Trump's SNAP cuts are not only cruel; they're stupid as well

Here in Minnesota the current estimate is that about 8,000 people will face hunger because of this despicable shit.

The cuts to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program that the Trump administration is implementing are going to be immediately devastating to communities of color and rural communities in particular. In the long term, though, they could have just as devastating effects on the health and well-being of millions of people, and ultimately on the nation’s economy.

Numerous studies have shown that access to healthy and adequate food improves health and saves money, as Austin Frakt and Elsa Pearson argue in a New York Times article on the recent work requirement rule for SNAP. While the administration says that it will save almost $8 billion in the next ten years, the authors point out that it is "not clear how much money would actually be saved, research suggests, given the costs that might come from a decline in the health and well-being of many of the country’s 14.3 million 'food-insecure' households." - Daily Kos
