61 years ago today, the Food Stamp Act was signed with the hope that no American would go hungry. Now, we’re still pushing to make that vision a reality. As Trump guts SNAP, we’re fighting back because no one in our country should struggle to put food on the table.

Note the purposes of the act, and that the program was assigned to the Department of Agriculture. The program benefited farmers too. uscode.house.gov/statutes/pl/...
