This is how Trump gets his stats - by rigging the game.

[quote]The Trump administration on Tuesday will propose a rule to tighten food stamp restrictions that would cut about 3.1 million people from the program, U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) officials said.

Currently, 43 U.S. states allow residents to automatically become eligible for food stamps through the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, known as SNAP, if they receive benefits from another federal program known as Temporary Assistance for Needy Families, or TANF, according to the USDA.[/quote]

@sunsporter1649 Nice try, but everyone can see that Trump supporters, including you, don’t give a shit about the poor.

Even folks who receive social security checks or ssi don't really care and more than they care about innocent children incarecerated in what is much better than the old concentration camps.

These folks a wallowing in the squalor, the feces/urine that are breeding infectious disease. EVERYTIME I hear, LOCK HER UP. LOCK HER UP, or BUILD THAT WALL, BUILD THAT WALL...I hear too the distant horrid cries of the Jews, homosexuals, and Jehovah Witnesses CRING, OH GOD OH GOD WHY HAVE YOU FORASKIN US?

Trumo is no "Chrisitan" HE I EVIL MANIFEST. You of the infifferent masses SHALL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN. NOR FORGIVEN!

Honestly, I don’t believe food stamps should be cut, especially when the U.S. has enough money and food to help the poor and feed the hungry but refuses to do so.

Good. Half the people on food stamps don't need them.

@SW-User Do you have any facts (citations, studies, etc.) to support your claim that 50% of food stamp recipients don't need them?

@MarineBob Which stores are accepting food stamps that shouldn't be? Why haven't you reported the fraud?

Trump doesn't look like he's missed a meal lately or had to go to bed hungry and neither do any of those "Patriotic" Republican Senators that will vote for cutting the food stamp programs but I'm sure that at least HE can RELATE to the 12 million children who do because "I didn't have it easy" !

He's not a very good actor but I bet he could sing the greatest version ever done by any other singer in the history of all singers, of "The sun will come out tomorrow, tomorrow" and Pence could do the Arf Arf parts.

This Administration is going to throw a bunch of shit (against it's own people) to distract the media from the Mueller hearings. They are cowards, they are cruel, and they are guilty. We must stay vigilant to what they are doing while keeping an eye on the testimony.

BTW the hearings start at 8:30 am EST tomorrow morning.

@Graylight ummm maybe the problem is being fixed with the tighter restrictions. Can’t ask to fix the problem then not agree with the solution. These are all estimates anyway.

@Blackie Untargeted and arbitrary tightening of restrictions translates into cutting off people from what they need whether they're gaming the system or not. That includes the disabled, vets, senior citizens, single mothers and families who have simply seen harder times than they can handle on their own. I think the system does need to be overhauled, but I think there are more intelligent ways to do it.

Incidentally, I don't think Trump's reasoning has anything at all to do with overhauls and need. It's about producing better numbers and pandering to a base who despises the homeless and less fortunate.

I believe the number has grown because it’s been unchecked and ignored for so long but whatever I say or whatever you say they’re just opinions and estimated numbers who knows what the truth really is and in regards to your statement Ive known people that worked with homeless vets they both welcome the presidents approach to providing housing for them over illegals and they don’t despise them.

@LvChris Of course they will blame the Democrats. We went through this under Bush 43 already. Huge tax cut, followed by a huge deficit, and then they tried to cut social programs because we couldn't afford that spending.
