Early in his Presidency, Trump signed into law a bill that increases our deficit by nearly $2 TRILLION to pay for corporate welfare + help the richest become wealthier.
Now, he's trying to take roughly $1/meal from 3 million American families struggling to get by. #HandsOffSNAP
Food stamps kept me from going hungry when I was a teenager. Without them, I never would have been able to serve our country in the Army, the VA or in Congress. #HandsOffSNAP
No child should go hungry, and no parent should have to choose between paying rent or paying for groceries. This is a systematic effort to make it harder for people to get themselves out of poverty.
Instead of punishing working families if they work more hours or penalizing seniors and those with disabilities who save for emergencies, Trump should be passing policies that help Americans afford the basics and save for their futures.
I’m committed to defending critical safety net programs like SNAP. You can make your voice heard by leaving a comment at regulations.gov/document?D=FNS… for the next 60 days. #HandsOffSNAP
