Budget Reconciliation Update: Cuts to SNAP are Cuts to School Meals - Food Research & Action Center
No cuts to the federal child nutrition programs were included in the House Education and Workforce Committee’s bill
However (from your excellent link):


Even though the Committee did not include direct cuts to school meals, the reconciliation process continues to move forward, and proposals to cut programs could be incorporated at various points in that process. Advocacy is still needed to protect access to school meals and stop the proposed cuts to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) and Medicaid.

Cuts to SNAP and Medicaid are cuts to school meals.

  • Children are directly certified for free school meals if their household participates in SNAP, and most states directly certify children for free and/or reduced-price school meals using Medicaid data and a means test. If Congress cuts SNAP or Medicaid and children lose access to these programs, they will also lose their direct connection to free or reduced-price school meals and will have to complete a school meal application. This additional paperwork would burden families and school nutrition staff, and some eligible children will fall through the cracks.
  • These cuts would also reduce the number of schools able to offer free meals to all students through CEP. Fewer schools would be eligible for CEP, and it would be less financially viable for those schools that remain eligible because reimbursements are primarily determined by the number of students who are directly certified.
Cuts to SNAP and Medicaid would also negatively impact participation in the Summer EBT Program and the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC).

What’s next? House GOP leadership continues to work toward a unified budget reconciliation bill. Other committees are expected to mark up their sections over the next few weeks, with the House Agriculture Committee (which has jurisdiction over SNAP) expected to mark-up the week of May 12. Keep the pressure on all Members of Congress and urge them to oppose and speak out against proposals to cut, gut, or weaken SNAP, Medicaid, and school meals.

The article has one fact, which I cited.

But ignoring that fact, you want to cite, contrary to that fact, the fearmongering embedded in the conditional and subjunctive mode claims. Shame, shame.

Do I understand the gist of your arguments? "We've never tried blanket tariffs by country, so we know that can't work"? And (against Einstein's insight), targeted tariffs don't work so let just keep trying them hoping for different outcome"? Or "Let's just keep on kicking the can down the road until ..."?

The article has more than one single fact. And shame on your own self.

The article has no facts related to the thread's topic. A poster steered this budget plan into the discussion. Let's stay on topic. Got anything else (facts) to add?

The article confirms that school lunches are a part of the social safety net.

Yes, yes ,,, we get it, you don't like Trump. Got any facts?
I didn't say anything about not liking him. I correctly identified him as painfully ignorant and misguided on international economics. (I gave you several facts in that post.) Someone who knows nothing about international trade would know more than Trump.

Uhh? ... and how does that relate to "Free Traders Case For Tariffs"?

All I saw in your post was, once again, your negative opinions but no facts in support. Opinions are not facts.

Hmm. Perhaps don't post an article to the thread just to bitterly complain when the other posters discuss it?

That Trump and Navarro are far far outside the modern understanding of international economics and trade is true. (It is also true that Navarro invented quotes from an invented "expert" for his book. )

Be specific (with facts), what "modern understanding" is Trump far outside of?

"Bitter" is a feeling and not my area of expertise. Thinking is my area. No complaints or arguments about your feelings. On that you are always correct. But as to facts from you ... <crickets>.

You don't know your own feelings? Sorry to hear that.

Sure.

As I did post a fact from the article you posted to this thread indicates that your area of expertise might just be a bit...sad.

We can start with the modern understanding of international trade as net good, a win-win, versus Trump's obvious and well stated beliefs that in every deal someone gets the short end of the stick - for someone to get a good deal someone must get shafted. (Even in real estate development that is a poor understanding of transactions.)

President Trump's tariffs against China is working to bring about the desired outcome of fair trade with China. We are winning.

Where is the agreement with China that codifies the detail of this new "openness"? It will number in the dozens or even hundreds of pages if it ever exists.

Obviously, the details of this agreement shall be worked out and released. You would know that if you had read all of that article.
