Checkmate. RATS lose their party tonight.
Can’t wait till Steny Hoyer trots outs the “Illegal To Pay For Food Stamps” argument, after he stepped on his “Holder” earlier today with his “Illegal To Pay Tax Refunds” gaffe.
EBT should end at 711, Wendy’s and all the fast food chains. I can understand groceries but most of the pukes who hold that card are younger than me and drive expensive cars. Welfare my ass..
Full article title: Trump team promises shutdown won’t stop food stamp payments in February, says program lacks funds for March.
Schumer and Pelosi have the power within their caucus to end this shutdown. The cost of the wall is a miniscule part of the overall federal budget. Just quit whining and do it.
“Taxpayer money saved would more than pay for the [Wall].”
Fixed! MAGA! :)
So the USDA has all these employees who usually are busy trying to get people hooked on government EBT cards for their food but are now not working. Millions of dollars are spent illegally on drugs, booze, prostitutes, and guns instead of food. So the the shutdown dries up the money in March. How about opening up soup kitchens manned by the furloughed USDA employees so those who are needy will have food, but the greedy thieves can no longer traffic EBT cards illicitly. Win/win.
in other words, it was Congress failing to pass appropriations to fund the program past Feb of this year. Which should have been done last year and has little to do with the shutdown.
Good, Illegaks won be getting food stamps in March.
All you others out there, buck up!
If the EBT cards are cut off expect massive rioting and looting.
Lock and load.
