State Rep Scheetz:

The #GOP just proposed new restrictions on the types of #food eligible for purchase with #SNAP benefits, putting even more pressure on families with children.

In addition, they would aim to keep families with more than one vehicle from receiving help. 👎

@grammasaurus And fetuses. Why do people think they care about them when they cut $$ for food, poverty, and health programs that positively affect the fetus and the woman carrying it?

@GottaLaff I’d love for even one GOP member of Congress to live with the restrictions they seem hell-bent on imposing. Minimum wage? No fresh meat? Substandard healthcare? Zero sick days? The legislators wouldn’t make it a week.
