The Republicans and #trump are purposely cutting off food assistance to millions of poor American children and their parents/guardians. The money is there and available even during a #government shutdown. They are REFUSING to release it. 🤷🏿♀️
In the clip below, Michigan State Senator Mallory McMorrow reveals how Republicans and the Trump admin are purposely withholding money from tens of millions of poor American families while Democrats fight to keep Obamacare from skyrocketing in price at the beginning of next year.
Obamacare was allegedly based on a plan from the conservative Heritage Foundation. Despite massive criticism from the left, Democrats at the time refused to fight for a single-payer healthcare plan or at least a public option which would have allowed citizens to obtain health insurance from the federal government. This would have allowed tens of millions of people to NOT be at the mercy of state governors.
If Republicans continue to push for a massive spike in Obamacare premiums to make Obamacare and the Democrats look bad, over 40 million poor people (mostly people with children) won’t be able to access vital resources to keep their families fed.
According to a report from Breaking Points, a family of 4 can make no more than $42,000 a year in order to receive SNAP benefits. The benefits go to the poorest of Americans in the country.
