The post Trump Administration Moves to Cut Food Stamps for 6.3 Million Americans, Threatening Children’s School Meals appeared first on The Washington Informer.

    Republicans are angry at the idea of people who may not need it taking advantage of social programs, yet they’re okay with rich people taking things they don’t need

    I cannot understand a government that compulses kids to attend school, and then refuses to feed them while they are in school custody.

    These fuckers piss away vast sums of money on their own causes, funnel public money to themselves, then do shit like this. These people deserve to die horribly. I would love to see a couple of million people swamp DC, crash the Whitehouse and stomp Trump’s guts out.

    Apparently the definition of “waste, fraud, and abuse” according to conservatives is…you being able to eat.

    Didn’t they already do this? Just be honest and tell us you want us to starve. Goddamn. I lost my food stamps because of their bullshit.

    $700 to feed my family, gone. Between rent and bills, we are barely making it.

    Thank God my son’s school has a program that sends food home with him on weekends. Atleast he will eat.

      That’s horrible :( maybe food banks can help you guys? I’ve been trying to donate as much as I can to my local one. Countless families like yours struggling so much, it’s infuriating to watch these fat cats surrender to greed.

    America is doing great! – says man who has never worked a day in his life, yet somehow brought in billions of dollars into his own bank account over the last two years. Hmm…
