Who will win? Trump’s Illegal Push for ZERO Food Stamps: Dems fought for $6B lifeline

[Conservative from Georgia]

That would get you 3 weeks. Why not just have the Dems vote on cloture for a clean

Why does Trump want 0 days worth of food stamps for recipients right now when they’re entitled to 6 billion in November?

They are eligible for it, not entitled.

Trump’s crew is fighting in court to gut food stamps to ZERO amid the shutdown for November, ignoring billions in contingency cash owed to 42M Americans. They lie it’s “only for disasters” bullshit, as the law says no such thing. This illegal stunt will flop hard in court.

Judges might force about 60% payouts…covers Nov.

Judges order Trump administration to use emergency reserves for SNAP payments during the shutdown

Two federal judge have ruled that the Trump administration must continue to fund the SNAP food aid program using emergency reserve funds during the government shutdown.

What law would the judges be applying that calls for that 60% figure?

All the democrats have to do is vote for the CR. 14 times now they have told the foood stamp people to **** off. Trump didn’t do that, the democrats did.

Democrats don’t have to vote for a bill they don’t support. It’s up to the majority to work that out. Bwhahahahahaha.

They just have to vote for cloture, and only a few of them have to.

They can vote no on the CR afterwards if they feel like.

[Conservative from Georgia]

My question is the only one that matters.

It’s not that. You know Trump is full of shit about the contingency fund being only about natural disasters. So you don’t wanna talk about it.

Actually we don't know that. do you have the text of the law handy?

Shumer shut down the government, dumbass.


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.

Dang, sounds like the typical liberal BS. But, what the heck, let's play along. If, and that's a huge IF, if Trump is pushing for zero food stamps, would he be expected to thank Democrats for making it a reality?

 

[Conservative from Georgia]

They are eligible for it, not entitled.

Trumps administration says they’re not eligible because the money is only for natural disasters. Face it Marvin. You didn’t even know this court case was going on.

All the Republicans have to do is give the Democratsa a CR they like and the shut down will be over

**** you.

There shouldn’t be a contingency fund because S AP shouldn’t exist to begin with.

LOL, some lefty judge will make up whatever shit they want.

I read the article, wasn't this supposed to happen yesterday?

Nostra is another one who finds it too uncomfortable to explain why Donald Trump wants zero of those billions in the contingency fund to be paid to food stamps recipients.

A second possibility is that Nostra has no idea what the law says.

They're all too stupid to understand any of that, they only repeat what their masters tell them to.

Guess MAGA kids will have to survive off Halloween candy and Duct Tape Casserole until the GOP decides to reopen the government. Oh well.

God damn you are stupid.
