Republicans continue to rig the economy against struggling families and single parents.

After creating a new labyrinth of dysfunctional government red tape to the highly functioning SNAP program, Trump then went and attacked the only only producing regions left outside US. Russia is blacklisted. Venezuela under severe infrastructure strain. And Iran still cut off everyone.

Thanks Obama! /sarcasm. It was actually Hillary's emails that caused this mess.

Recent sweeping changes to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) were enacted under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which cut program funding by roughly $186 billion over 10 years.

These updates expanded work requirements, shifted a portion of benefit costs to state governments, and limited the purchase of certain items like sugary foods and beverages.

Expanded Work Requirements:

Age Limits: Able-bodied adults without dependents up to age 64 are now subject to strict work requirements, an increase from the previous cap of 54. Mental illness will not longer qualify as disability. Even those with severe, untreated symptoms will be left starving rather than provided food through federal tax dollars.

Mandatory Hours: Participants must work, volunteer, or participate in job training for at least 80 hours per month.

Expanded Demographics: The new rules removed historic exemptions, meaning that veterans, former foster youth, homeless individuals, and parents with children over the age of 14 are also required to meet these work mandates.Mentally ill and homeless are now forced to attend structured work programs, provide extensive documentation of all hours on monthly basis, or be immediately removed from the SNAP foor benefit program.

Penalties: Failing to meet and properly document these hours will result in immediate termination of benefits.

Error Rate Penalties: States are penalized for "erroneous payments" (underpayments or overpayments), forcing many state agencies to strictly tighten documentation requirements, which has led to widespread benefit losses for eligible individuals.

Prohibited Food PurchasesTargeting Unhealthy Foods: As part of the "Make America Healthy Again" movement, EBT cards can no longer be used to purchase specific sugary items like soda, candy, ice cream, and prepared desserts. The poor are now restricted from enjoying readily available snacks in their neighborhood. Discrimination and cruelty towards the poor, disguised as big brother caring for the poor who dont know better, is the hallmark of the cuts.

Many refugees and immigrants with humanitarian status are losing access to state and federal food share programs as part of the cuts.

Documentation needs are so laborious that it is expected to account for over half of the $186 billion saved over ten years.

However, corporate subsidies and tax breaks are rising again by over $300 billion over the next 2 years. Including some of the largest supplements going to Elon Musk, Meta, and many of the wealthiest companies and billionaire class CEOs in the world.
