The Hunger Games Begin, 40 million Americans are about to lose food stamps

[John Clark]

Nobel prize winning economist Paul Krugman has some interesting things to say about the current government shut down. The poor losing their healthcare is not the only thing that He Who Must Not Be Named has instigated: 

"The pain from lost food aid will, if anything, hurt Republican voters worse than Democrats. For example, Owsley County in Kentucky. The county is 96 percent white, and last year it cast 88 percent of its votes for Trump. Also, 37 percent of residents are on SNAP, the Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program, formerly known as food stamps."
