The Public Record
Now, it may be easy and politically expedient to point to one millionaire in Minnesota who purposefully defrauded the American government and taxpayers as a publicity stunt, but that one individual is not representative of all SNAP recipients, and we all know the truth is much more complicated than that.
Unfortunately, I think there is a tendency by some to want to reflexively reduce the cost of programs without thinking about the individuals who will be harmed by such actions.
I am just puzzled by some of the testimony as to whose responsibility is it.
I am confident that this program will protect lives and property when future--those future storms inevitably hit.
But let's be clear: USDA is not kicking 3.1 millionaires off of SNAP. It is kicking 3.1 million vulnerable people off of SNAP.
First of all, I would hope you wouldn't, because there seems to be too many questions out there that have not been answered appropriately.
we hope you can shed light today on what appears to be perpetual stonewalling by HUD and Secretary Carson
I find it troubling that the President's fiscal year 2020 budget request included a $9 million reduction in FAA safety funding.
I hope there is good oversight. I don't understand why money is being held up when HUD certified that the Territory's financial controls are adequate.
