Obviously, even they can see the Republicans do not have compassion but only want to give money to big Republican corporations at the expense of low-income women and children.

Once again, doing a little homework beyond the snippet in the Sun that was extracted from a 3-day-old longer, syndicated article, leads one to a lot more information than what one poster here provides.
A former employee and client of WIC has good information at the links below, on how Food Stamps have been expanded greatly, and how once this family got onto Food Stamps (aka SNAP), "As soon as we qualified for Food Stamps, we were given more benefits than we could use in a month, so there was no reason to stay on WIC......."
Part of what has expanded Food Stamp eligibility is removing the cap on assets. (This would be why the $2 million dollar lottery winner in MI is still collecting food stamps 11 months after winning.
