42 million Americans will be starving starting November.

I’m starving for a reemergence of the American Work Ethic

All we need to do is cut the food stamp allotment by 25% for every woman without pre-school kids, and make the other 75% contingent on her getting a part-time job,

This is about the government shut down and it is about the fact that the beautiful bill that is the basis of the controversy, is cutting Medicaid and Medicare and the Democrats are against that (rightly so). Your post is simply trying to find excuses for Trump because this has nothing to do with "1.5 trillion to continue to finance subsidies"

Trump is willing to starve 42 million Americans to get his way!!!

Maybe you need to read what is in the CR. But why do that right?

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

No, your are 100% wrong. There is no bill on Trump's desk to sign.

This shows that democrats will literally starve children for power

 

[justoffal]

The crazy democrats are at it again. They are demanding 1.5 Trillion to continue to finance subsidies that they themselves agreed would sunset. Now suddenly they want them subsidized. They also want to spend money overseas on projects most do not really want.
Funny how the democrats do not mind overspending and then claiming republicans are irresponsible.
But then again most of the democrat cult is mentally ill.

This tells me that they have found a way to siphon off the subsidies.

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.

Thats because it is Schumer fault (well both of their faults really), but repubs said let's sign this cr to keep the government open so we can work it out. Dems said nope, they want their concession in the CR and so here we are.

But on a good note, the unemployment rate will drop from 4.3% to 0.00001%.

They'll even be scrambling to take your job as USMB shitposter.

Trump supporters will lie that it’s Senator Schumer’s fault.

The Democrats need to get their heads out of their asses and pass the CR.

Are all those illegal aliens worth it? Most of the people losing their EBT are black.

Actually they have put themselves between a rock and a hard place.
When they agreed to the subsidies and when they would end instead of sitting down and trying to fix Obamacare that is broken they just let it go. Now they realize that when people see the higher rates they will realize that democrats are responsible. That will lose them votes. Failure to open up the government and hand out EBT cards is going to cost them votes. So now it is try and blame the republicans in the hope voters will believe that or at the very least blame Trump.

Hungry is one thing but nobody has starved in the Greatest Country in the world since the FDR administration's "Great Depression". The fact is that most Americans are clinically obese today. There are food banks and local food sources everywhere. If a parent or parents are too consumed with drugs or alcohol addiction to provide for their children the social services need to investigate.

According to AI...

AI Overview

There were approximately 7.2 million job openings in the United States as of August 2025, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. This number was unchanged from the previous month, though openings decreased in some sectors like construction and federal government, while increasing in areas such as healthcare, hospitality, and retail.

• Total openings: 7.2 million
• Monthly change: Unchanged from July 2025
• Key decreases: Construction (-115,000) and federal government (-61,000)
• Key increases: Healthcare and social assistance (+81,000), leisure and hospitality (+97,000), and retail trade (+55,000)
• Other data: Hires and total separations were little changed at 5.1million and 5.1million, respectively

Also take this into consideration, for what it's worth: Out of a total population of 347,275,807 people in the US (2025), the total civilian labor force in the US is over 170 million people. That means that a little over half the people in the US are working.

Not all are Americans.
Most of those 10 or 20 million illegals are also receiving SNAP.

More to the point, if you and others really believe this shyte and REALLY do care about "people starving", than clear some stuff out of your pantry and donate to local food bank, or a church that is giving food to low-incomes. Nothing stops you from digging into your own wallet and paying out some $$$ to feed your "starving" neighbors.

That is correct. Republicans have introduced TWO bills to fund SNAP, in both House and Senate.

But Schumer won't budge. He's going to starve his own constituents for a little "leverage".

Is anyone reading between the lines here? How many of these 42 million welfare recipients are voting democrap? This is just one of many ways in which the democraps are buying votes. Listen up conservatives, if we can stop all the money invested in BS by the democraps just to keep the democraps in power, we can significantly lower taxes AND get universal healthcare AND free college AND create a robust economy with a thriving middle class once again.

You took $2 trillion from the budget by extending tax cuts that WERE DUE TO SUNSET, that benefit the wealthiest by far, and had to cut Medicaid, ACA, and some Medicare to do it.

THAT is why we are in this mess today....

West Virginia, TRUMP country, as a percentage has the most citizens receiving SNAP...from what I've read... and overall Red States receive more from the federal government in SNAP benefits...than the Blue States.....Disabled, the poor elderly, unpaid care takers for the elderly and disabled, women with mostly fatherless children, are some of the ones that may not have jobs to receive food help...but the largest single category of recipients that qualify for snap, 40%, are the working poor.....

I think it will hurt both party leaderships
