    State agencies are warning food stamp recipients to carefully budget their grocery purchases once they receive their February benefits weeks earlier than normal due to the partial government shutdown.

    The Department of Agriculture's backup plan for paying out Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits amid the lapse in funding means it could be 40 days — or longer, in some cases — before additional money is added to recipients' benefit cards. There is also no guarantee about when nearly 39 million low-income Americans will next receive another payment to help them buy groceries.

    As democrats continue to oppose border security and support policies that bring illegal immigrants (that ironically take food stamps) this shutdown will impact nearly 40 million adults.

    Time for Chuck and Nancy to come to the table and do whats right for the American people.

    Democrats are bent on destroying the country. Schumer and Pelosi are out for themselves and their party. They remind me the Nazi party or Stalin's goons.

    Guess they would rather welcome illegals than feed American poor.

    They will just have to be reminded that dems hate secure borders THAT much.

    Also, they are going to need to start budgeting or inner cities will get a bit sporty.

    It's Trump's fault for being a manchild by keeping government shut down.

    If you know anyone on foodstamps, remind them that they are going to have to budget very strictly.

    Top Dems have made it so.

    Candidate Trump in 2016: "Mexico will pay for the wall!"

    President Trump in 2019: "The government will be shutdown and federal employees will not be paid until the Democrats agree to force the American taxpayer to pay for the wall!"

    Heh.

    And Nancy was trying to run off rather than negotiate to reopen the government?

    Thanks to Trump, less people are on food stamps. If Obama was still around, the people on them would be a lot more.

    If the shutdown goes on much longer welfare bums may have to consider getting jobs

    If the shutdown continues liberal access to many staple necessities like beer, cigarettes and yes even pot and crack will be unavailable to the poor

    They make threads here claiming illegal immigrants are better people then Americans so it makes sense they want to help them more.

    Democrats care more about foreigners killed in a foreign Land by foreigners than they do Americans killed in America by foreigners

    Democrats literally believe that Mexico was going to come here and give us a giant Lotto looking check for the wall.

    Why does this matter to you so much?

    If it makes you happy we can take it out of the 10 billion in aid we just gave them.

    Democrats are going to the mat to prevent a physical barrier from being built. I wonder if they are in league with the cartels. We know Obama sent them guns to use on our border patrol.

    In the same bill that DT is asking for "only" $5b (and "only" is relative to total federal expenditures), is $45b for foreign aid. So it seems like the dems care 9x more about foreigner's problems than they do American's.

    Well considering Democrats took back the House on the back of their constituents not wanting the wall, I would say they are doing their job. Something I know right wingers know nothing about.

    Democrats are America last. They fly pallets of cash over the top of needy Americans to help out foreigners. If you have to pass over people in need whos money you are using to help other people than you are not being charitable.

    Trump beat Democrat hero Hillary Clinton by running on a wall. Trump is fighting for American Security. Something I know left-wingers know nothing about.

    Cant buy crack without your government handouts.

    Take your food stamps, buy meat, sell for 50 cents on the dollar...

    Now you've got cash.
