The White House released its budget proposal today, which outlined
cuts to domestic programs and increased spending for the military. The
budget titled “Efficient, Effective, Accountable: An American Budget,”
also included over $200 million in cuts to the Supplemental Nutrition
Assistance Program (SNAP), and “a bold new approach to administering”
benefits, which would allocate less money for recipients to spend at
grocery stores.
The new approach to SNAP benefits combines traditional Electronic
Benefit Transfer (EBT) cards with a “Harvest Box,” which the budget
proposal describes as “100-percent American grown foods provided
directly to households.” Participants would receive these boxes in lieu
of a portion of their SNAP benefits.
Oh the Horror having to work and buy your own food!..the world is coming to an end!
