        Fully agreed. The billions they’re hoarding is money that should be funding all the things the taxpayers need–the basics like food/shelter/healthcare… Things that countries with much smaller GDPs don’t have nearly as much difficulty figuring out.

        I also think it’s worth noting that the states receiving the most SNAP benefits include New York, California, and Texas–it’s very possible Trump is doing this especially because it stands to affect 2 states he’s not entirely thrilled with. Across the country, 42 million people have been relying on the SNAP benefits they were receiving, which average approx $190/mo per person. Where are the billionaires lining up to help these folks in need?
