Republicans cut food assistance to punish the poor for being poor. When supermarkets lose food assistance revenue there is only one way for them to replace it. They are going to raise prices a lot. Supermarkets are paid a fee, not just reimbursements. Walmart isn't going to take the loss. We all pay

That's $400 million LESS for Missouri's grocers. That's lower volume sales for stores that will have to mark up prices to everyone in order to make rent and salaries. That's LESS wholesale sales TO stores from packers, bakers, and manufacturers, who then buy LESS from farmers. Foreclosures up!
