Federal minimum wage is $7.25/hour.

Multiply by 40 & subtract out rent, utilities, phone, transportation, medicine, clothing, healthcare & see what’s left for food.

Show your work.

Working poor people need food assistance b/c employers steal their grocery money to benefit shareholders.

Republicans have no money for SNAP to feed Americans, but when this guy needs $40 billion to bail him out before his election, that becomes Trump’s #2 priority after his ballroom.
Did anyone else catch that brief glimmer of joy in Rubio's eyes during this scene? 🤣
And, recently, California became the 4th largest economy. These ideas must be working.

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

A president imposing tariffs (on us) because he’s annoyed (by a real ad not fake) is not how the law works.

We are off the cliff, folks. 🇺🇸

SNAP is not the reason your taxes are high.

SNAP recipients don’t need to “just go get a job”.

Most of them work. The rest are disabled, elderly, children or caregivers.

People need & deserve assistance

Your taxes fund wars and tax cuts for the ultra rich

Be mad about that

Wait until he hears that Reagan didn't trust the Russians.

Want to see how far right the Republican Party has gone?

Watch George H. W. Bush and Ronald Reagan answer a question about illegal immigration during a 1980 debate.

They wouldn’t even be allowed in today’s Republican Party.

“According to a 2019 USDA report, every dollar in new SNAP benefits increases GDP by $1.50 in a weak economy.”

“SNAP benefits are one of the fastest, most effective forms of economic stimulus because they get money into the economy quickly during a recession.”

He looks like he's thinking "I can't believe he told them about 'The Master Plan' we came up with two years ago!"
