“Discussing” is what Congress does

Politically this is a great move..

Democrats are boxed in.

Democrats want the chaos of the shutdown, but if Republicans piece meal the spending and force democrats to vote individually on things like this what are Democrats going to do?

They either vote for it, or vote it down and see their base go insane for not getting their food stamps and everyone will know they are why they aren’t getting them .

“I’d love to know where Freepers stand on this one!”

Pass the bill only to see what happens in the Senate.

If the Senate dems kill it... it’s another nail.

Allowing the dems to continue withering on the vine by not funding the illegal-alien benefit package futhers the notification that the DNC continues as the party supporting Illegals, criminals, hamass and Marxists.

SNAPLAND STORE

Truck in canned veggies, pasta and rice
Truck out expensive stuff

And don’t wait until the SNAP cards are empty.

Welfare is immoral and unconstitutional.

Charity is voluntary and pleasing to God. Welfare is using the coercive power of govt to rob one for the benefit of another. It is unconstitutional because it is unequal treatment, which violates equal-protection.

42 million on SNAP? You have to be kidding me. What a disgrace. We are a country of freeloaders.

Force the democrats to vote on record on:

1. Paying the military
2. Paying essential federal employees
3. Continuing SNAP benefits

Dare them to vote against it. It’s win-win.

Giantmart ‘Free’ Food Line

Just show us your SNAP card and then get in line.

Line & Aisle A: Your choice, one per person:
a can of veggies
a pound of pasta
a loaf of short-dated bread
a chicken breast

Line & Aisle B: Your choice, one per group of at least two:
a carton of 12 eggs
a gallon of milk
a box of store brand cereal

Stores could write down how much was given out each day and seek government reimbursement.

Breaking up the budget into separate bills for each funded program is a good idea. No more holding the entire government hostage to appease minority factions.

Let the Democrats stand or fall by the individual programs that they support.

The Republicans need to do something to generate good PR and put the Dems on the defensive. If a bill to keep food stamp benefits flowing is it, so be it. The GOP is real good at doing nothing until a ton of bad publicity forces them to cave in. They should do this.

“I’d love to know where Freepers stand on this one!”

EVERY SNAP RECIPIENT is a lazy fat pregnant Black gal with ten kids milking the system. Not one person actually needs it even though they have worked hard all their lives and are just temporarily down on their luck.

I’d like to see part of that bill require all congress critters donate their salaries for partial funding and follow with an amendment to change the constitution accordingly.

The silly CR only has 3 weeks left anyway, so it’s time to propose and pass a spending bill that runs through 9/30/2026. Passing separate spending bills for each special interest group is even worse than the 7-week CR lifespan culture that dc is in.

DO IT! The dems have already said that the SNAP benefits are going to be the lever they try to use to break the Republican demands. This nullifies that “tool”, and puts the dems back under the spotlight.

Stupid idea. Isn’t most of the funding done by states? Or should be. It once was that way.

Same with Medicaid. It’s supposed to be state funded mostly.
