Great news...time to trim some fat.
Donald Trump wants to cut funding for housing aid subsidies, except for the housing aid subsidies Trump personally profits from. Trump gets to keep the $5 million dollars a year he makes from housing aid programs (while he cuts housing aid for needy Americans.)
Trump budget calls for cuts to housing aid except for subsidy that benefits Trump holding | TheHill

First republicans fought to give billionaire Donald Trump $15 million dollars a year in tax cuts, then republican support Trump keeping the $5 million a year he gets from housing aid subsidies, and then republicans come out fighting to cut welfare for needy Americans.

And republicans are even willing to take cuts to their own Social Security and Medicare so billionaires like Trump can get huge tax cuts.
Republicans Will Cut Social Security and Medicare After Tax Plan Passes, Says Marco Rubio

Its not just that republicans help and protect rich men more than they help and protect low income women and children. Republicans help and protect rich men more than themselves (to the point they are willing to take cuts to their own Social Security and Medicare to give rich men tax cuts.)

You are obviously ignorant about what poor people actually experience in order to make ends meet.

Most poor people are NOT lazy!

Most children of the poor only have one or two other siblings....

One or two too many. Can’t afford them, don’t breed. Simple concept.

In any case, even if the parents are idiots, does that mean that their children should suffer?

Is there no room in your ideology for the fact that sometimes bad things happen to good people?
That’s why you save instead of living paycheck to paycheck. Simple concept.

I dont give a damn if poor people buy junk food with their stamps.

Junk food is filing,believe it or not.

Why should they have to eat beans and rice every day? Why?

No, your assessment is too simple, due to the fact that your worldview is too narrow...

People generally experience unforeseen circumstances. There are such things as job loss, divorce, illness, injury, death, medical expenses, etc...

Some people who were once middle-class, only a few years later find themselves in need of food stamps. Widows who are also mothers of multiple children suddenly and quite unexpectedly find themselves unable to financially support their children.

There are many scenarios that can negatively impact the financial stability of American families.

You don't snatch the safety net from American children under any circumstances. That's whether their mothers have used poor judgement or not.

That's why we need to cover sex education and family planning in high school. In many secondary educational curricula, sex is never discussed in any beneficial manner.

Money to kill, cheat, steal and game the system.

No money to feed, care, unite.

What a time to be alive.
