A7a: Thread: Trump’s proposal to roll back SNAP cat-el would penalize families w/ kids, seniors, & people w/ disabilities who have modest savings by taking away their food assistance. It’s misguided at best: cbpp.org/press/statemen… #FoodFri #HandsOffSNAP
A7b: The proposed change to #SNAP would take food assistance away from 3 million people, making it harder for struggling families to make ends meet. But it’s not just adults that would be harmed… #FoodFri #HandsOffSNAP
A7c: Kids in families that receive #SNAP b/c of the cat-el rule can also get free meals at school. About 500,000 kids would lose their automatic eligibility for free school meals under this Trump proposal: cbpp.org/press/statemen… #FoodFri

A5a: Having an accurate measure of #poverty is critical to ensuring that working families, children, seniors, & people with disabilities can make ends meet: cbpp.org/research/pover… #RedefiningPoverty #FoodFri
A5b: The official #poverty line is already too low. Prices have been rising faster than the current poverty line accounts for. 1 example? The poorest 5th of households devote 2x as large a share of spending to rent than the average household. cbpp.org/research/pover… #FoodFri
A5c: The #RedefiningPoverty Trump admin proposal would make an already low #poverty line increasingly inadequate to a raise a family. #FoodFri Image
