They are messing with shyt they don't understand, the cascade of ill effects will be severe: crimes, malnutrition, less disposable incomes for people on the edge, etc. Only a wicked heart could come up with such an idea. SNAP's are peanuts for the government fiscally but a a lifeline for the poor in this country. They are no jobs and they want to take away the little insurance low income folks have against complete penury :pacspit...Interestingly the advocates and wonks behind much of the anti welfare crusades from the late 80's early 90's have had a change of heart and now favor these programs.
