  1. Yet Trump flies to his private golf course each weekend, eats steak and shrimp, and saber-rattles all over the world. “Let them eat cake” indeed. Pathetic.

  2. A lot of people are gaming the system. Such as people living together but not getting married to maximize benefits. Only counting one income instead of two.

    That said, I do believe that most people receiving SNAP benefits probably do need assistance.

    More and more of this will eventually go back to the states. The federal government is broke.
