2. Yes, and they play dirty!

It surprises me to NO end that there are Democrats in Congress who don't seem to get that simple concept.

People will have to reapply, there will be snags, there will be stalls, and people in need will suffer. This is Trump University 101.

I honestly think that Trump wants to eliminate SNAP as has been suggested in an early reply. But I think he's going to use the fact that people and corporations step up and donate to food banks, etc. as a means to say it's not even needed. It's admirable that people and companies who are able to help want to help and actually do, but it's not sustainable. We need the government to do what it's supposed to do for its people.

I want may tax dollars helping people who are hungry; not helping Bezos buy another yacht.
