Another great fuck you to the less financially able citizens of this country by the GOP. When the hell will we learn?

When Fox News stops doing things like telling those citizens that shutting down this program is Biden's fault.

Impoverished people are easier to lead and the GOP can't lead themselves out of a brown paper bag, so...poverty it is.
