If you take SNAP and you reduce it or you eliminate it, you are obviously going to impact not just the poor families that are receiving it.
If those budget cuts, even the most conservative budget cut, that is to say, putting it back to levels of several years ago, would result, not in an increase in Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children (WIC)…
if you authorize it, if Congress creates the opportunity for this, we will be more than happy to utilize that program.
I think there are a lot of misconceptions about SNAP, and I think it stems from who people think are on SNAP.
