“THe Art of Ripping Off Vendors” with a new chapter for inflicting maximum pain on the poor, the sick and the elderly

to make SNAP recipients grateful to the Trump administration for giving them a whopping 75% of what they should be getting.
We've seen this strategy before.

"By our estimate, most people were able to survive on 75% what they normally get, that means we're giving them 25% too much..."
And cut food benefits as a government efficiency move.

or a supposition?

I work in the Federal Government (and not getting paid as of last week, but - oh well, not the first time at this Rodeo ..) and have sat in enough budgeting discussions that I'd not be surprised to hear this Administration consider this.

WE ALL KNOW IT WAS DELIBERATE!!!

The entire administration is committed to doing whatever the prolific and blatant pathological liar tells them to do, if they want to keep their jobs, and #rump has already made it clear he wants to hold Americans hostage to get what he wants: to sooth his wounded ego by killing a health care plan named for his predecessor.

And ICE hiring and the cost of the travel, apprehension, detention, National Guard deployments etc.

and paving the Rose Garden, and tearing down the East Wing, and handing billions to e-Loon and his Doge-shits.

In our area may get $200 food assistance each month.., That’s $50 a week…

Cut that in half — that’s $25 a week

Change that to 75 percent… That’s $37.50 a week..

Something to be thankful for, I guess…

They say they will use $4.65 billion to cover approximately 50% of the benefits due for November 2025 with a total expected cost for SNAP in November of about $8 billion, leaving a
shortfall of $4 billion and NO MONEY FOR DECEMBER.

That’s pretty much it, folks. Until we can kick him out of power (and INTO prison).
