The Trump administration wants to tighten the rules governing who qualifies for food stamps, which could end up stripping more than 3 million people of their benefits.The Agriculture Department issued a proposed rule Tuesday that curtails so-called broad-based categorical eligibility, which makes it easier for Americans with somewhat higher incomes and more savings to participate in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP, the formal name for food stamps.It is the administration's latest step to clamp down on the food stamps program, which covers 38 million Americans, and other public assistance services. It wants to require more poor people to work for SNAP benefits, and it is looking to change the way the poverty threshold is calculated, a move that could strip many low-income residents of their federal benefits over time.Broad-based categorical eligibility allows states to streamline the food stamps application process for folks who qualify for certain benefits under the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families program. Some 40 states, plus the District of Columbia, use this option, which lets them eliminate the asset test and raise one of the income thresholds.Republicans have long argued that this expanded eligibility option is a "loophole" that permits those with higher incomes and assets to get public assistance. GOP lawmakers have tried to limit it several times -- including in last year's farm bill, though it didn't make it into the final version. The proposed USDA rule is expected to save .5 billion a year."For too long, this loophole has been used to effectively bypass important eligibility guidelines," said Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue, who pointed out on a call with reporters that a millionaire in Minnesota recently enrolled through the option to highlight the problems with it. "That is why we are changing the rules, preventing abuse of a critical safety net system, so those who need food assistance the most are the only ones who receive it."Consumer advocates, however, say that the option helps low-income working Americans get the help they need. They still must meet the disposable income threshold for the food stamp program, though they can have a higher gross income (before deductions such as child care costs are taken into account).The option is "an opportunity-oriented policy to promote work and promote savings," said Stacy Dean, vice president for food assistance at the left-leaning Center on Budget and Policy Priorities. 2518

'Tis the season to shop till you drop, but before you pull out your wallet, check out these tips on saving some cash.No, it’s not through couponing or searching for deals online. It starts with what you do when you walk through the doors of a store. Whether you're aware of it or not, a store is laid out in a very specific way to get you to spend more.Those huge shopping carts are always conveniently placed right as you walk in, but the small baskets seem harder to find. The store's hope is that you'll fill up that shopping cart with more items than if you had a small basket. Gone are the days of stores playing elevator music to create a sense of calmness. Now, it’s all about upbeat music to create a happy atmosphere, hoping you want to stay and shop longer. Just like speed bumps on a road, stores place tables, clothing racks and other obstacles around businesses to get customers to slow down and look at more items. How about those big signs that say, “buy one, get the next one half off?” Seems like a great deal, that is if you’re planning on buying two. If you only need one, buying another half off is still getting you to spend more than you were planning.And when you're ready to try on clothes, don't be tricked by the sale rack that’s usually placed right by the dressing rooms. It's one last chance for stores to get you to pick up more items. Oh and here's one last tip: you're going to see a lot of discount signs with 10, 20 maybe even 50% off an item, but consumer experts say nothing is a deal unless it's 30% off or more. 1561

Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin on Thursday encountered a blitz of questions from House Democrats seeking to establish a legal basis for requesting President Donald Trump's tax returns.It was the first time Trump's top finance chief, a close ally of the President, was forced to publicly address the unprecedented issue of whether he would comply with an obscure law that may require him to turn over his boss' tax returns, if a formal request is made by Massachusetts Rep. Richard Neal, the Democratic chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee.Throughout a more than two-hour hearing on Capitol Hill, Democrats asked Mnuchin to state exactly how he would handle such a request, which the secretary carefully tried to side-step, at one point, even jokingly noting, "There's a lot of interest in 6103 today" -- a reference to the tax law.Mnuchin told lawmakers he would obey the law if he receives a written request from Congress to turn over Trump's tax returns -- but also suggested that the decision to release the returns would fall to the commissioner of the Internal Revenue Service, the country's federal tax collector.Trump has refused to release his tax returns, 1190

The US military has flown an increased number of reconnaissance flights in international airspace off the coast of Venezuela during the last several days to gather classified intelligence about the embattled government of President Nicholas Maduro, according to two US defense officials.The officials would not detail which US military aircraft are being used, but the Navy and Air Force maintain several large fixed-wing aircraft capable of intercepting communications and monitoring the status of weaponry.The officials noted that the effort is limited to whatever the aircraft can gather by staying in international airspace.Several US military officials continue to emphasize there are no military options actively being considered for the Venezuela crisis. For now, the US military would only contemplate a response if US assets, personnel or the embassy were attacked.Venezuela is in crisis as self-proclaimed interim president Juan Guaido battles Maduro for control.Guaido has called for other nations to send aid to the country in response to worsening food and medicine shortages.

CNN has not independently verified the numbers of the injured in these clashes.The opposition group said five people were killed. CNN has not verified those numbers.In other developments:?
