The Greedy Old Pigs are proposing big cuts to SNAP food assistance. Here's what would change and who would be impacted
House Republicans have unveiled a proposal to slash funding for the nation’s largest anti-hunger program by an estimated $290 billion as part of their sweeping plan to turn President Trump’s agenda into a legislative reality.
The draft bill released by the GOP-led House Agriculture Committee would substantially reduce how much the federal government spends on the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), a public benefit that helps 42 million Americans pay for food.
Republicans on the committee argue that the reforms are needed to “ensure SNAP works the way Congress intended it to” by rooting out waste, increasing accountability and controlling costs.
Democrats have roundly condemned the proposal. “It’s bad for families, bad for farmers, and bad for the country. Increasing hunger to make billionaires richer is just plain wrong,” Ohio Rep. Shontel Brown wrote in a statement last week.
