Let's Not Cut Snap

Floor Speech

Date: Jan. 15, 2014
Location: Washington, DC
Issues: Unemployed and Low-Income Entitlements and the Safety Net

Mr. DANNY K. DAVIS of Illinois. Mr. Speaker, you know, the Good Book says that man does not live by bread alone, but I can tell you, if you don't have any, and if you don't have any milk, and you don't have any baby food, and you don't have all of those essentials that provide good nutrition, then you don't live healthy.

I urge my colleagues, let's not cut SNAP. Let's not take food out of the mouths of those who are hungry. Let's make sure that they can not only have bread, but milk and cheese and everything else that goes with it.
