Trump, who cut taxes by $1,500,000,000,000, is pushing spending cuts for foods stamps
There are two main arguments conservatives have marshalled in support of food-stamp cuts, and they’re both dishonest. The work requirements are often touted as an effort to nudge people in self-sufficiency. This is based on the assumption that people are sitting contentedly on their food stamp payments and skipping out on all sorts of employment opportunities that would vault them into prosperity. That’s not a great assumption.
The other argument for making it harder for poor people to buy food is somehow even flimsier. And that’s the need forThe United States government this year will spend nearly $1 trillion more than it takes in, financing the rest by borrowing money. By now, all that borrowing has added up to, by most calculations, something north of $20 trillion.
Who got those tax breaks? The biggest part of the law was dramatically cutting the corporate tax rate. Trump and Republicans also cut taxes for individuals, but the lion’s share of those will go to the very wealthy, as well as to the heirs of the very wealthy, who thanks to the law can now inherit millions up millions of dollars without paying a cent in taxes. Cool.
