How Krasnov Is Rationalizing His Cuts To SNAP Benefits
Over 20 million Americans receive SNAP, not any longer. The CBO estimates the cuts to SNAP to give tax breaks to the rich will eliminate 2.4 million SNAP recipients. So how is Krasnov rationalizing these cuts?
The government has been doing a study for 30 years that determines the amount of Americans with food insecurity. In 2021 10.2% of Americans claimed food insecurity, in 2023 - 12.8%, in September of 2024 it rose to 13.5%.
The government uses these statistics to justify increases in SNAP benefits.
Enter Krasnov and his tax cuts for the rich, even though there is an upward trend in food insecurity, Krasnov is cutting SNAP benefits, the reason why, Krasnov abolished the Food Insecurity study so we won't know how many Americans are struggling to feed their kids.
Let them eat cake.
