So the bill is working as intended and a 'success' then?

If you can, donate to your local food bank. We all need to help each other.

The “Pro Life” party

If we can't even feed the children, how are we worthy as a nation?

SNAP is a subsidy to the poor and to farmers.

Insofar as it benefits farmers, it's obviously a rural benefit, and it's also advantageous to rural areas on the poor front.

One in seven rural households relies on SNAP, compared to one in eight in metropolitan areas. 

If were a rural Republican voter and the "rural party" had just gotten a trifecta and promptly proceeded to do this

like, this is theoretically as good as it gets

I'd probably be a little grouchy.

There is a crime here that goes beyond denunciation. There is a sorrow here that weeping cannot symbolize. There is a failure here that topples all our success. The fertile earth, the straight tree rows, the sturdy trunks, and the ripe fruit. And children dying of pellagra must die because a profit cannot be taken from an orange. And coroners must fill in the certificate- died of malnutrition- because the food must rot, must be forced to rot. The people come with nets to fish for potatoes in the river, and the guards hold them back; they come in rattling cars to get the dumped oranges, but the kerosene is sprayed. And they stand still and watch the potatoes float by, listen to the screaming pigs being killed in a ditch and covered with quick-lime, watch the mountains of oranges slop down to a putrefying ooze; and in the eyes of the people there is the failure; and in the eyes of the hungry there is a growing wrath. In the souls of the people the grapes of wrath are filling and growing heavy, growing heavy for the vintage.

food chain keeping some poor neighborhoods from being food deserts are closing down in my city. operator said when the snap cuts hit so did their monthly (no duh) and they can't cover monthly costs.

If the Pedo Party can't fuck kids, they'll starve them. Sounds on brand for those sickos.

Pro life!
