The Department of Agriculture confirmed this week it is sticking to its timeline to tighten work requirements starting April 1. People without a disability or children must work 20 hours per week to qualify for SNAP, the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program formerly known as food stamps. The White House projects 700,000 people would lose SNAP eligibility. Lauren Bauer, a fellow with the Brookings Institution, filed access to information requests for figures from all 50 states and projected the number of people losing assistance would be much higher, at 1.3 million to 1.5 million.

Some hillbilly with an income of $17,000/year and an amputated foot due to lack of health care is celebrating Trump sticking it to lazy freeloaders as we're typing this, no doubt. 

There's plenty of hillbillies who makes $17k with an amputated foot due to a lack of healthcare and hate Trump (and in my experience with left-like hillbillies, hate the backstabbing democratic party too) who will be severely impacted too.
