42 million Americans will be starving starting November.

[TemplarKormac]

Should be about 42 million looking for jobs

Nah. My father fought for his country, he earned his food stamps. Would earn SNAP too if he got it.

 

[Superbadbrutha]

If there are lootings and the country continues to allow this thuggery mentality, whites may as well hand the country over to blacks and let them run the country into the ground. Haiti will see real competition aside the competition from just Chicago.

It's amazing how racist like you love to try and put a black face on crime, when whites commit more crime in this country than anyone.

 

[Superbadbrutha]

This country needs a hard reset. The direction it's going will lead to Civil War II or perhaps war is necessary to set the record straight.

That is what is in effect, you want this country to go back to the days of Jim Crow when discrimination and racism were legal.

 

[hadit]

Why are they refusing to vote for it?

I don't claim to read minds. Who knows why they won't do the right thing for the country?

Trump admin warns 42 million Americans could lose food stamps as shutdown drags on. ​

USDA is warning that SNAP funds will run dry starting November 1st. The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) said it does not have the ability to independently reshuffle funds into the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), commonly known as food stamps, according to a recent memo obtained by Fox News Digital.

The Government shut down is causing a lack of funds. Trump is not going to do anything about it. He is using this as a tool to get the Democrats to give in on the Government shutdown position.

I do know that the Trump supporters will be saying that this is Chuck Schumers fault as he is the one that advocated for the Democrats not to give in. Nonetheless, the man in CHARGE is Trump and the responsibility falls on his shoulders as he is in a position to fix this, either by giving in to the demands of the Democrats not to cut Medicaid and Medicare, or by finding the funds to give to the SNAP program so that these Americans do not starve!

This will show if Trump truly cares about Americans or if it is all about power and control.

According to one account, Trump's refusal to fund November SNAP benefits also violates another law:

Trump Is Illegally Withholding Food From Needy Families

"The Food and Nutrition Act of 2008, which reauthorized the food stamp program and changed its name to SNAP, states clearly that benefits 'shall be furnished to all eligible households who make application for such participation.'

"And the contingency fund would allow those benefits to be delivered as required.

"Instead, the administration is rejecting its authority, holding hungry families hostage to an ongoing political fight over government spending.

"As David A. Super, professor of law and economics at Georgetown University, put it, 'There are no ifs, ands, or ors there.' Anyone who is eligible and applies must be paid benefits. 'I don’t know how Congress could have written it more clearly,' Super said."

Has congress appropriated money for SNAP after the end of September?

They arent Americans....
Illegal aliens mostly.

I'm ok with that too. They can go back to Afghanistan, Somalia and etc and starve at home instead of here on our dime.

So how did you criticize, if don't know?

 

[hadit]

So how did you criticize, if don't know?

We can criticize an action without claiming to know the rationale behind it. We do that all the time.

I don't care why you stepped on my foot, I just want you to stop doing it.

 

[Papageorgio]

If being a lib means condemning incompetence, then I am a lib

So you condemn yourself? Okay!

 

[Superbadbrutha]

Ok, so you just think it's the Dems fault, you don't know why it's just their fault.

 

[hadit]

Ok, so you just think it's the Dems fault, you don't know why it's just their fault.

In this case, democrats started the filibuster and caused the government to shut down. That's not even controversial.
Also in this case, democrats can stop the filibuster at any time, but choose not to. That's not even controversial.
Also in this case, democrats who want something changed can negotiate to get at least some of what they want in order to get the government back to work. That's not even controversial.
Also in this case, democrats are not proposing any kind of negotiation beyond having all of their demands met before opening the government back up. That's not even controversial.

Given all of those, of course it's the democrats' fault and I explained why I know that. I do not, however, claim to read minds, only going by their actions.

Tell me, why do you insist I don't know why something is someone's fault if I don't read minds?

Trump isn’t refusing to fund it, there’s no money. The govt is shut down, there is no money

Geez man

 

[flack]

A bit long.
Fun facts….

Heres a little Accounting for you to think about….

