Wisconsin would lose about $314 million in food assistance from the federal government under the massive budget bill passed by the U.S. House last week, according to an analysis of the proposed cuts by the Wisconsin Department of Health Services.

The legislation, which President Donald Trump refers to as the “big, beautiful bill,” would require states to start matching federal funds for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP. It would also impose new work requirements on families with young children and older people, and it would require regular paperwork to prove exemptions from such requirements for some groups, such as families with special needs children.

Speaking to reporters Thursday, Wisconsin Medicaid Director Bill Hanna said those changes amount to new red tape that could cause 90,000 Wisconsinites to lose some or all assistance.

He said that would put new pressure on nonprofits like food pantries and have ripple effects at the retailers where people spend what’s commonly known as food stamps.

1. OH SNAP!

3. So there are more than 1900 supermarkets in Wisconsin

If they were all of the same size, they would lose $160,000 each in a year.

Sounds to me like each store would drop 8 employees. Who would need SNAP benefits if they could get them. 8 x 1900 = 15,200 more unemployed.

That's a bigger impact than I would have thought.

4. It's a different kind of 1%, except this one conducted podiatric ballistics.

5. I've increased my monthly donation to the regional food bank of the Hudson River Valley to help them cope.

If a enough of us helped our local food banks, we could feed the people Trump is trying to starve.
What does he care about whether or not people have enough food to eat. He's got all the cheeseburgers he can shove down his throat.
