Half the Country Sues Trump for Using Shutdown to Slash SNAP Funding - sh.itjust.works

Approximately 42 million Americans—about one in eight people—who participate in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program stand to go hungry after November 1, when benefits are scheduled to expire. “Bottom line, the well has run dry,” reads a message explicitly blaming Democrats on the Department of Agriculture’s website. A coalition of 23 attorneys general and three governors are fighting for the latter. They argue that the USDA not only has the funds to continue feeding Americans via SNAP through the month of November, it also has “both the authority and legal duty” to do so.

One million veterans use SNAP.

So now veterans get less assistance with homes

And veterans get worse medical care.

And now they will go hungry.

Well, I don’t know if veterans deserve anything more than anyone else. They are just people who decided that they were willing to fight and kill for oil companies. Just add them to the list of normal people who use the benefits

Oh fuck this take. They were kids sold a lie by the powerful elite who had these goals. They get groomed and recruited out of ignorant conservative families then further brainwashed into a lifetime of authoritarian servitude. The GOP takes their entire lives away and lets them die early.

Some of the most conservative people I’ve met are vets that never say a day of combat.

It’s a fascinating trend
