USDA’s latest memo, sent Saturday to state directors of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, instructed states to deliver just 65 percent of benefits during the government shutdown and required those who already sent full payments to claw back that money.
There really is no bottom to this administrations evil.
As someone from poor rural Midwest, I can tell you from first hand experience, that people have usually ran out of food stamps about 3 weeks into the month.
Meaning, most people on snap are waiting for the first to get groceries because they don't have anything.
And now we are going on week 2 of the month.
So for many. It's now getting close to 3 weeks without food money.
And with the rising food costs, I wouldn't be surprised if people are running out of snap money closer to the midpoint of the month.
So for them. It's been 4 weeks
From the admin whose favorite way of passing the time is ignoring court orders.
"Stop feeding the poor!"
Ah yes, the Trump starvation agenda.
so what is the purpose of this? Besides the obvious "evilness". Is it to better control the masses? Or retaliation for protesting? For force people to get a second or third job to say he is creating jobs? What is the logic behind this?
He should come take mine back personally so I can ruin his day.
Fucker can ignore a court order, twice, states can ignore whatever he says.
No.
It's like he wants us to physically overthrow him
Please stop linking to CBS News.
Im sure the state's right ppl are real upset over this.
Yeah, good luck with that. People were sent their full SNAP in my state because a judge ordered those benefits to be paid. I get a case for stopping further States' distributions given the more recent judgement, but the idea that they'll be able to claw back money from the States that have already distributed the full amount seems insane. People got sent what they were entitled to, in the amount they were entitled to, after a judge's order saying to do that and before another judge's order saying not to do that. So I just don't conceive of an argument that a court would accept that would retroactively claw that money back from people.
Bread and Games: it's how one keeps the populous under control. Everyone knows that, right?
Why would the Democrats do this?
Really? This is the hill ya wanna die on?
The dems should follow up and request blocking the funds Trump is not freezing.
If there is no money for Snap there is no money for Venezuela
I WANT PEOPLE TO STARVE DAMMIT
