Iowa has a budget surplus of $1.91B. This doesn't stop ghouls like Iowa House speaker #PatGrassley (a born-rich #nepobaby whose grandpa is Senator #ChuckGrassley) from claiming that the cuts were a necessity: "[SNAP is] growing within the budget, and are putting pressure on us being able to fund other priorities."

Grassley's caucus passed legislation on Jan 30 to kick people off of SNAP if their combined assets, including their work vehicle, total to more than $15,000.
