[ExI] The Hunger Games Begin, 40 million Americans are about to lose food stamps

[John Clark]

*Nobel prize winning economist Paul Krugman has some interesting things to
say about the current government shut down. The poor losing their
healthcare is not the only thing that He Who Must Not Be Named has
instigated: *

"*The pain from lost food aid will, if anything, hurt Republican voters
worse than Democrats. F**or example, Owsley County in Kentucky. The county
is 96 percent white
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Owsley_County,_Kentucky>, and last year it
cast 88 percent of its votes for Trump. Also, 37 percent of residents
<https://kypolicy.org/tracking-snap-in-kentucky/> are on SNAP, the
Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program, formerly known as food
stamps."*
