Food Stamp Money Will Run Out By The End Of January If The Government Shutdown Lasts That Long
End of the American Dream ^ | December 26, 2018 | Michael Snyder

According to the Department of Agriculture, if this government shutdown stretches into February there won’t be money for food stamps. And it certainly looks like this shutdown could last for quite a while, because President Trump is not backing down on his demand for border wall funding, and the Democrats have pledged not to give him a single penny. So a few weeks from now, approximately 38 million people could be suddenly cut off from the food stamp program. If that scenario were to unfold, there is no telling what could happen. After just a few days, government workers are already freaking out about having their paychecks delayed. If people are getting this restless already, what will things look like when tens of millions of Americans are suddenly cut off from their primary source of food money?

Even though the government has been shut down, the Department of Agriculture still has some existing financial resources at their disposal, and they are assuring us that those enrolled in the food stamp program will still receive their benefits "for January".

I predict there would be a drastic lowering of drug prices because so many ‘hood rats would start to compete with their local ‘unregistered pharmacists’ that dope’s street price would collapse under the pressure of competition.

They are criminal aliens.

**************************

Criminal aliens from outer country. Which is somewhat different from criminal aliens from outer space.

The differences are mostly cosmetic and distances traveled to commit their criminal trespass.
