Trump officials admit 'error' as report tears apart math behind SNAP cuts

Trump officials admitted to making a math error when they drew up plans to cut SNAP funds.

After initially announcing plans to cut SNAP benefits by 50 percent as the government entered its second month of a shutdown, the USDA reversed course Wednesday, stating in court that it done its sums incorrectly, and would now be funding 75 percent.

"There’s no way to know whether the USDA made a genuine mistake or purposefully tried to shortchange families," The New Republic wrote.

(Nope. Don’t believe it’s an error. More gameplaying. And didn’t judges order snap paid in full immediately? 75% is not in-full. Plus no payment date. This is exactly why we must not back down.)
