The proposed changes to SNAP will leave millions of families hungry, including kids who would be unable to access the national school lunch program. Young people need nutritious food to perform their best & this rule only exacerbates food insecurity. https://t.co/feZaBbGgsA

The cruelty is the point
So Trump and the Republicans want to reduce the Snap program by $189 billion over 10 years?
“Despite significant economic improvement and a strong job market, participation has not yet declined to prerecession levels, blah, blah, blah.” WH
“Too many Americans remain on public assistance.” WH
Therefore eligibility requirements for SNAP will be made tougher.
All those able to work will be required to work at least 20 hours a week or be dropped from the program.
Housing assistance will be cut by 15.2% as well.
Every Republican currently in office must be defeated in November.
