Trump Never Had to Be on Food Stamps

I guess the only thing I can think of is - he better not touch Medicare or Social Security. If you remember in his pre pres days he swore he would not touch medicare, medicaid or SS. The budget has to be approved and hopefully someone with some brains will rethink this.

I don't think and I hope this does not go into force. It is vital to keep those programs.

To do away with assistant that people need is just wrong.

@nanette64 when your standing on the corner in your Mini Skirt, Tube Top and High Heels, be sure to take a picture and put it on my lot, i would love to see it...I am backing the MSTTHH all the way

Picking on the poorest and neediest. Typical.

I hope you don't have to go back to the "A Girl's Gotta Do What a Girl's Gotta Do" (AGGDWGGD) program thanks to Trump. High heels are hard on the ankles.

I think your idea is best before making any cuts. I know there is a LOT of abuse of these programs. I would also like him to cut non-essential things like research programs that the private sector could very well pay for and profit from. Remember when the government paid for a study to determine why gay males were leaner than lesbians? Who could that possibly benefit?! Or how a shrimp managed a treadmill? What a waste of money. He could also cut non-essential programs like---I really hate to say this---grants to the arts. Until this country's debt and budget and deficit is under control and our grandkids aren't in debt before they are born, we need to cut costs to the bone and let the private sector assume some responsibility if they want those programs.

Though I've never gotten assistance of any kind and I know there is abuse, I believe in fixing things, not hurting folks who really need the help.

I'd really, really like to see care for the poor back in the hands of the churches (where it was for centuries prior to the Great Depression). It's a lot easier to deal with compassionate individuals than cold, heartless bureaucrats. I also think the assistance should be local. I read a report that said about 70c of every dollar spent on these programs stays in Washington, feeding the federal government instead of the people who need the help. Let the churches take care of people again, and we won't have that problem. And I completely agree that they could easily save tens, if not hundreds of millions of dollars by simply getting rid of people who don't need to be on assistance. Remember the story about the lottery winner who was collecting food stamps after winning? AND saw no problem with it???

Hoping things don't get passed @nanette64 We have so many people without what they need now!

sadly this'd be only a part 'f the overhaul. if'n ya want to add fuel to yer fire, check out what the blm 'tis proposin'. i'd fall off my high heels, folks'd hurl 't the sight 'f me'n a mini skirt 'n tube top so that'd not work fer myself. the government need to live within 'ts means, like normal folk. that aint gonna happen though coz folks'll not unite 'n do battle.

If he gets what he wants, I'll be sitting out on the curb soon. At least I know I will have a LOT of company. Maybe we can all hitchhike to DC and go sit on HIS curb to "salute" him as he drives by.

The buget is a scary thing. Cutting out women's health, food stamps, money for schools and insurance. I hop he's impeached soon.

I'm crossing my fingers if this going to work right.

Yesterday someone told me that and I could not believe it either. As if there is not enough suffering going on. There is abuse here also and a lot but the people who really need it are not getting what they need sometimes.

Yeah if that budget goes through, I'm screwed! I'm on disability, Medicaid, and SNAP! The judge in January ruled I have six different conditions which make me totally disabled. I'm sure Trump thinks I'm some freeloader who needs to just get back to work though.

I fully agree with @MALUSE. If you can make good money in the warm and hot months, you can rest in winter. I hope that he would not cut the essential food stamps, but I know he is a mad man.

It just proves that those higher up never consider those on the bottom of the ladder. Might be time for you to start considering where you can build your fireplace.

So very sorry to note the sad reality of Trumps Executive Actions @nanette64 However, I'm hopeful these drastic changes would be hampered.

I hope he doesn't follow through with it.
