Senator Goes on Food Stamps

and what about to take pictures of the body it is time for social media on our program with dr did report with the doctor alan rosenblatt out walking to the program extended to be here again well let's start with senator well mounds stamp challenge they put out that he did mention it on twitter tell us a little bit about that and and what he was after and and why it was significant in the world social media dismissed well over the mechanically would work and it was talking about with regard to it making kellyanne abrupt were brought portman in the idea that when you have firsthand knowledge of something it's a lot harder to be biased against etalaat harder to be it would be proud of you with deal with the situation and that's about what they're going on this past week with chris murphy uh... that sent a payment congress in general is uh... set to consider a vote which would drastically cut uh... funding uh... these back program which is uh... the food stamp program and um... rather than try to go into it uh... abstractly senator senator murphy is the new junior senator from connecticut but that occur uh... spent one week taking the food stamp challenge which essentially is he lived on equivalent amount of money for food stamps would provide uh... for uh... uh... beneficiaries for one week now uh... before you go thinking you know both food stamps are accused of lots of money to uh... poor people who haven't heard it and and they're living high on the government cause the trip to the matter is that that equivalents that comes out to four dollars and eighteen sent that day uh... there was one and what other and what working people keep during the week he told me that he liked twenty predicting like he didn't eat much today so we can afford to have mac and cheese for dinner uh... and forty going to be treated that he had lost powers already on the four dollar and eighty percent nowadays uh... a diet that he would only for four days into a seven-day uh... week that in another thought that's really interesting i've felt even more interesting is that the day after he finished his um... his uh... week-long uh... stuff could step challenge i heed and hosted any traditional political a cake breakfast so they went from seven days of malnutrition spending although the money that the government would allow arthur due to a vote stopper with deputy p m to having unlimited pancakes on saturday morning and uh... and i think what it does it shows very clearly that uh... the world of a bit of a member of congress and the world of the forty million americans who aren't with step have nothing to do with each other are completely alien with each other an edit strike *** and i commend senator uh... of thirty-four having lived through a week like this so that you would understand what it was that he was legislating but we cannot win the vote comes up on our on the snap archives and i think that it's really really important and i really think it is important thing for people to understand that uh... government you know i mean we have a with a world where people don't trust government and we put out a professor leah talking about how uh... if he'd just basically you don't didn't trust government because uh... is ready to go to harm insurrection i mean this is crazy stuff and i think one of the best place for government regain the trust of the people if to be more transparent get more connected with the people things like senator murphy going through exactly what it needs to live on food stamps so that he can connect more with doctor that people can vote for him but the fourteen million people suffering on other suffering from a were indeed over the food assistance across the country i think that that will go a long way toward restoring trust either government
