This week the Secretary of Agriculture refused to continue food assistance to 40 plus million needy people. The Secretary is completely unclear on the concept, the purpose of agriculture being to feed the nation. I am a farmer. Where does this administration find such disgusting people.
This denial of Food Stamps is another Trump stunt to force Democrats to give up on healthcare. However three courts have now told Trump he cannot stop the SNAP program and must use the emergency funds which have been set aside for this purpose. Trump seems to be planning to drag his feet rather than follow the court orders. We’ll see this coming week what happens.
The Trump administration, the Republican Party, and The Supreme Court, all so disconnected from the human condition and lives of average citizens.
One of the comments I keep seeing is the importance of supporting the non-official pillars of society… or in other words time to donate to your local food bank.
I have been reading that it is important to support the informal pillars when the formal ones are floundering. Therefore time to support food pantries!????
