-to-paycheck. So, one could argue that the fact that food stamps are needed for disaster relief is itself evidence of a very high level of poverty.

Excuse me?!

This was not the first time I shared this here

Pxxxy has been working at the Walgreens 3 blocks from my house
for some years now, at least 3, that's how I've come to know her

We talk and she knows I work 2 jobs
She had told me back then she was looking for a 2nd job
Next time I saw her she had an interview with UPS
Next time I saw her she got the job

I didn't see her for a couple of months
My days and hours were changed
When I did see her again and we were catching up
I asked her if she was still at UPS, she said no

I asked her why, what happened

She told me she quit because they took her off of SNAP
once she reported the additional income she was earning to DHS
She was making too much and didn't qualify for SNAP benefits

She told me that she didn't realize how expensive
groceries were until she had to pay with her own money
and why should she work a 2nd job just to buy food
when she could work1 job and get SNAP

Now, when I broke it down in my head I said,
but you had to be making at least $150 a week
that's $600 a month, you spend that much

She said she was spending at least $100 a week for food
and that was without snacks and junk food
and with bus fare there and back, she didn't have much left

All I could say was Wow

No one should be getting food stamps
so they don't have to be bothered with working 2 jobs

What I shared is the truth,
if you can't handle the truth that's on you
 
Most subsidies are via income sliding scale

The ticket to ride the socialist train then becomes merely a matter of workin' one's ##'s

Sadly, the epiphany socialism is no more/less a meritocracy than capitalism occurs to it's advocates less than it should

Yes he made it up but it's a real issue. We make it so you lose all benefits in many cases by slightly bettering your position. The way our system is set up is poorly done.

Bitch, you're confused, not I... I'm a she, not a he

No, I'm not lying, I didn't make it up
I have no reason to
 
It's not a perfect system, never will be

as such, how we define abuse is dubious at best.....

Sorry for the gender mistake and if you want to further discuss this unlike a 12 year old I would be happy to.
