The Very Real Ways Trump's 'Big Beautiful Bill' Food Program Cuts Will Harm Families And Kids

With proposed cuts to SNAP and other programs, families will struggle even harder to afford groceries, millions of kids may lose free school meals ... and it gets worse.

Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” a reconciliation bill that passed the House and will see the Senate voting on it soon, contains more than $300 billion in cuts between now and 2034 to social safety nets like SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program). In addition, WIC (Women, Infants and Children) would see $100 million in cuts, and the bill would eliminate $700 billion from Medicaid, affecting 10 million people. If the SNAP cuts go through, it would affect 40 million Americans, including more than 2 million children.

“The basis of this bill is they’ve cut down $1.75 trillion, but instead increased the expenses to $4 trillion,” said B. Wong, a community strategist who chose to be anonymous to protect their identity. “It would seem that this saving of $1.75 trillion is used as an excuse to borrow more from the Federal Reserve, which borrows from the world. So this saving is only performative. Like, look guys, we can cut down our expenses so you can loan us more money.”

In turn, $168 billion would go to funding immigration and border law enforcement.

“The situation is that every single one of political factions, they are not looking out for the interest of people,” Wong said. “They don’t care about giving people a fulfilling life that allows them to live out their potential.”
