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.
Hopefully, if this happens, Democrats don’t take the high road and lay this at their feet. I hate how the govt. spends my tax dollars but I’d gladly see it used to air non-stop ads about all the horrible shit they do over the next 4+ years on Faux News. Just blast that shit every break until people either listen or get pissed and stop watching.
