The Trump administration now cutting food stamps for the poorest of the poor, after having passed a $2T tax cut for the richest of the rich. Is this what we have become as a country? We cannot be great if we are not good.google.com/amp/s/www.nytimes…

The Government isn't supposed to be our Nanny. There are MANY wonderful food banks and charities out there to fill the gap. The food stamp system is abused and needs culled.

No amount of private charity can compensate for a lack of social justice. I’ve run a non-denominational church as well as nonprofits. No, churches & nonprofits cannot be left to clean up all the mess created by politicians serving corporate wealth at the expense of our citizens.

Only for able bodied adults under 50 with no dependents. That makes up 2% of recipients. There's still 36 million receiving food stamps.

So those 700,000 don’t matter?

In the words of Franklin D. Roosevelt... “The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much; it is whether we provide enough for those who have too little.”

There is massive fraud. There shld also be restrictions on what snap can pay for- why is Doritos other processed foods being subsidized? Kraft and Frito lay need their kick backs? Fresh food, bread, pasta etc fine. We shouldn't pay for someone's super bowl party

I really liked having you on stage. A solid progressive who focused on healing our mortally wounded democracy. Thanks!

This is not the steps you take to try and solve the misuse of this system. When you take away support from people that have no way to support themselves and don’t replace it with another solution you create fear and fear transfers to anger! Desperate people do Desperate things!💯

It’s as if there is no acknowledgement of the many many people currently experiencing homelessness. #injustice
