Now we have Robin Hood in reverse: Rob from the poor and give to the rich!

It is stunning to me that the Trump administration is on course to deny food stamp benefits to over 700,000 of our poorest citizens. The administration that has given back nearly a trillion dollars to the corporations and the richest among us while increasing our national debt beyond belief now is heartlessly cutting the neediest from their food life line.

The food stamp program has been one of the most efficient and effective programs run by our federal government, helping to lift millions of our neighbors out of poverty and giving them an real chance of success.
