People go hungry, jobs disappear, prices rise. How is any of this good? How does it justify any budget savings?

Odd man (/pariah) out. Can't normalize this shit.
Not ONLY are people losing food benefits (which is the worst part of this), but food retailers, wholesalers, packers, manufacturers, shippers, and farmers are losing sales. When Ag programs like SNAP and WIC get cut, NOTHING replaces those sales.
