Republicans Target Federal Anti-Hunger Program as They Prepare Trump Tax Package
Limiting funding for SNAP could help defray the costs of President Trump’s tax plans, but could result in millions of low-income families losing access to aid.
[...]
As part of their forthcoming package to cut taxes and reduce federal spending, Republicans proposed expanding the existing work requirements to cover food stamp recipients up to age 64, including those with children who are at least age seven.
That amounts to a significant expansion of existing law, which currently only requires beneficiaries up to age 54 to work in exchange for SNAP, and excludes those with dependents. Studying similar Republican proposals in recent years, the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office has estimated that work requirements and other rules could result in millions of enrollees losing access to the program. (The budget watchdog has not yet released an analysis on the party’s newest proposal.)
Republicans also proposed limiting nutrition aid to only U.S. citizens and green card holders. States would be required for the first time to contribute funding to the federal food stamp program beginning in 2028. And the Republican proposal would try to limit future administrations from boosting the benefits that low-income Americans receive in nutrition aid.
I've worked with people that came to Europe by boat and eventually regularised their situation here in France. I myself did 5 years in the FFL to secure my citizenship. It's not supposed to be easy, but I guess you're not desperate enough (which is great, means things aren't that fugged yet and you can still plan ahead!). But I'm NGL, the situation can feel/is(?) very claustrophobic and unsolvable, I hope you find somewhere safe to be in whether that's inside or outside the US.
Fun way to admit you were a fascist shock trooper
Classic:
Citizen: I'm poor and lack social mobility
Enlightened individual: Have you considered helping kill members of the Global South?
whoa yikes. I wouldn't just go around admitting that.
EDIT: Now that they're banned I guess they won't be responding to my replies in the current Hasan Piker thread. Too bad :|
Like admitting you were some kind of normal troop would give you the ick as is but admitting you're French Foreign Legion would be the rough equivalent as admitting you're Army special operations command Rangers. You're the French equivalent of Tier 2 spec ops.
Yeah, also, talk about not reading the room, with Ibrahim Traore making big waves and things really starting to turn around for people in the Sahel region while they kick out the ghastly French, lol
Probably that user's FFL friends are helping out with all the assassination attempts on Traore
