Huge cuts to food stamps part of Trump's budget proposal

President Donald Trump's budget would drive millions of people off of food stamps, part of a new wave of spending cut proposals that already are getting panned by lawmakers in both parties on Capitol Hill.

I don't think our military would appreciate our American people to go hungry and have no medical.

Everyone is entitled to livable income. Its your choice weather you want to work or not.

Securing the border and the military is a Constitutional Function of the Federal Government while handouts aren’t.

Time to make ppl responsible. It's not fair to raise taxes on one and give to another. How about all these non profits and their CEOs making millions

[susanguccione]

Some people are clueless to what being poor is really like. How much the children really suffer. I cant believe in America we still dont help the poor as much as we should.

Iam gonna put it like this plain and simple I only make $760 a month from ssi disability and I only get $139 food stamps. I feed a family of 4 plus myself makes 5 ppl my rent is $500 a month then that leaves transportation the city bus I use $10 to get 20 rides then I spend $20 for dog food and $15 for hygiene products plus dish soap and laundry soap and trash bags and toliet paper. then I use $60 to pay my phone bill $10 for insurance on my scooter and I send my wife in prison $40 a month then I spend $35 for cigs and after all that I am lucky to have maybe $30 to spend for a few soda pops and snacks. I use what little food stamps I get get food. they do this budget cut. it will leave me and my family homeless and starving. but. I will not allow that so. when the shit hits. then the ppl with money a nice house a car and food. Iam gonna be taking your stuff I promise I will take from you. laugh now but this hits and it fucks with my family life. then. I will be the one laughing. remember if I don't have nothing to lose. and well you do. I know some of you are asking me why don't u get a job. well GOOL LEE WHY DIDN'T I THINK OF THAT. I have one skill. cooking. and I have experience in fast food. yea. not alot of income there but it's income but the problem is. I have been to every single restaurant in 2 cities and for over 2 months I checked on each app I put in. I called daily wound up getting 2 interviews out of 40 and from the 2 interviews they hired someone else to know me I have a can do attitude so I know I made the right impression so why didn't they hire me. maybe cuz Iam 42 and they wanted someone younger who knows. then I go online got 1 interview for food lion. so I dress extremely nice button white shirt with tie and black slacks was 5 minutes early. one of the managers I went to high school with. problem I used to pick on him sooo that was out so I put in alot of job apps in for things I don't know nothing about a cashier job a snd coffee warehouse worker nursing homes janitors anything even landscaping roofing something. but where is all these jobs. the positions are filled maybe???? or maybe there is none. I don't know so I will have to do the only thing to guarantee me and my family's survival. I will kill if necessary I will take from whoever has the money or the food or what ever else I need for me and my family. IF u have a better solution then please add a comment that will help. me get a job or don't comment at all

Millions for Trump to go play golf every week end though. We get the picture.

Walmart will have to declare bankruptcy...Walmart's whole grocery business would collapse with cuts to SNAP.

[deweunwood]

When you look at the budget, hardly any noise over the upper groups getting their government service to the tune of over 1trillion. Now you want to double back and charge the poor.

[flavainyaear]

Cut necessities, fund "protection"... hmm seems a bit immoral if you ask me

[dwfdwf]

How else can he pay for the tax breaks to the rich. For the greedy not the needy.

[yellowmorninggoth]

He wants to cut out all this out so ppl will work more and find jobs./ Well He BETTER start finding these jobs for ppl in the states.
