He is slyly letting you know that he is in trouble by cutting everything from housing to food aid…US Congress to cut food stamps by $9 billion

Greetings,

If you thought that food stamp cuts were inhumane…and if you think that you are hungry or near starving now, just wait to see your situation in the coming weeks. Hunger and the threat of hunger grows. The funding to help people eat is being cut and whittled down to bones.

The weight of his fiscal problems and the weight of trying to carry his ex-slaves in order to keep them near to him to prevent him from seeking something of his own, is now to heavy a weight to carry. He is being forced to drop you. He is slyly letting you know that he is in trouble by cutting everything from housing to food aid.

This shows us that the empire is in deep deep trouble…” You notice that our Black People…especially here in America…have become sold to nothing in the world but sport and play. This is the way the people were of Lot and Noah; they were sold to sport and play and they hated the teachings of those righteous Prophets. And the day of their doom came, unexpected to them because they did not heed their warnings. So it is here today…24 hours a day…they are trying to have sport and play and talking over foolish things, spending their time in foolishness. I fear of an evil day overtaking my people here in America soon.

   True…the world is warning you now, and you act as though the white people can help it. But they are telling you now that unemployment keeps  mounting and they can do nothing about it. They are warning you that you are going to get hungry too, but you are not trying to take it with sincerity that they are telling you the truth. You are like a child who cries to its mother for bread and milk, whether there is any in the kitchen or not.”–pg.217 & 218(tfoa)

    US Congress to cut food stamps by $9 billion

—

The cuts to the program, which will affect nearly a million households over the next decade, are part of multi-year farm bill which sets spending levels for federal agriculture and food policy.

The giant piece of legislation is expected to get a vote in the House of Representatives on Wednesday, after which it will be subject to a vote in the Senate.

The cuts are a compromise between nearly $40 billion in cuts to the program approved by the Republican-controlled House of Representatives and a $4 billion reduction approved by the Democratic-controlled Senate.

The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) has already undergone a $5 billion cut when a temporary increase in food stamp dollar expired on Nov. 1.

A household of three lost $29 in food aid per month as a result of the cuts that left each person to spend an average of $1.40 per meal.

The new farm bill, on which lawmakers across the aisle have agreed, will save around $23 billion over a decade.

American doctors and food banks across the country have already warned against the consequences of the planned cuts to the programs.

According to the American medical community, increased rates of diabetes and developmental problems for young children are among the health risks of hunger which would be a direct result of cutting funding for the SNAP.

Food banks also face an increase in the number of their visitors and say they have to turn people seeking help away because they do not have enough supplies.

“Make no mistake, if the food stamp program is cut, we’re going to see much longer lines of people seeking help with their food budgets, and we can’t help them all,” said Nancy E. Roman, executive director at the Capital Area Food Bank in Washington, D.C.

Margarette Purvis, the president of the Food Bank for New York City, the largest food bank in the US, has also warned against the cuts, saying “devastating cuts [to the SNAP] have pushed thousands of low-income New Yorkers and emergency food providers to the very brink of survival.”
