This perfectly encapsulates what the GOP position is on the shutdown.

Worse is there is this thing going around... a β€œrumor” going around that people should save their SNAP / EBT / Food Stamps to get more.

Do not do this.

First, buy the things you need. Shop smart.

And I can already hear Donald Trump saying it:

"We cut off the Food Stamps β€” many people, thousands, even millions of people, still had Food Stamps left over. Can you believe it? They said they needed it, but it turned out, not everyone needed it. They had so much left over β€” so obviously, they didn’t need it!"
