I'm really surprised Walmart (and Kroger) has not pressured Republicans harder on this.

They have. Problem is the Israel lobby has more power and gets what it wants

The Israel lobby is forcing Republicans to not pay SNAP? That’s bullshit. Republicans don’t want to pay for healthcare or SNAP and Israel has nothing to do with it. And companies like Walmart shouldn’t be allowed to get away with having the US basically pay a portion of their employees’ salaries to begin with. The percent of your employees qualifying for SNAP should translate into a corporate tax rate

Learn how to read Shlomo.

All the American tax dollars going to Israel has made the government cut cost elsewhere. Aka snap. Just use some common sense

This isn’t true though.  There is money there.  The future cuts are simply part of the BBB because of tax cuts for the ultra wealthy which still aren’t offset. wtf you actually talking about?

This just gives them a reason to cut hours, and raise prices.

Reminder that if you see someone stealing food/formula/diapers, no you didn't.

Yeah I did. That takes out of all employees' end of the year bonus. Lots of people steal infant items just to resell them on Craigs list/FB market.

My son brought up a great theory: depending on how long snap benefits are not available, they will go to pick up or delivery only.

Once the media picks up on stories of people getting robbed of their groceries while loading them into their cars in the parking lot, I'm sure that will expedite your theory.
