Trump's New 'Let Them Eat Cake' Policy for Food Stamp Recipients

Trump wants to slash food stamps and replace them with a ‘Blue Apron-type program’ from the Washington Post
"The Trump administration wants to slash food aid to low-income families and make up the difference with a box of canned goods — a change that Office of Management and budget director Mick Mulvaney described in a Monday briefing as a “Blue Apron-type program.” ... Mulvaney's remarks drew raised eyebrows from some critics, who accuse the Trump administration official of drawing an unfair comparison between the food stamp program, which delivers an average of $1.37 per meal to America's poorest, and a high-end meal kit that runs $10 per serving."
Bet: Companies that produce those meals-in-a-box are major major Trump buddies or GOP donors.
