Next week, millions of Americans who rely on food stamps are going to feel something brutal and immediate: their benefits won’t show up. The money simply won’t load onto EBT cards. Grocery trips that were already hard are about to become impossible. Food banks are already warning they can’t absorb the impact if this drags on.
This is not an accident. This is not a “glitch.” This is a direct result of the ongoing federal shutdown — a shutdown driven by Democrat demands to force taxpayer-funded health coverage for illegal aliens back into the budget.

The Democrats are going to frame the narrative that "Evil Republicans shut down the government so 41 million Americans will starve"
We know the real story but that is irrelevant.
Time to use the nuclear option or we'll eventually end up caving to the Democrats two weeks from now.
SNAP Spending Doubles to $127 Billion
Federal government spending soared 40 percent between 2019 and 2023...
Note the timing. But maybe it wasn't just CoupFlu and the lousy economy...
Anyone else wondering if there was a YUGE amount of money laundering going on with this program, too...
They don’t want a sandwich. They want huge carts loaded with food.
Glad I don’t shop at “Walmart’s.”
Don’t let him make your cheeseburger. 😏
I’m an old man.
I spent my entire life
working, paying taxes and
caring for my family.
I have little respect for
Democrats that only vote for
GIMME DAT! politicians.
Let them go hungry.
Food will be provided
for people worth saving.
I’d never willing feed a
Democrat voter that
wants to use the government
to rob me in order to
feed some POS that won’t
work or gain new skills to
be useful.
Government jobs outside the military
are not useful. Private companies
can do it all better and cheaper.
The death of the Democrat party.
Or the families that rely on it.
Like i said i think the GOP is afraid.
The GOP and Republicans are gutless.
Nah.
Maybe blackmailed or paid off.

RE: The Shutdown, Democrats and Free Stuff
The main lesson patriots should be taking away from the government “shutdown” is just how much money is forcibly taken from hard working, citizen taxpayers and redistributed, Karl Marx style, to the half of Americans that pay no federal income tax whatsoever.
Do you pay taxes? If so, that is YOUR MONEY Democrat politicians are screeching about when they hyperbolically moan about the government shutdown making people not have ”free” health care or “free” food or “free” child care or “free” Section 8 housing subsidies.
I’m all for government helping people who genuinely are unable to help themselves, but something is terribly, terribly wrong when one half of the nation is responsible for supporting the basic needs of the other half.
Worse, this is how Democrats maintain power, i.e., free stuff in exchange for votes.
But here is the even crazier thing. It’s the DEMOCRATS who have shut down the government and cut off the flow of free stuff to their most important constituents.
Makes no sense, right?
But it does make sense. I’ll tell you why.
Even with all the “free” stuff, Democrats are losing voters. The 2024 election showed this: record numbers of blacks, Latinos, young males and other traditionally Democrat voters switched sides. So the Democrats’ solution is to get MORE new voters dependent on free stuff—i.e., illegal alien voters. THAT is why they are willing to shut down the government and screw over their traditional base. It’s more important that they get free medical care and other free stuff for illegal aliens so they can stay in power.
The Democrats’ rhetoric makes all of this non-obvious, and there are more unspoken steps to the process like amnesty for illegals, but I assure you what I say is the gospel truth.

I do, but picked up some extra provisions today, just in case.
It’s the long-planned “collapse the system”.
You think Queen Sha-Queesha is gonna go quietly?
What will they do? Maybe buy fewer scratch off lotto tickets. I would say buy more groceries and less beer and cigarettes, but I suspect those essentials will take precedence over food. Maybe cut back on the pizza and burgers. Ah won’t do that either. You can live on ramen for a while. Doubt they’ll do that either
As Rush Limbaugh once said how do people get rich? They get rich by doing things that make them rich. Why are people poor? They do thinks that make them poor.
Imagine what is going to happen when freeloaders who are over 300 pounds and sit on their fat asses all day long waiting for their next govt freebie to come in the mail, dont get their “Free food” it wont be pretty
They’re going to chimp out like always.