"You have two families: "Joe Legal" and "Jose Illegal". Both families have two parents, two children, and live in California ..
Joe Legal works in construction, has a Social Security Number and makes $25.00 per hour with taxes deducted.
Jose Illegal also works in construction, has NO Social Security Number, and gets paid $15.00 cash "under the table".

Ready? Now pay attention....
Joe Legal: $25.00 per hour x 40 hours = $1000.00 per week, or $52,000.00 per year. Now take 30% away for state and federal tax; Joe Legal now has $31,231.00.
Jose Illegal: $15.00 per hour x 40 hours = $600.00 per week, or $31,200.0 0 per year. Jose Illegal pays no taxes. Jose Illegal now has $31,200.00.

Joe Legal pays medical and dental insurance with limited coverage for his family at $600.00 per month, or $7,200.00 per year. Joe Legal now has $24,031.00.
Jose Illegal has full medical and dental coverage through the state and local clinics and emergency hospitals at a cost of $0.00 per year. Jose Illegal still has $31,200.00.

Joe Legal makes too much money and is not eligible for food stamps or welfare. Joe Legal pays $500.00 per month for food, or $6,000.00 per year. Joe Legal now has $18,031.00.
Jose Illegal has no documented income and is eligible for food stamps, WIC and welfare. Jose Illegal still has $31,200.00.

Joe Legal pays rent of $1,200.00 per month, or $14,400.00 per year. Joe Legal now has 9,631 ..00.
Jose Illegal receives a $500.00 per month Federal Rent Subsidy. Jose Illegal pays out that $500.00 per month, or $6,000.00 per year. Jose Illegal still has $ 31,200.00.

Joe Legal pays $200.00 per month, or $2,400.00 for car insurance. Some of that is uninsured motorist insurance. Joe Legal now has $7,231.00.
Jose Illegal says, "We don't need no stinkin' insurance!" and still has $31,200.00.

Joe Legal has to make his $7,231.00 stretch to pay utilities, gasoline, etc..
Jose Illegal has to make his $31,200.00 stretch to pay utilities, gasoline, and what he sends out of the country every month..

Joe Legal now works overtime on Saturdays or gets a part time job after work.
Jose Illegal has nights and weekends off to enjoy with his family.

Joe Legal's and Jose Illegal's children both attend the same elementary school.

Joe Legal pays for his children's lunches, while

Jose Illegal's children get a government sponsored lunch.

Jose Illegal's children have an after school ESL program.

Joe Legal's children go home.

Now, when they reach college age

Joe Legal's kids may not get into a State School and may not qualify for scholarships, grants or other tuition help, even though Joe has been paying for State Schools through his taxes, while

Jose Illegal's kids "go to the head of the class" because they are a minority.

Joe Legal and Jose Illegal both enjoy the same police and fire services, but Joe paid for them and Jose did not pay.

Do you get it, now? If you vote for or support any politician that supports illegal aliens... You are part of the problem!

We need to keep this going--we need to make changes ASAP! It's way PAST time to take a stand for America and Americans!

Do some research from unbiased sources before you make statements that make you look like a misinformed idiot!

I did.....
59% of current recipients of SNAP benefits are not US Citizens.

It used to be different.....like 6 years ago the demographics of who got snap benefits was mostly US citizens. But its amazing how the Biden Admin changed things and especially in light of snap benefit payouts almost doubled during Bidens admin.....not hard to understand how things changed.

Link please!

I have done my research. and your number is totally wrong:

From the department of Agriculture, which is the one that does the SNAP benefits:

• The agency also reported that 89.4% of SNAP recipients were U.S born citizens, meaning less than 11% of SNAP participants were foreign-born.

Where did you get that info from?

 

[Frankenstein]

Ok, so you just think it's the Dems fault, you don't know why it's just their fault.

I do, it's because the democrats set up the subsidies for covid, biten extended them, and the dems voted to sunset them. It's now time to sunset the subsidies, they know how badly the ACA premiums are going to go up, so they are trying to use emotions to play games with people, and blame Republicans, any other questions I can answer for you.
