Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue has also shared his thoughts on the Trump administration’s proposed plan:

The Battle Over Food Stamps in America

Like other controversial, political matters, opinions regarding food stamp beneficiaries are incredibly diverse. While some people believe the SNAP program should stay as is, others are in favor of potential changes, such as the aforementioned. Furthermore, the argument over whether food stamps are more helpful or harmful to the U.S. also remains ongoing.

There are some people in this country who fundamentally disagree with restricting or even modifying the access of current SNAP beneficiaries. These Americans believe that any changes would bring harm to the poorest and most vulnerable people.
