You do realize they are closing a loophole that people like Robert Undersander (a Minnesota retiree) with assets more than $1 mil applied for a received food stamps. Currently it only tests for income and not overall assets, so those 500k kids will likely be right back on it and just have to re-apply. Shame on those Republicans taking from the Rich to keep it with the really needy.

Minnesota is among 34 states that, along with Washington, D.C., use the “broad-based categorical eligibility” loophole to avert the need to check assets, according to the Foundation for Government Accountability, a Naples, Florida-based fiscal watchdog group.
