Summary
House Republicans are considering a 20% cut to SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) benefits, impacting over 22 million households, as part of a $5 trillion deficit reduction plan.
The proposed changes to SNAP would save $247 billion over a decade by rolling back a Biden-era increase tied to the USDA’s “thrifty food plan.”
Critics argue the cuts could harm vulnerable populations and reduce demand for food production, while Republicans view the changes as a way to curb spending and encourage employment.
Their dream American is a 28 year old, married with 3 children, with a car lease, and no savings in their bank account.
He wakes up at 4am each day to drive an hour and a half to start his shift at the widget company, he clocks out at 3 to pick up his kids and eats a quick meal before heading to his 2nd job at McGuffin’s where he will work until 9 before heading home to sleep.
This is their ideal person, someone who can’t take a single day off or have a moment to themselves without crushing financial consequences. Who must constantly be working and generating value for their employer.
Obedient. Workers.
