## 2                                                      The National School Lunch Program provides food assistance to children in schools for only $416 per child per year.

## 4           Trump wants to cut the U.S. Interagency Council on Homelessness which combats homelessness, particularly for veterans, and only costs $4 million a year to run.
## 5                                       The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) helps millions of families put food on the table and only costs $1.39 a meal.

## 8 President Trump donated his first quarter's salary to the National Park Service, which is a drop in the bucket compared to the taxpayer money spent on Mar-a-Lago trips.
