After cuts to food stamps, Trump administration ends government’s annual report on hunger in America

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Trump administration is ending the federal government’s annual report on hunger in America, stating that it had become “overly politicized” and “rife with inaccuracies.”

The decision comes two and a half months after President Donald Trump signed legislation sharply reducing food aid to the poor. The Congressional Budget Office has estimated that the tax and spending cuts bill Republicans muscled through Congress in July means 3 million people would not qualify for food stamps, also known as SNAP benefits.

The decision to scrap the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Household Food Security Report was first reported by The Wall Street Journal.

In a press release Saturday, the USDA said the 2024 report, to be released Oct. 22, would be the last.

Critics were quick to accuse the administration of deliberately making it harder to measure hunger and assess the impact of its cuts to food stamps.

“Trump is cancelling an annual government survey that measures hunger in America, rather than allow it to show hunger increasing under his tenure,” Bobby Kogan, senior director of federal budget policy at the left-leaning Center for American Progress, said on social media. “This follows the playbook of many non-democracies that cancel or manipulate reports that would otherwise show less-than-perfect news.”

Same old scam

"If we stop testing right now, we'd have very few cases, if any." - Donald Trump, June 15, 2020

1. 70 million MAGA and a piece of shit himself absolutely love starving poor people to death

Including and especially children. They will blame the parents and they will do absolutely nothing about it but if you want reproductive healthcare they will execute you at a minimum put you in prison

They believe that Jesus would agree to starve the children to death. Almost every single one of them claims to be Christian

5. I assist older adults in applying for SNAP

and I have never ever seen the USDA be so politicized:

”The data is rife with inaccuracies slanted to create a narrative that is not representative of what is actually happening in the countryside as we are currently experiencing lower poverty rates, increasing wages, and job growth under the Trump Administration.’'

and "happening in the countryside"?? Countryside? Who wrote this?

[QED]

6. If there's no report, there's no hunger.

Just like with covid - no tests, no covid. Trump logic.

10. G.O.P.'s Gourmet Golf for Billionaire Cheaters cost taxpayers $84 mil so far this year

I really despise working my butt off then paying taxes so republicon billionaires can fart around on luxury golf courses, cheating their so-called friends and associates.

I propose that the republicon golf cheat in charge pay back that money to America, so we can use it to feed hungry people.
