Trump on SNAP: Our country has to remain very liquid... We can't give everything away.

Trump on SNAP: "Our country has to remain very liquid because problems, catastrophes, wars -- it could be anything. We have to remain liquid. We can't give everything away."

Trump on food stamp recipients: "It wasn't meant for people that could do whatever they want. The people that say, 'Well, I don't think I'll work. I'll just collect this money.'"

5. Proof He Doesn't Know What Liquidity Is

Besides, none of his businesses ever had liquidity. That's why he stacked loans on top of loans to create cash flow squeezed by earlier loans.

We can't give money meant for rich people to poor people. Just think if Krasnov instead gave the tax cuts to SNAP.

... it's like a disability. Nobody wants to employ such a person. Better that they have some support than a life of crime or homelessness.

Really, if there was a basic guaranteed income with no test, life would be simpler and easier for the people who don't need as well as those who do. In total it saves money on emergency services, policing, addiction treatment and, most importantly, provides much better outcomes for children.

He can't take this opportunity to just shutdown the program because he thinks people are receiving them and thus deciding not to work. Thats what the vaunted work requirement is for, isnt it? Fucking immoral bastard.
