This has to be one of the craziest ideas I have ever heard of.

President  Trump's budget proposal,  calls for replacing half of the monthly cash benefit for most recipients with a Department of Agriculture food box containing "shelf-stable milk, ready-to-eat cereals, pasta, peanut butter, beans and canned fruit, vegetables, and meat, poultry or fish."

So people would not receive food stamps anymore. This is going to hurt the hood like no other. How much does it cost to deliver this food?  Who's going to assemble the boxes, , Who's going to deliver it? Stores are going to lose out on money?

There are just a lot of questions regarding this proposal and more importantly, who will I  be able to purchase food stamps from?

Keep you updated with more details.
