I hope they buy beans and rice, not Snapple and Ho-Ho's.

As if lol

Fox is a stupid site and broadcast company and being stupid they appeal to the stupid. Occasionally I watch the 'five' or whatever it is called and my mind can only take so much ignorance and bias. Foreign owned they laugh at America. If you care about America contact the ad companies that support this anti-democracy company. .

Because not enough Democrats support it.

Not to mention, Democrats have torpedoed at least 13 clean CR attempts that would have funded SNAP immediately and fully.

Which of those allegedly '...at least 13 clean CR attempts that would have funded SNAP fully and immediately..." can you prove actually happened?

ChatGPT:

"Where the claim is not clearly supported​

• "The claim states 'at least 13 clean CR attempts that would have funded SNAP fully and immediately' — I found no reliable source showing that each of those clean CRs explicitly included 'fully and immediately funding SNAP' as a specific provision.
• 
  
• "The sources talk about 'clean continuing resolutions to keep the government open' generally, not 'CRs that guarantee full, immediate SNAP funding.'"

Texas restaurants step up to help!

North Texas restaurants offer free meals for kids as families prepare to lose SNAP benefits

As millions of Texans face food insecurity due to a SNAP benefit pause, small businesses in North Texas are stepping up to feed children in need.

Democrats will lose a little leverage, but children won't starve in my state.

 

[Superbadbrutha]

Dense much? The Democrats will never let anything pass that isn't single payer, they will never harm the fake legacy that is the ACA

Tell us what the Trump Healhcare policy was, give us the details of the plan.

The hilarity of the liberal hivemind is in full display with you.
When Democrats refuse to compromise - it is perfectly okay, they are "fighting against Trump".
When Republicans do it - EVIL!! TERRIBLE!!! NAZIS!!

Since you are so convinced you have the right view of the problem, show me how the Republicans have been willing to compromise on not cutting Medicaid and Medicare?

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.

A CR is simply an appropriation of funds for programs that have already been negotiated, voted on, passed, and signed into law.

This is not a place to try to start new spending or programs. In fact, new spending is PROHIBITED in a CR.


Summary

The program activities of most federal agencies are generally funded on an annual basis through the enactment of regular appropriations acts. When those annual appropriations acts are not enacted by the beginning of the fiscal year (October 1), one or more continuing appropriations acts (commonly known as continuing resolutions or CRs) may be enacted to provide temporary funding to continue certain programs and activities until action on the regular appropriations acts is completed.

There are six main features of CRs.

First, CRs have provided funding for certain activities (coverage), which are typically specified with reference to the prior fiscal year's appropriations acts.

Second, CRs provide budget authority for a specified duration of time. This duration may be as short as a single day or as long as the remainder of the fiscal year.

Third, in recent practice, CRs have typically provided funds based on an overall funding rate rather than in specified amounts.

Fourth, the use of budget authority provided in the CR has been prohibited for new activities not funded in the previous fiscal year.

Fifth, the duration and amount of funds in the CR, and purposes for which they may be used for specified activities, may be adjusted through anomalies.

Sixth, legislative provisions—which create, amend, or extend other laws—have been included in some instances.

Because not a penny was cut from either Medicaid or Medicare. Your ignorance is breathtaking.

 

[Luckyone]

Which are what, exactly?

Team concept. Helping every American, not just the rich.

In a democracy, I would ask how my party dropped the ball, and why my party was so unpopular, now.

Both parties are very unpopular now. There is disunity among Americans and that always leads to being unpopular. The Republicans (with the exception of Trump's cult which believes his lies) are also unpopular. Polls show that clearly. In fact, the Republicans have lost more support than the Democrats over the past 10 months.

How is Trump hurting you, specifically?

He is causing me to worry about the welfare and future of my nation. Given that I am by nature a caring person, I care about all Americans. My family is the same.

You brought up the idea of unity. I know democrats only want to divide us. I was calling you on your hypocricy.

Show me how the Republicans are doing anything to unify us. Trump wants revenge and retribution and he spews nothing but hate. You call that unifying?

Which is taxfunded healthcare for people who crossed the border illegally.

They are not being funded with healthcare. That has been proven false over and over again!

How is Trump hurting your family?

So, how does that lead to Democrats opposing a community service requirement for free Medicaid?

?????

Or you could have spent your life seeking the training, experience, and education needed to get a good paying job with good health benefits, instead of planning to be a professional burden on society and complaining that "it ain't enough."

We are talking about people that are simply trying to survive, many of which did not get a good education because they were not given the opportunity to do so. Many have handicaps (old age, disability, mental capacity etc)

Because if morale falls in the military and soldiers quit because they see themselves as of less priority than welfare deadbeats, the nation's security is harmed.

BS. We are still the strongest military in the world, better than the next 10 combined.

How does starving people help the nation?

If SNAP and AFDC deadbeats quit, what? Democrats lose voters?

You mean you are willing to hurt the ones that are NOT deadbeats (most on SNAP and AFDC) to hurt the ones that are?

Besides, the way to make sure SNAP benefits get paid is to sign the simple and clean CR, and then negotiate your other priorities. Why isn't your Party doing that?

?????

Stop debasing me by accusing me of debasing you.

"Why are you doing this" is an asinine question for one message board poster to ask another.

You never prove your points. It is all opinion based on lack of research and bias. You deserve to be debased!

Those proposals are trash, it isn't a plan at all.

42 million on SNAP is distressing

42 million? It sounds impossible

 

[EvilCat Breath]

You certainly CHOSE the right word when it comes to Trump, with the word being "opposing quarterback".

The idea was when Trump was chosen as OUR quarterback, that he was here to help ALL Americans. Nonetheless, you are right, he is the opposing quarterback for the 40% of Americans that are thinking only of themselves.

I am shocked at the large amount of Americans that don't care about the other half. Nonetheless, it is what it is! You certainly have shown what kind of American you are!

Stop lumping invasive species immigrants in with needy Americans. It's like putting the Burmese Python on the endangered species list.

Pass the CR and negotiate after.
What the Democrats are doing is hold the entire nation hostage to try and force $1.5 trillion through - and then because the Republicans are not going to do that - say the Republicans refuse to negotiate.
That is bald faced stupid. An OBVIOUS fallacy.
Which is why you like it.

T minus 2 until starvation onset

 

[WEATHER53]

They won’t be starving in NM ( the largest SNAP participants in the country) The governor just promised them $ 65.00 ea to be loaded to their card.

And such a charge paid by me would be taken off of my taxes by me

 

[WEATHER53]

NM restaurants did this also
