Hair on fire article.
A "hunger cliff" is looming for millions of Americans, with 32 states set to slash food-stamp benefits beginning in March.
The cuts will impact more than 30 million people who are enrolled in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP, in those states, according to data from the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Among the states where recipients are facing cuts are California and Texas, which have greatest number of people on SNAP, at 5.1 million and 3.6 million recipients, respectively.
The reductions are due to the end of so-called emergency allotments, which bolstered food-stamp benefits at the start of the pandemic as Americans grappled with the massive disruption to the economy. While the U.S. is certainly on more stable footing than in 2020, households are now struggling with high food costs — groceries were about 10% higher in December than a year earlier — making the timing of the SNAP cuts particularly challenging, experts say.
More "hair on fire"
BTW....What's a hunger cliff?
Guess they will have to lay-off buying all the frozen crab legs and switch from name brand to store brand items like the majority of what is left of "the middle class" buy who actually work for a living due in this inflated Tater economy.
That and in case you haven't noticed the "poor" are the fattest bunch of poor people I've ever seen.
It's not a nation of depression era Florence Thompsons we are talking about here.
The "poor" are as about as broad as they are tall.
Food Bank "shoppers".....Really?
