    SNAP helps people in meaningful ways but it's not without flaws. This Farm Bill will modernize asset tests by raising qualifying limits to incentivize saving for a rainy day or buying a car. These changes will put beneficiaries in a better spot to succeed.https://youtu.be/Us4nCQA-H1Q?t=30s …

        Your #FarmBill harms #NY19 SNAP recipients & perpetuates harmful myths about the program. New work requirements will kick off thousands & cost so much more $$$ in bureaucratic nonsense. Last year you came for your constituents’ healthcare, this year, their food. #FireFaso

        How is a single mother making minimum wage supposed to save for a car when it's already near impossible to pay for food and child care? Once again you willfully misunderstand the position that most SNAP recipients are in. The goal is to feed people, not punish them.

        you need to stop ... everything you're doing... NOW. The things you are trying to do are in direct contradiction to what your constituents NEED. This is just another attempt to transfer more wealth to the rich corps, as if the #GOPTaxScam wasnt enough? REALLY? Pack your bags.pic.twitter.com/dSz728EeCX

        We're not fooled. The GOP is going after Social Security, health care, and SNAP to give huge tax cuts to the wealthy. #GOPtaxscam will hurt working families. Gas prices and unemployment going up. Where are trump's taxes? Have a town hall. #ny19

        The GOP would have us think that it's the majority gaming the system, when really, SNAP is mostly elderly, kids, and disabled, and most of the people who can work, do. The actual rate of fraud is quite small. This will hurt people in need, to chase a "boogeyman" #SNAP #ny19

        If the minimum wage was a living wage, people could work and actually support themselves. But instead people patch together two or three part time jobs, huge businesses like Walmart make money by paying little money & no benefits, and the rich get richer. #SNAP #ny19 #VoteThemOut

        And because the GOP does everything they can to make sure regular people don't have health insurance, people skip medication, or they drown in medical bills if there's an emergency. The ACA reduced bankruptcies by half; GOP doing everything they can to undo it. #ny19 #VoteThemOut

        I'm not a Faso fan, and there are parts of this that i do not like, but the part about raising of qualifying limits seems like a good thing. Watch the video before you comment. The other stuff is crap though... 1/2

        You end with "we need to create more opportunity" w/o mentioning opportunity in the body of your speech and w/o proposing a single idea of how to do it. Saying you want more able-body adults to work means nothing w/o a strategy to make it happen. I don't think you have one. 2/2

        Oh one more thing. Perhaps you could exit your safe space and have a Townhall with your actual constituents. I bet a group of people like that could help you strategize and come up with some great ideas.

        I have no idea what that means. Isn’t the poverty level enough for you? Are you raising or lowering the income requirements? People need to eat. Why are you talking about savings and buying cars? @DelgadoforNY19
