Cost to fund SNAP and keep 42 million people from starving:

$100 billion

Cost of lost revenue due to tax cuts for the richest Americans in the top 1%:

$100 billion

One is decried as "welfare." One is not.

Why?

Any discussion of the SNAP benefits being stopped needs to include peoples healthcare premiums doubling or worse. That's litterally how the debate has been framed: should the Ds take away health care for tens of millions of Americans, or take away food?

I understand the sentiment of "we need to find some way to not all see each other mortal enemies" but it REALLY REALLY needs to be made expressly clear that one side wants to live and be happy and the other side is "that's a line too far and you must suffer and die" and you can't Kumbaya that.
oh no. no. absolutely the fuck not. fuck off.
