42 million Americans will be starving starting November.

[Lockback]

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.

Nice try.

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.

The groups were labeled by nationality such as "Afghan," "Somali," "Iraqi," along with the racial groups "white," "Black" and "native." The chart appeared to show that Afghan people were the largest group receiving SNAP benefits, at 45.6%, followed by Somali (42.4%) and Iraqi (34.8%). White people, represented on the chart with the American flag, were third to last at 8.6%.

Check this data and see exactly who is getting SNAP benefits. This data is state by state and it shows that anywhere from 10-15% of American citizens are getting food stamps and more than 30% are old and disabled!

In raw numbers immigrants are a smaller group than native Americans but receive up to 45% of their numbers in benefits

And I wonder how much of that is fraud?

I want to cut off all public assistance to non citizens

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

Geez man

Exactly!

It would violate the anti deficiency act to spend money that congress has specifically NOT appropriated.

The democrats want to shut down government because that is their leverage and then they want to blame Trump for the government being shut down.

There is no vetting if someone claims to be an American citizen.

How angry are you at Dems for shutting down SNAP?

The Democrats are not shutting down SNAP. Trump is the one shutting Medicaid, Medicare, SNAP and all the programs that are benefitting the poor, old, and disabled.

He is giving that money to his rich friends and that makes me angry as he is a totally immoral, unethical, unprincipled and inhumane person.

Did you know that Trump is using contingency funds to pay the troops but is refusing to use the same contingency funding to pay the people that are getting SNAP benefits?

How is that caring for Americans?

What a complete post of BS

Democrats call it leverage.

They've been trained by Dimocrats.

First you resist it, then you reluctantly accept it, then you demand it.

Is Trump allowed to spend money that congress did not appropriate?

I think you mean letting people who earn money, keep more of it?

Did you know that Trump is using contingency funds to pay the troops but is refusing to use the same contingency funding to pay the people that are getting SNAP benefits?

He has to make a lot of tough decisions. he was the one we elected to make those decisions.

How is that caring for Americans?

By maintaining the effectiveness of the armed forces that protect Americans.

Are these are your real points, or are they just some easy ones to knock down leading up to a real point you are about to make?

When you go grocery shopping just note that 1 in 8 of shoppers in the store are on SNAP.

I love how Rush Limbaugh used to put it:

Dimocrats have turned the 'safety nets' into 'hammocks'.

And here I am paying for my family and the leeches too

The OP's thread title is a glimpse into the minds of the left and how they view ordinary Americans.

"42 million Americans will be starving"

He automatically assumes these people are incapable of solving their family's own particular situation. All that matters is the government won't be sending out their handouts, so 42 million will starve.

At least I have the comfort of knowing that my tripled donation to the food bank for November is going to help only American citizens.

I live in a very small town and am acquainted with most of them -- most are white and only a few are obese from eating junk food.

With 40 million people on SNAP, in some parts of the city it can be much higher

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

Why should he, you spread more misinformation than anyone on this board. Remember you telling us Harris was going to win big?

How many times in the last year you told us the stock market would tank?

Remember the stock you told everyone to buy at $34? It sits at $25 something a share today.

Remember the judges house that you claimed exploded and you tried to attribute it to right wing violence. Then when it wasn’t you said it’s because right wing violence is so pervasive that is what led you to believe that’s what happened?

You are a partisan dumbass that you constantly spread misinformation then deny it. lol!
