1. I'm so sorry.

[3Hotdogs]

7. Yeah, well, don't we all agree that Elon needs the tax break more than low income people need food?

.



























Yes, Ralphie, its sarcasm.

[central scrutinizer]

2. Surprised it didn't blame the Democrats

By name.

[Skittles]

[BeerBarrelPolka]

3. Illinois

sent out a similar letter and phone text.

[not a texan]

4. Didn't they just destroy 40,000,000 pounds of food?

Cut SNAP benefits while destroying food that could have gone to the food banks they want you to rely upon while they eat cake.

5. I can only imagine,

that this will effect Trumphumping Voters as much as everyone else,..... maybe even more,....... esp in the Red Southern Gulf states, including Florida and also Texas........

[Demobrat]

8. They'll just blame the Democrats

for not just capitulating to Trump, re-opening the government on Republican terms, and then “negotiating” over healthcare. As if.

[Gaugamela]

6. Just in time for the holidays.

9. Hope the Repugs get a lot of fallout from this.

Grocery stores not gonna be happy about this either. Hope this will be reflected in Repub. Party votes.

[Farmer-Rick]

10. Whenever SNAP is cut

Wal-Mart's profits use to fall by the same amount. Not sure if it still applies today. A lot of people can't afford Wal-Mart anymore. They go to the dollar store, Aldi and other super cheap food stores.

And yet pedo Trump has handed over huge amounts of our tax dollars to Argentina cause free trade?, contractors tearing holes in the Whitehouse for his giant ballroom and Kristi Noem for her private jets.

But he starves our hungry Americans. So America last after all his favorites get our tax dollars.

12. Food banks won't have enough donations to fill the gap.

[Wounded Bear]

13. The "future" is that repubs want to end the program...

It's not just trump, most repubs want to kill SNAP.

[KentuckyWoman]

14. Thank you for the reminder to support local food banks

Supporting local food banks consistently means more people have a source when the fickle winds of government change. Yes they will take your can goods as long as the date is not too close, but even small monetary donations add up.

Even if you can't financially support, see if they need volunteers. For instance every week I go help fill boxes that will be taken to seniors in low income housing. Dental care items, soap, dish detergent, underarm, non-perishable food, even nightlight bulbs.

Durable medical equipment (canes, walkers, braces etc)
Nearly every hospital has an "equipment library" for people who need something on loan. Senior centers and Veterans groups too you can donate or request help.
