Trump: Cutting food assistance in budget bill "is going to give everybody much more food because prices are..."

[Silver Gaia]

32. That makes total sense.

There used to be USDA "food assistance" where you could go stand in line once a month, if you qualified as poor enough, and get a 5# block of cheese, some canned goods, a little produce, etc. He probably thinks it's like that, and of course, no one can tell him that isn't what this is because, to his mind, he knows everything. So, he thinks it's food set aside to give away that would then be freed for the stores to sell. But he is taking away money from people to buy food with instead. That means prices won't go down, they will more likely go up because less will be bought. What a fucking moron.
