5. If we win both Houses, we should use reconciliation to pass a repeal of the Big Bullshit Bill---

not that Trump wouldn't veto said repeal effort, but polls show that the majority of the people hate it,
and we can use it as a big issue going into the 2028 Presidential campaign---
and by moving a repeal to Trump's desk, we will show that Democrats are willing
and able to get rid of it, with a Democratic Congress and President!

The damage which will be done by that bill has only just begun to take effect---
and frankly all the extra costs being passed to the states for the SNAP program
are just a STEALTH effort to destroy that program--- since many states
will not be able to bear the extra costs and thus may drop the program altogether!

(And the 'work requirements' just pile more administrative costs onto the states---
two states have tried that already, but it cost them more to administer
than was saved, and it didn't result in more people getting jobs!)
