Obviously, you do know that passing the CR opens the government and the point is moot. The rest of the Dims know this means they have to operate in the open to justify spending more $$ they don't have.

Why is not passing a budget in almost 24 years not a problem for them?

HAHAHAHAHAHA! Ain't that what the Regime is doing now?

HAHAHAHAHAHA! Wanna talk about deficits? Debt? Save that for a loonier topic, please. This is already becoming a laff riot!

LOL.

You musta gone to the wrong Sunday school, bud.

If the Congress had controlled by Democrats for "almost 24 years", we would not be having this discussion.

And there would still be roses at the White House.

SNAP now burns $145 BILLION a year. That is $7.8 BILLION every single month.

Recipients spend TWICE what the average working American spends on groceries, because they aren’t spending their money; they are spending yours.

This isn’t “helping the poor.”

This is rewarding dependency and subsidizing foreign populations who arrived to take, not to build.

43 million people are on food stamps.
80% of SNAP users are also on Medicaid.
61% get two or more additional welfare programs.
And 53.5% of immigrants are on at least one welfare program.

Nearly 45% of Afghans in the U.S. are receiving FREE FOOD from you.

And now - incredibly - we have Somali migrants in America angrily demanding that their HALAL food pantry be restocked.

Not food. HALAL food - a sharia food system funded by the U.S. taxpayer.

In 2024, approximately 39% of SNAP participants are children, which translates to around 16 million children benefiting from the program. SNAP primarily supports low-income families, with a significant portion of its benefits going to households with children.

I know let’s start up a program and put those kids to work! They need to work or starve.

I always thought it was the parent’s responsibility to feed their children.

For a change, we’ve managed to squeeze a little Islamaphobia into the conversation. Wherever you can, eh? LOL!

Seems like you want to just disappear a few million low income people. For the crime of ???

Keep it classy boyz.

Seems odd. I don't care if I had to dig ditches in the freezing weather(I have) or flip burgers (I have) to take care of my family. Thats what I'd do... and have done.

Putting it on you seems not right.

And considering it an entitlement? GTFOH

I worked at a Walmart when I was in college. One of my friends was a divorced mother with 5 kids. Divorced because her ex-husband had PTSD from serving in Viet Nam. He couldn't even function, let alone work.

She was a fabulous mom. 100 percent "responsible" for her kids.

But she had 5 of them. And didn't get paid enough by fucking Walmart to be able to live without some help, even though she was an excellent employee. She got food stamps. And I have never regretted that some of my tax money goes to help people like her.

I would much rather that the rich AF Walton family paid people like her more. But none of us seem very willing to force them to do that. Higher minimum wage? Never! It will destroy us all! Instead, let's all help make the Waltons richer.

Oooh wouldn’t want to be hateful and divisive!!! God forbid.

What makes you think I want to join with America hating leftards and their moron fellow travelers?

I want to make them good communists.
It used to be that even if people had to go on public assistance programs, they wanted to get OFF of them as soon as possible. They didn't want to be seen as unable or unwilling to work to support their families. Now too many see it as a badge of honor to take money from people who work, so that they don't have to.

We should always be able to find money to feed people because we obviously have it. We have a president who doesn't give a fuck about the law so now all of a sudden, we can't use other funds to feed people because that's breaking the rules? Give me a fucking break... some matters should not be based on politics but instead on human decency.

Whatever disagreement these two asshole parties have with each other, they should at least be able to put their egos aside for their constituents to do the right thing because there is no "winning" here when people are running around hungry. And if you want to let that happen, stop fucking taxing me well over 6 figures a year while helpless kids will be going without the bare necessities to survive.

By the way, I hate to break it to you MAGAs, but Democrats are hardly the only ones on food stamps like your clueless master instructs you to believe.
