Many of the 2,000 Alabama households impacted had already seen the funds credited to their accounts and will have to pay the money back on their next bill.
He’s taking back $100 each from 2000 households. That’s $2 million dollars. They are supposedly trying to cut $2 trillion dollars in government spending. That’s 0.0001% of their goal. If you were trying to cut $1000 from your yearly budget, this would be 1/1000th of a cent or roughly the value of pocket lint.
Clearly, the cruelty is the point because there is no other tangible result from this.
P.S. I’m still working on my first cup of coffee so don’t be too hard on me if my math is wrong. I still stand by my assessment that the cruelty is the point.
The point you make is important and valid, but I would like to correct the specific numbers for the audience watching from home. 100*2000 is 200 thousand, not two million, which comes to 1/10 millionth of the goal, or 0.00001%. Using the $1000 budget metaphor, that would make 1/10000 of a dollar or 1/100 of a cent.
Don’t feel bad about missing a zero here or there, especially early in the day <3

Every cent not spent on helping poors goes into billionaires’ pockets. No amount is too small for their unrelenting greed.

Yeah, $2 million is nothing to the federal government. This is 100% about cruelty.
