WASHINGTON - A handful of U.S. lawmakers have a unique argument for asking President Donald Trump not to slash the food stamp program - they themselves once relied on it.
In their letter to Trump, nine Democratic lawmakers said they had each participated in the program"during times of financial struggle for our families." Asking the administration to"remove all intended cuts" to the program, the lawmakers said in their letter:"We are writing today on behalf of the over 36 million American families who currently depend on SNAP, like ours once did, to make ends meet and help the next generation achieve upward mobility."
