At this point and with all that's occured I honestly believe that really nothing would come of Trump firing Mueller. I don't really got any evidence other than that it seems the Republican's are hell bent on destroying our democracy .

I'm pretty sure they've already changed the food stamp program to allow states to mess with the requirements needed to be met like working etc.. and shorten the time allowed for them.

You basically just cut 75 billion? dollars from the economy which would cause some businesses in low income neighborhoods where 80 to 90 percent of the purchases are made to basically fail so you'd have a lot of mom and pops go out of business but large companies like Wal Mart won't be as strongly affected.

Eliminating food stamps wouldn't cause Wal Mart to fail but in some areas of deep poverty you'd see some effect.

nobody's saying wal-mart would be battling for their survival. they would likely though figure out who they needed to bribe to preserve SNAP since it is a huge driver of sales for wal-mart and generates billions worth of revenue per year

Its probably just my cynicism right now with everything going on but I could see the Republicans reforming SNAP and then making it so the funds can only be spent at specific retailers. Sort of how there are WIC grocery stores.

yall have some pretty big misunderstandings regarding how SNAP and WIC function and are administrated. you can't have SNAP stores and it's not possible to cut off specific states

I'm actually very familiar with SNAP and WIC as I sign people up for the program through a volunteer outreach LGBT Center program.

You absolutely can set SNAP up to function that way if they reform it and Republicans could change the program so you can only use SNAP funds at approved locations or retailers.

It's not even that difficult to do and Republican's have wanted to do this for years really.

I can totally see Republican's pushing for welfare reform next year through the reconcilliation process. They got their Tax plan through which was incredibly unpopular.

If I am understanding the timing correctly then if there is a Dem Sweep in the fall of 2018 before the new legislatures come in the Republicans can most certainly use the reconciliation process to get a few more reforms through and one of those would be the welfare reform.


That'd leave the Democrats trying to figure out how to restore healthcare and restore SNAP etc.. over the next two years.

I'm not saying they'll campaign on it but I could see them in retaliation of a heavy defeat doing something like on the way out and you know I really think they would.

Like they passed a historically unfavorable tax plan that polled poorly and only enriched the wealthy.

So yeah if they lose in November, I could see them pushing something like that through before they left and I think the timing is right.

SNAP doesn't allow an deduction for student loans from your income so that's something that affects millineals , so you could make above the gross limit for a single person for snap qualifications but you would be well under the net.

If they allowed that deduction you'd probably see more young people in SNAP
