This budget hollows out our economy and endangers working families in the Virgin Islands and across this nation. The $2.5 trillion in cuts to entitlement programs, which include $192 billion to The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) and $800 billion to Medicaid, will devastate localities like the U.S. Virgin Islands where one-in-five children are covered under Medicaid and where one-fifth of our population receive SNAP benefits." f t # e | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
