Trump's budget proposal is a manifestation of empty rhetoric and broken promises & exemplifies this Administration's lack of understanding for the needs of the American people. Just take a look at how this budget guts the foundation of the American dream.

It isn't enough to be poor in this budget, you have to be made to feel worthless.
@hbottemiller takes us through#SNAP changes: "The proposal was so out of left field that some anti-hunger advocates initially thought it was a joke." https://www.politico.com/story/2018/02/12/food-stamps-trump-administration-343245 …Show this thread -
