49. The article talks about proposed cuts to SNAP for able bodied

The article does NOT mention details of any cuts to social security.


SNAP is the supplemental nutrition program formerly known as food stamps. Kev suggested able bodied adult Americans, under the age of somewhere in their 50s, should either be looking for work or in job training to receive SNAP. If the proposal included money for mental health aid, it would be preferable for me, but still, I can see this becoming the compromise that gets a debt ceiling bill passed.

Most, including me, on DU realize that the wealthiest with their permanent tax cuts and lower chance of being audited because of complicated tax returns, have contributed far more to the deficit than the extremely small percentage of individuals getting meager SNAP aid that could get a job if they wanted to. But we also realize McCarthy now controls the nation's pocketbook, and presumably enough of the GOP House members' votes, and a compromise will most likely be made to get enough votes to pass a bill to pay our debts.
