Hey there! 😊 Have you ever heard of food stamps? In the United States, some families get help buying food through a program called SNAP, which stands for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. It’s like a special card that helps them buy groceries when money is tight.
Recently, President Donald Trump announced some big changes. His new spending bill plans to cut money from programs that help people who are poor or have disabilities. That includes SNAP. 😟
These cuts mean many families who rely on food stamps might get less help than before. Imagine if your family suddenly had less money for groceries—that would be really tough, right?
Reporters like Nitza Soledad Perez from CGTN talked to people who will be affected by these changes. They’re worried about how they’ll feed their families. It’s a big concern for lots of people across the country.
Why is this happening? The government wants to save money in certain areas, but some people think cutting programs that help families isn’t the best idea.
What do you think about this? Should governments find other ways to save money? 💭
It’s important to stay informed about what’s happening in the world because these decisions can affect many people’s lives.
