SNAP Assistance Ripped Away
The House held a debate titled ‘SNAP Assistance Ripped Away,’ concerning changes to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (food assistance). Representative Gabe Amo, a Democrat, said a recently enacted Republican law has taken food assistance away from 4.5 million SNAP recipients, including 1.5 million children, and that more than 16,000 people in Rhode Island are affected. He said food costs are rising and families in his district are struggling, and argued Congress should not reduce food help for working people while spending on wars and, in his words, helping billionaires.
