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.

And useful fodder for the Democrats. You have to give a damn about the people more than taking a swipe at a party. Trump will leave at some point.

This is where the fight needs to be.

If you take your normal everyday conservatives/liberals that are active in the community in regular everyday life in regular everyday cities and towns they are going to know who the hell is disabled, mentally ill, limited etc. They aren't going to be ok with cutting SNAP. They aren't going to be ok with cutting free or discounted lunches for children. They are already aware that there are kids that are putting half their lunch in pockets on Friday so they have something to eat on the weekend. Many of them are involved in their local food pantries and have watched people that were at one time donating become people in need. If you work in any way, shape or form with any of these people then the first thing you realize is nobody in their right mind is thinking so and so is a Republican/Democrat/Christian/Atheist/conservative/liberal. Nobody has time for that nonsense.

Except that it is only conservative politicians who take from poor folk and give to the rich. That is the essence of conservatism wherever you pay your taxes.

No. Would you like the opportunity to try that again or would you prefer to be labeled as disingenuous?

No, its the truth. Conservatives are Robin Hoods in reverse. Why would you deny that ?

Not exactly.....Conservatives want everyone to be working and paying their fair share...….while Liberal/Dem/Left prefer to keep everyone on the Government dole.

No. This liberal is all about everyone else working and paying their fair share as well. But, thanks for asking.

They have no such obligation. The only obligation they have is to the Federal and State minimum wage.
I would close my business before I pay some nonsense about a living wage to someone who's labor is barely worth minimum wage.

A lot of people who are getting food assistance have a job. That job just doesn't pay enough to live on.

The fastest way to get people off public assistance is to raise the minimum wage.

The federal minimum wage has not been raised since the bush boy years. It's long overdue to raise the federal minimum wage.

We are giving big business even more of our tax dollars by subsidizing their employee's income with public assistance.

Employers have an obligation to pay their employees a living wage.

It's not up to the government to subsidize wages because employers refuse to pay a living wage.

Obama did so with the healthcare mandate. He required everyone to get healthcare a year before he required employers to conform. The burden of the rule put a hardship on the American worker. Also if employer didn’t cover the spouse, it forced couples to get the spouse coverage using both incomes, causing many more Americans to pay more. At least Republicans are upfront, whereas the Democrats will go behind our backs.

The state of Washington voters approved a restriction on the price of car tabs to $30 and now the state is trying to over turn the will of the voters. Who do you think that will adversely affect more? The poor or the rich? That is a state ran by Democrats. So spare us your ignorance about my country.

Trump doesn’t care
His base loves it when he takes food away from poor people

Food stamps need to be for food. Not long ago I saw a woman buy 4 20oz mountain Dews and candy bars with food stamps. She could've bought 1 2 liter and saved money. But no, so if my money is going for wasteful spending like that. Yes, eliminate the system. Oh, then she bought a twelve pack of beer and 2 packs of smokes with her money.

You lie

She has a credit card for SNAP
You have no idea if she is getting assistance or not

You got your fake story wrong though
You are supposed to tell us she was buying filet mignon and lobster with her food stamps

I call it as I see it. I don't mind supplying food for the needy, but when you waste it like that, they shouldn't get it.

Is it fair for me to point out the wasted billions in the military? About how they lose billions without every being able to show where it goes and argue they should not get the money any longer?

I think all of goverment should be scaled back at least 20% and some agencies done away with totally.

 

[Papageorgio]

I have asked this question over and over and haven’t got a straight answer. What the heck is a “living wage”?

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.

i dont know were you live but most illegals out here are not making the kind of money you seem to think they are...

Smaller govt, less to operate it, and more money in the people’s pockets to do with as they wish.

The right wing is all for helping the Rich at the expense of the Poor.

The poor fell further behind under Obama also.

and the rich got richer...

It’s a ploy to cause division. Blame the rich, that inspires hate and anger. That way everyone is focusing on hate and division and not the real problems.

What a bunch of fucking bullshit...
I was making $38,000 back in 1996 and had a family of 5, the government said I was right at the poverty line and I could accept welfare. Told the fucking government to fuck off, and looked for another job. By my retirement I was making over $100,000 a year. Dumbasses who work for minimum wage full time, DONT get a pay raise, because they are too stupid to be paid more, unless they try to get better skills like I did. Raising minimum wage doesnt make the person better, just makes everything else go up.

Back in 1976 minimum wage was $2.10 an hour, a hamburger, fry and small drink cost 95 cents. A trans am firebird cost $6,000
Today minium wage is $10.00 an hour, a hamburger, fry and small drink almost 4 dollars, that car today would cost over $50,000.

Under the proposal those that are single, non disabled, and no dependents could have their benefits cut. Tell me who in their right mind thinks those that have the ability to work shouldn’t and should receive a free ride when there are more jobs than unemployed available out there?

RUSSIA!!!

My point? The (D)'s have all kinds of things to run against Trump on. They could exploit this big time but they are bone heads that insist on RUSSIA and impeachment.

Sadly too many of them also support the things they should be offering an alternative for.

They have no choice other than impeachment. If trump`s allowed to use taxpayer dollars to bribe a foreign leader for personal favors then all presidents can do that. Would they have given Obama a free pass?

 

[sparky]

Blame the rich, that inspires hate and anger.

More , it's HOW they make a $$$.....otoh..... believing capitalism and a meritocracy can coexist is rather idealist

That way everyone is focusing on hate and division and not the real problems

Yup, and as soon as you 'hate' , you've a tool for some faction trying TO divert from the REAL issues

Fact is, we could fuel ourselves all this winter, if hate was fuel
