Trump decides not enough Americans are hungry

[wvit1001]

So as part of an all-out assault on the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), a.k.a. food stamps, officials have finalized a rule to tighten work requirements for adults without children who use the program, a move they say will keep 688,000 people from getting food assistance. Just for reference, the average food stamp benefit for a single person is $134 a month, or about $1.50 a meal.

Take that, you freeloaders, living a princely life while you sup on your luxurious supermarket ramen! It’s time for you to learn a lesson.

And lest things aren’t difficult enough, here’s another new rule the administration is proposing:

The rule would also prevent households with more than $2,250 in assets, or $3,500 for a household with a disabled adult, from receiving food stamps.

Those changes would strip nearly three million people of their benefits, the department said, and nearly one million children would lose automatic eligibility for free or reduced-price school meals.

Read that again. Just $2,250 in assets would make you ineligible. So if you owned a 15-year-old car that runs just well enough to get you to a minimum-wage job, which isn’t enough to support a family on anyway, you’d be considered too rich to get food stamps. You could give up the car, but then you’d lose your job, in which case you wouldn’t satisfy the work requirement unless you could find a new job in walking distance, so you’d have neither a job nor food stamps.

That should help calm things down.

Trump notices Americans are not hungry

Yep.  Nobody is going hungry in this country.  There are programs and charities to take care of those who can't feed themselves.  But make no mistake, anyone who wants food can get it.

I find liberals who try to make political points by lying and appealing to emotion are despicable.
