People are showing up on the news crying they are starving after one day without SNAP benefits.
The government has warned for weeks that if the Democrats do not vote to reopen the government then this would happen. Did any of those people set aside money or food to get through the temporary shut off?
Look, a few years ago I found myself out of work. Unemployment was a fraction of my previous salary. My mortgage and car payments and other bills were at a level to match my previous take home pay. Things were tough.
What did we do? We ate pancakes. We ate biscuits and gravy. We ate frozen pizza. We ate grilled cheese or peanut butter. Is that what I wanted for dinner? Nope, but it is what we could afford. We cancelled every streaming subscription we cancelled cable. No more beer. No movies. No more visits to the expensive hair salon.
If you need food then sell your designer purse. Pawn your tools. Sell your cell phone. Do what I did, go get a job, even a crappy one in retail.
Loss of your SNAP benefits doesn’t mean you are starving. It means you need to change your taxpayer supported life style.

Logic will get you nowhere, Joe.
SNAP benefits are paid out (I learned yesterday) on a formula based on the last digit of your SSN. The formula is Last Number of SSN x 2 + 1. So those with a 0 missed their payment on the 1st. Those with a 1 missed their payment today. Nobody else will miss a payment until Wednesday, and the last payments to those with a 9 won't be till the 19th.
So very few people should be hurting at this point. But those who are, well, it's the Democrats' fault; all they have to do is agree to the clean CR.
Huh, the I’m starving meme is even more fake than I imagined . I did not know that.

If you voted for this lying POS, you should be ashamed of yourself! He lies every time he opens his mouth, and YOU know it!!
Trump: "Our energy costs are way down. Our groceries are way down. Everything is way down. And the press does not report it… Thanksgiving meals 25% down. So I don't want to hear about the affordability."
