Summary

The article examines how President Trump's One Big Beautiful Bill Act will shift billions in SNAP (food stamp) and Medicaid costs from the federal government to state governments. It highlights that 26 states have cut or eliminated state income taxes since 2021, leaving them financially vulnerable and potentially unable to fund these essential safety net programs. The piece references the recent government shutdown as a preview of the crisis, during which families skipped meals, food banks ran out of supplies, and some people resorted to dumpster diving.
