Oh SNAP!

The reduction in the funding of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) program is despicable. Taking around 40 billion dollars out of the SNAP program will lead to the starvation of many families, and would also be an immoral and unethical decision. The increase in guidelines and cut offs is appalling and uncalled for. Many people have to worry about where their next meal is going to come from. Even many students have these worries, and these worries will be increasing due to the passing of the reduction on this law. Students shouldn't be worrying about these things they should be worrying about their future, their education and their future career. These food stamps aren't luxurious, they are used to gain people's basic and essential needs and for some families a means of survival.
