Over 71 million Americans are paid less than a living wage, and are forced into social safety nets like SNAP.
If you think too many people are receiving SNAP benefits, don’t shame them.
Shame their employers paying them poverty wages and forcing taxpayers to subsidize the rest.

Either the administration intends to further massively expand their trade war, is just blatantly lying about the revenue projections, or some combination of the two.
