Lower People Who Use SNAP Hold Up Our Country

When lower people on the hierarchy build an economy for those on top, the people who contribute often do not make what they are worth to society.

We see this with people who use SNAP benefits, who hold up our country but aren't supported or compensated appropriately.

SNAP benefits are for low-income households that meet certain criteria, including income, assets, household size, and residency. The largest groups of recipients are children, adults aged 60 or older, and people with disabilities. People who are unemployed, working for low wages, or receiving public assistance may also qualify. 

Republicans who are supporting the authoritarian regime of Donald Trump and the very wealthy obviously have little concern for those in lower groups holding up the hierarchy. Let them eat cake. 

It's All About Sending More Resources to the Top, Including to Kristi Noem

The US Government, through the Coast Guard, has purchased two luxury private jets for Kristi Noem, the Homeland Security Secretary, at a total cost of more than $170 million in taxpayer money. The federal government remains shut down, imperiling food aid and other assistance for tens of millions of Americans, and Trump is threatening to fire many more employees to "save money."

Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.), the top Democrat on the House Committee on Homeland Security, called the spending “wholly inappropriate,” “blatantly immoral,” and “probably illegal” in a statement issued Sunday.

“While the nation suffers under this corrupt and extreme administration, Secretary Noem is fleecing the American taxpayers to live in luxury,” said Thompson. “Not only does she now have multiple fancy jets to use, she lives rent-free on Coast Guard property.”

Republican Mike Johnson Will Say Anything to Keep Accountability Away from the Top

Speaker Mike Johnson defended President Donald Trump’s weekend social media post showing him dropping apparent human excrement on protesters in the "No Kings" March in comments to reporters today, calling it “satire.”

While all thinking people in the world know Trump's video to be disgusting and deplorable, we can count on Republicans to do whatever it takes to try to keep accountability away from the extreme top of their hierarchies, this time Trump himself.
