@npr: tarting today, states will be footing a larger share of the bill to run the food assistance program known as SNAP, as federal funding to pay for things like state SNAP workers shrinks by half. Last year’s massive Republican tax and spending law known as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act included major changes to how SNAP is funded. As a result, states may need to spend two to three times more in the future in order to keep the food assistance program running. The key question now is how states will afford these new costs to SNAP. Policy experts say states may need to raise taxes, cut funding for other programs or reduce access to food benefits.

States need to reduce funding to many people make government assistance into a life the career. States need to put limits on how long people can be on assistance.

Okay, but then our taxes should go to our states and not the federal government. Why should they get the taxes anymore?
