I know yall are excited about the idea of starving people, but its not going to happen. Even the Republicans would impeach Trump first.

There you go again. Attacking the messenger instead of addressing the topic at hand.

It's the Democrats who are refusing to vote for something they already approved when it wasn't Trump sitting in office. Nothing more than that. I simply ask, what happens when the money runs out?

Nationally, food stamp participation is highest overall among households in rural areas (16%) and small towns (16%) compared to metro counties (13%).


In 23% of rural counties, at least 20% of households participate in the federally funded Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, meaning they get monthly food stamps to help them purchase certain types of food.

You do know the senate passed a clean CR with 100% voting for it, and no wall money...right? And that Trump said it was his shutdown and he would take responsibility for it...right?


Or cant you hear that past your fingers in your ears while you chant lalalala?

It's a spin on statistics. Comparing a county of a few thousand against one of a few million.

The public seems to be blaming Trump and the Republicans in Congress though. Not sure why you think that would change

Hmm. No they don't.


And if you don't like the Source, then don't read it. It doesn't change it though.

I didnt think I needed too. Do you need me to explain what %'s are?


As a % Rural areas are more dependent. IE apparently just as unable to support themselves as city folk. So theyre going to be JUST as angry.

Meanwhile in reality.
47% blame Trump
33% blame Democrats
7% blame congressional Republicans.


More importantly? Only 25% supported Trump doing this.

Do we need to explain to you what absolute numbers are? California has the largest number of residents on SNAP.
