The largest SNAP cuts in history went into effect yesterday, eliminating or drastically cutting food assistance for millions of Americans. And it’s all to pay for more tax cuts that primarily benefit the super-rich. Trickle-down economics isn't just a hoax — it's cruel.

unions for workers enriched all the working class. Everywhere a union formed many other workers in the community saw wage increases.....to keep them from unionizing. Strong and even weak unions aided middle class growth. All of which as stagnated since 1980 when Reagan and the BBB went after unions
