WEAKKKKKKK AF
Americans voted for this. Let Trump and his po azz low income "middle America" base stomach growl for a little then run campaign ads that remind them TRUMP REFUSED THEN BLOCKED SNAP PAYMENTS which is a factual thing.
Your gonna cave in for SNAP but what good is that when MAGA already passed legislation to gut the program AND now will pass legislation to increase Healthcare premiums double fold?
Well, it's like I stated in my post, if the Dems can regain some power through the midterms and/or the upcoming presidential election then they can offer new affordable healthcare stipulations, credits, etc, sure that means things for some will unfortunately be high for the next few months but that's better than letting millions of Americans starve, indefinitely, expensive healthcare doesn't mean no healthcare.
You can't eat healthcare, in no scenario does that triumph the need for food. If Trump wasn't playing games, using delayed SNAP benefits and starving people for political gain, I believe the Dems would've held on longer but seeing what's transpired within the past week with SNAP, clearly these Dems voting on this new deal must've felt enough was enough and decided that something had to give even if it comes at a price.
Y'know what they say, having a “conscience do cost”.
Trump and Republicans made it clear they're not budging on the ACA credits, and have no problems letting people starve for months if necessary, so the Democrats realized what needed to be done to put an end to Trump's suffering of Americans in need of critical food assistance.
Sometimes one has to make sacrifices to ensure others don't fall through the cracks. Yes, it'll cost you for the time being, some will be upset, but the bigger picture is that you're saving people from going hungry. Now, in regard to SNAP, many of those cuts can be cleaned up as well. Just like during his first term, in regard to SNAP, Trump made cuts to the program, but Biden came in and cleared it up. So these SNAP cuts, while in effect now, are not permanent, and a Democrat president can work around them and clean them up.
