The families that I spoke with, both of whom were led by mothers who would stay up late,
trying to figure out which bills they could afford to forego for a little while, which government aid programs they could apply for to get them enough assistance to last them through the month, and how they could really afford to get enough food to feed their kids.
And these were working families, women, in the case of this story, who had seen their earnings go up,
seen themselves get promotions, yet were dealing with harder economic circumstances than they had ever encountered.
In general, it means there is a chance families who were getting food stamps or receiving Medicaid might not get as much anymore or might lose some of the coverage they were receiving.
At the very least, it adds an additional level of economic uncertainty to situations that are very precarious and already are leaving families teetering on the edge of economic freefall.
Among the demographics of Americans, the sharpest increase in terms of poverty are children, according to the Census Bureau's Supplemental Poverty Measure.
That is something to be mindful of when we are looking at the potential impacts of further social safety cuts, whether that's to food benefits or Medicaid.
And it's a particularly vulnerable population right now, children and families with children.
