    SNAP, formerly known as the Food Stamp Program, is the nation’s most important anti-hunger program. In a typical month in 2018, SNAP helped 40 million low-income Americans afford a nutritionally adequate diet.

    A diferent term to 'on the verge of poverty'. People on a 'low income' is a much larger group, but here it contains 3 million fewer people than the number you claim are on the verge of poverty.

    Thanks for proving my point.

    In any case, that's an absurd source to put forward to support your claim.

    You simply cannot read, comprehend or communicate adequately in this language.

    Back to the topic:
    Lies have been always very powerful tool of the rulers and/or politicians.

    And as thousands years ago, almost all wars are based on a lie - or on many lies.

    E.g. the Spanish - USA war when the explosion of the boiler on US ship Maine was declared as a bomb. Who cares when later it's proven it's a lie? The events and the resulting deaths cannot be reversed.

    And so similar lies can be found at beginning of many later wars, I do not dare to name few...

    In our time we see daily many lies, they are very powerful. It's like a pandemic, all MSM repeat and trumpet the same lie, sometimes with the same wording. But when later proven otherwise, there is silence, no retraction of their previous lies.
    One example: Russian bounty in Afghanistan. Try to ask WH speaker...

    And Russian and China are masters at it - and if their people don't believe their lies they disappear
