    Rep. Ralph Abraham Retweeted Greg Hilburn

    No child, senior or mentally/physically disabled person will lose SNAP. Work-capable adults will be expected to work or train for a job, and we guarantee job training for all who want it. Why would Democrats oppose job training and helping people break free of poverty? #LA05https://twitter.com/GregHilburn1/status/984791810164830211 …

        why would you want to starve anyone? At all? SNAP is food assistance for poor people. Denying food assistance is starving people. It's a war crime if we did it to our enemies. But to do it to our own citizens?

        What if the child, senior citizen, or mentally/physically disabled person is being CARED FOR by work-capable adult? Who will do the caretaking in those 20 hours?

        Perhaps it's because they've seen these type programs get established before and then the funding for them get cut. They're simply skeptical, as they should be. What guarantees are in place to make sure this program stays funded?

        The problem is messaging. More Republicans need to be reiterating that cancer patients and the most needy are considered “disabled” and therefore they would still get SNAP benefits. We don’t expect those people to work while getting chemotherapy.
