Trump is Trying to Get Around Paying People Fully Their Food Stamp Money

AMERICAN People….

A Federal Judge told the Government to pay SNAP Food benefits in FULL….

First Trump said No….

They his people said forget the boss….

We’ll pay 65%….

States across the country ….

Including Red ones are in a bad play….

We’re talking about FOOD….

This high stakes poker game going on between Trump and the Democrats has the states worried about paying the program’s bill’s….

There IS probably going to a lag and some loss of revenue for states no matter what….

 

The judge has now ordered that the Government pay IN FULL money allowed to the states BY CONGRESS…NOT Trump….

Today we find out that Trump has sent his Lawyers back to an Appeals court to try and overrule the judges order to pay FULLY money so people, American people, Do NOT starve…

SERIOUSLY?

There IS SOMETHING VERY Wrong with America these days…..

And seems that only most of the Federal Judges BELOW the Supreme’s ARE the Firewall against a non-caring very WRONG President & Co.
