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.
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
