Description

One in eight Americans relies on SNAP or food stamps to eat. And the average benefit is a mere $188 a month. As inflation continues to rise and grocery prices skyrocket-the 42 million Americans who rely on the governmennt's Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, are about to go hungry. And it could all be stopped; IF Donald Trump and Republicans would tap into the 6 billion dollars in congressionally appropriated funds sitting in a contingency account. But they won't. Because to them, it's about using hungry Americans as a pawn in a game to punish Democrats, in the longer game of stealing millions of Americans' healthcare away. As Suri Crowe reports, the cruelty is always the point.

Tapper is evil as well. Repubs are no longer in existence. Anyone who says they are not corrupt are delusional. Food should never be used as a political weapon.

Tapper is awful. He's full of himself and rude. What an awful "rich guy" so typical of the Maga gop. Horrid, vile people.

I remember a few years ago, an older lady standing infront of me at the grocery store. There was a little boy around 8 years old, you could tell he was her grandson. She was using her snap card for the 1st time, she was shaking. It hurt my heart knowing the little food she was picking up was she was taking care of him.
