I have a modest proposal for Amendment 28.

To be on the ballot for the presidency of the United States, a candidate need not disclose his or her general medical examination or his or her tax returns, but the candidate must provide a verification from ten doctors licensed by the American Psychiatric Association that he or she does not suffer from Narcissistic Personality Disorder.

“… This year, the federal government has canceled food deliveries and cut hundreds of millions of dollars in annual aid to food banks. For Aragón, the head of programming for Roadrunner Food Bank, New Mexico’s largest charitable food operation, that has meant losing more than seven million pounds of food she had been counting on.

President Trump’s megabill, passed earlier this month, includes cuts to food stamps, now known as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP.

Food banks across the country were already straining under rising demand. Now, they worry many more Americans will go hungry.

… Food banks have seen requests for assistance from households—including those with children—jump sharply over the past few years, driven by the end of pandemic aid programs and the impact of inflation on grocery prices.

According to a recent survey from Feeding America, a national network of food banks, over half of 162 food banks reported demand rising this past April compared with April 2024. …”

“… Earlier this year, the Agriculture Department canceled millions of pounds of shipments to food banks that were part of its emergency food-assistance program for low-income people.

… A separate pandemic-era program, slated to disburse roughly $500 million this year to food banks to buy produce, dairy items and meats from local farmers, was also cut by the Agriculture Department. The department said it had released hundreds of millions of dollars to food banks that had been previously promised as part of the program.

… Pachter and other food bank leaders say the SNAP reductions included in the new budget bill will strain resources by pushing more people whose benefits have either been cut or reduced toward pantries to get food.

… A congressional analysis of an earlier House version of the bill found that roughly 3.2 million people would lose SNAP benefits in an average month over the next decade.

… “When we have to tell people that we have no more left, the look on their faces when they walk away is like ‘What am I going to do now?’” she said.

“I don’t have an answer.” “
