Reposted from @king_dnaknowledge - According to the #DepartmentOfAgriculture if this #GovernmentShutdown stretches into February there won’t be money for f #FoodStamps And it certainly looks like this #ShutDown could last for quite a while, because #PresidentTrump is not backing down on his demand for #borderwallfunding, and the Democrats have pledged not to give him a single penny. So a few weeks from now, approximately 38 million people could be suddenly cut off from the #foodstamp program. If that scenario were to unfold, there is no telling what could happen. After just a few days, government workers are already freaking out about having their paychecks delayed. If people are getting this restless already, what will things look like when tens of millions of #Americans are suddenly cut off from their primary source of food money? Even though the government has been shut down, the Department of Agriculture still has some existing financial resources at their disposal, and they are assuring us that those enrolled in the #foodstampprogram will still receive their benefits “for January”. The following comes from CNN… Eligible households will still receive monthly SNAP benefits for January. But other domestic nutrition assistance programs such as the Commodity Supplemental Food Program, WIC, and the Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations will only be operational based on available resources. Additional federal funds and commodities will not be provided during the shutdown. #ChildNutritionPrograms including #SchoolLunch #SchoolBreakfast #ChildAndAdultCareFeeding #SummerFoodService and #SpecialMilk will continue through February. The #mainstreammedia is blaming this shutdown entirely on #PresidentTrump and that gives the Democrats a tremendous amount of leverage. The longer this shutdown lasts, the more painful it will become for ordinary #Americans, and once food stamp funds run out the pressure on President Trump to surrender will be immense. Will #Trump be able to keep going once tens of millions of Americans are yelling and screaming about having their food stamp benefits cut off? #Congratulations #DonaldDuck 🖐🏾👇🏾 #IAm_MsJohnson 💞 https://www.instagram.com/p/Br6t7lcB_gK/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=whf6rh11hes
