Poverty and hunger will rise as a result of the Trump administration’s unprecedented cuts to the US federal “food stamps” program, according to experts. Low-income workers who rely on the aid are braced for dire consequences.

    When crime goes up because nobody can afford food or a place to live a Democrat will be in power, so they can blame him. All working according to plan.

      I’m not sure it’s going to take that long - or if a Democrat will ever take power peacefully again.

      Since he is hacking and burning so haphazardly and aggressively, the typical 2-5 year lead time to see economic effects don’t apply anymore. Once the threads start unravelling on food supplies, it only takes months.

        its a poisoned well, because like clockwork the gop and trump made sure the BBB cuts happen during the next election, midterm and presidential, that way the magats forget that it was trump that cut the budget. i think some of this was discussed just after the election, that it is better to let republicans feel the effects of the GOP cuts for a couple election cycle, then maybe they will start to “think hey wait a minute, this is hurting us for real”.

        everytime a dem gets back in power all the blame goes to them, every single time.

      We can just herd them all together is places called…umm…Sanctuary Districts! Where everyone gets a roof over their head and a meal. I’m sure there won’t be any riots or anything.
