Trump Administration to food banks: “Let them eat nothing”
The Trump Administration cuts $1 billion from food banks in order to fund tax cuts for the 1% and corporations.
“Food banks across New England are scrambling after the Trump administration this month cut some $1 billion from programs that help them obtain food for distribution, increasing concerns about meeting demand when hunger is already soaring.
“For many of the region’s pantries, food given out with the support of federal assistance amounts to 10 to 30 percent of their total distributions. The unexpected cuts are likely to disrupt food availability for communities nationwide, local leaders said.”
Shame.

Well they better save that 1 billion to subsidize the farmers who lost that market, the USAID market and are threatened with the loss of a whole lot of other markets with the tariff wars. It takes a special kind of genius to simultaneously increase the number of hungry people in a country at the same time you have farmers who can not dispose of the food they have grown or raised. Assuming they can even harvest or process the food without undocumented labor.
