You wonder why they cut the SNAP and other benefits? They didn't really have to to make the same effects. They could have just left the funding where was. Cutting Social Security is a given and just makes the eldery even more home bound.
It is all about Voter suppression and turning the spending to the Military and Industrial complexes. Who cares about the bottom 80%... combined only have about 7% of the money, they are using it to subsist, nothing important like buying (not leasing) a new $100K Cadillac/Ferrari/BMW/Porsche/Corvette every two.
