Did you see this headline from NBC?
Trump administration pursues a rule that would end food stamps for 3.1 million people
That evil President, right? He's taking food out of people's mouths and leaving them poor and hungry, right? Well, actually not; Trump isn't taking food stamps away from anyone who qualifies for them.
The food stamp program has certain requirements for qualifying to receive help from the government. A potential recipient cannot have income or assets above a certain level. Those levels were set by Congress before Trump took office and they are the law. Some states, however, are using a loophole to provide food stamps to people without checking to see if they qualify under the law. The new rule would require states to check if food stamp participants actually meet the legal requirements. It's not a ploy to take food from the poor. Rather, it is a move to enforce the law as written. Anyone who meets the requirements set by Congress will still get food stamps. The only people who will lose food stamps are those who don't meet the requirements, in other words, those who are cheating the system.
Why must NBC mislead people with Fake News? Is it in their DNA at the peacock network?
