The average SNAP benefit is $187 per month. That's $6.17 per person per day.
I did the math a few days ago. SNAP pays out $9B/month. Take that away from the Proles, and distribute that money among the 1000 richest, and it's a few million for each of them. That may only be "walking around" money, by itself, but add in the money taken away from people on ACA policies, and money taken away from defunding education, and some other things he has targeted, it starts to add up.
from the net sifter:
The phrase, "A billion here, a billion there, and pretty soon you're talking real money," is widely attributed to U.S. Senator Everett Dirksen, though there is no official record of him saying it. The quote is a colorful quip about the scale of federal spending and the idea that small additions of money, when accumulated, become a significant amount
Steve...so old he remembers when that phrase was new
