COMMITTEE INVESTIGATE
CONGRESSWOMAN ILHAN OMAR FOR
FRAUD AND FORGERY.
SHE CALLS IT DISGUSTING LIES.
THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION
PROPOSING NEW RULES THAT COULD
KICK THOUSANDS OFF OF FOOD
STAMPS. A
MINNESOTA MILLIONAIRE WAS
ALLOWED TO RECEIVE AND IF IT'S.
WHAT'S GOING ON WITH THIS?
IT STARTLED A LOT OF PEOPLE
IN THE SYSTEM.
THE SUPPLEMENTAL NUTRITIONAL
CYST AND WHICH WE KNOW AS FOOD
STAMPS IS FOR FAMILIES ON HARD
TIMES. MINNESOTA'S 134 STATES
THAT DOES NOT REQUIRE ACID --
ASSET TESTING TO GET FOOD STAMPS
. LAWMAKERS WERE SHOCKED WHEN A
SELF-DESCRIBED MILLIONAIRE
TESTIFIED AT THE STATE CAPITAL
LAST YEAR EXACTLY WHAT THE
TRUMP ADMINISTRATION IS TALKING
ABOUT. HE SAID HE APPLIED FOR
AND GOT FOOD ASSISTANCE EVEN
THOUGH HE HAD A BEAUTIFUL HOUSE
AND A BIG 401(K).
I AM HERE THAT I THINK --
BECAUSE I THINK THE STATE OF
MINNESOTA SHOULD NOT GIVE FOOD
STAMPS TO MILLIONAIRES AND HIGH
NET WORTH INDIVIDUALS.
HE SAID HE GAVE THE MONEY TO
CHARITY, BUT WE NEED TO TELL
YOU THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE
RECEIVING FOOD STAMP AND IF IT'S
GOES UP DURING RECESSIONS AND
IT GOES DOWN WHEN THE ECONOMY
IS GOOD. JUST THIS LAST MAY,
68,000 MINNESOTANS DID GET
ASSISTANCE. THE AVERAGE MONTHLY
BENEFIT IS ABOUT $138 PER MONTH
. THAT IS $1.53 PER MEAL. ONE
OTHER THING IS THAT HUNDREDS OF
FARM FAMILIES AND 75 COUNTIES
RECEIVE FOOD BENEFITS AND COULD
BE IMPACTED BY THIS.
THEY HAVE A LOT OF PROPERTY BUT
LITTLE INCOME. THE DEPARTMENT
OF HUMAN SERVICES SAYS IT HAS
NOT YET CALCULATED HOW THE NEW
RULES COULD IMPACT MINNESOTA.
THERE IS A WAYS TO GO AND IT
WAS JUST ANNOUNCED.
I THINK PEOPLE ARE UNCERTAIN
