Exactly how is it a "fact" that the government will run out of money for SNAP when it's already been funded for the foreseeable future?
Ummm……..ooops…..

It won't run out of money. It's already funded. 80+% of that will fund Food Stamps, free school meals, and other means-tested free food program benefits.

What's comical is that many lefties want to gut it, not realizing that doing so would eliminate Food Stamps, free school meals, etc., for tens of millions. Dumb and dumber. /SMH

Riots Loom As Food Stamp Cash Will Run Out By End Of January If Government Shutdown Continues


Didn't Nancy say "Let them Eat Cake"?
Your assumption is that SNAP recipients are all liberals/Democrats?

Lots of folks in rural areas need those benefits too.

Sad to see anyone getting joy from someone doing without in order to further their political agenda.


And yes both sides do it.

Just would expect us individuals to fight back against that kind of thing.

Default Nancy Pelosi Spending Her Shutdown at Hawaii Resort, Maxine Partying In Bahamas

These two traitors should be arrested and tried for treason against the American public.




Pelosi, who has put blame squarely on President Donald Trump for the current government shutdown, was spotted Thursday vacationing in Hawaii at the Fairmont Orchid resort, where room accommodations range from $899-a-night for a standard room to $4,899-a-night for the presidential suite.

Maybe some of those folks will be looking for a job instead of handouts....

The only item of import, in the OP, is that Pelosi has put the blame squarely on Donald Trump for the shutdown. That is as it should be. Rightly so, as that is squarely where the blame lies. Donald Trump was proud to declare a shutdown, and happy to accept the mantle. Give him the credit he is continuously seeking!

Unfortunately the budget in the house was passed (even though senile Nancy said it would not). Then it did not pass the Senate with the required democrat votes... so lets place the blame where it belongs.

Donald Trump happily accepted responsibility for the shutdown during his OO meeting with Pelosi and Schumer.

Enjoy Donny!
