1. SNAP como Subsidio Fundamental para la Agricultura.
El Programa de Asistencia Nutricional Suplementaria (SNAP) fue concebido históricamente como una herramienta para gestionar los excedentes agrícolas y estabilizar los mercados, siendo administrado por el USDA. Su función principal es inyectar dinero en la industria alimentaria, garantizando un mercado constante para los productores.
- Snap is a department of agricultural subsidy. They are fucking over farmers and taking food from poor people.
- Snap is run by the usda. It is, and always has been, an agricultural subsidy filtered through poor americans and back to farmers to cushion them against losing money in lean times.
- Snap is a form of subsidies to farmers in case you didnt know. Trump wants increased farm defaults so big ag companies can buy up land for pennies and control more of the market.
- Snap originated as a subsidy for the farmers if it is cut as planned it'll be another devastating blow for them.
2. Devastación Económica para Agricultores y Comunidades Rurales.
Los recortes a SNAP eliminan una fuente sustancial de ingresos para los agricultores, especialmente los pequeños y medianos, que ya enfrentan pérdidas por las guerras arancelarias y la escasez de mano de obra. Esta reducción en la demanda interna amenaza la viabilidad de las granjas y la economía de las comunidades rurales.
- Fun fact: stripping snap benefits from people means they don’t have money to buy groceries produced by the very same farmers that trump is “protecting”. So that’s an 11bn hit to to the agriculture markets.
- Snap is a farm aid program. The money works its way back to farmers. So now farmers are being cut out of domestic markets and foreign markets. No markets no farmers no food.
- Snap cuts farmers lose business rural communities suffer grocery prices rise trump’s trade war already cost farmers overseas clients—now republicans are making it harder at home.
- Snap accounts for 12 of grocery store sales nationwide and up to 70 in rural areas. It is brutal but democrats have to make republicans starve their base.
- Snap also is supposed to subsidize farmers and others in the food supply industry. Not sure why the current administration hate agriculture so much when the farmers overwhelmingly voted for him.
3. La Paradoja de la Crueldad Política.
Existe una profunda ironía en que los recortes a SNAP sean impulsados por políticos que afirman apoyar a los agricultores, muchos de los cuales son su base de votantes. La narrativa sugiere que el objetivo principal es la crueldad hacia los beneficiarios, sin importar el daño colateral a la economía agrícola y a los propios votantes rurales.
- It’s horrible that the farmers who voted for trump to destroy their customers with tariffs are now wanting government welfare. How about snap being cut? there is no money to feed people.
- The only reason anyone opposes it is because they hate the poor and want them to suffer.
- Snap is a usda program, not a welfare program! how do you think lets go brandon farmers in iowa or nebraska feel about having this farm-support program suspended?
- Bailing farmers out(giving them money without requiring them to provide food) while cutting snap is sick. They produce a necessary good- and the government would rather give them money for nothing than help poor people get food.
- Snap is a demonstrably well-run program. But ag subsidies are quite the opposite.
