Beat me to it. That paragraph jumped out at me as well. And that doesn’t even include all of the programs, like WIC.
And yes, you have that right on school meals. The main school district in Houston offers free breakfast and lunch to all students year round. They recently expanded it to include the only 1/3 of students who were not already eligible under a means tested program.
But if we are feeding these kids breakfast and lunch, why are their parents getting food stamps for the same meals?
Stocking up on more popcorn.
It’s not a shutdown. It’s a partial freeze on funding of some departments of the government. The media exists to scare the public into thinking that they will not get their precious benefits.
Carefully chosen words, to create the maximum anxiety:
“Loomed”
“hit hardest”
They will go 24/7 with “The latest on the government shutdown”.
The president is exposing the fraud and corruption in our federal government for everyone to see, but too many of our countrymen would rather believe the garbage CNN, ABC, The NY Slimes and the DC Compost are spewing out there. I’m always an optimist, but I have to be honest and admit to feeling a growing pessimism for our nation’s future. Too many Americans have their heads shoved up where the sun don’t shine!
If this keeps up, all those food stamp and EBT users are likely to abandon the Republican Party and start voting Democrat. /s
A question often asked, never answered (although we already know why).
They started yesterday on Memphis’ local news. Government is basically shut down for 8 days in the next 14. 2 Back to back Holidays. And Government doesn’t work Saturday or Sundays. Except the Military, Police, EMTS.
Teachers have 2 weeks off.
Most people on Food stamps are ILLEGALS.

If they get down to about 50% of the employees left all the unnecessary employees will be gone. Too bad we can’t keep it that way.
And my favorite:
"An end to the shutdown didn’t appear to be in sight Tuesday, as President Trump dug his heels in over the budget."
If only President Trump would give up on the cornerstone promise of his campaign and lose his base in the process, this could all end.
All AFGE members.
Cry me a river. Everyone involved should get a job...even the government “workers” who basically are useless. Also, no food for fatties.
Because they have to keep the people on that actually make the agency function.
Proof is required of this statement. Government employees routinely working holidays and weekends???
LOL. so, democrat voters are hardest hit?
That's right.
The welfare mutants and zombies are always waiting in the wings, in this sort of scenario, as the army of the Rats, to be used as leverage.
The enemy media will point the finger at Trump as the cause of rioting, starving mutants.
There in lies the conundrum for democrats and their shut down. These folks would never vote conservative or Republican both the federal employees or the food stamp recipients, so it’s a zero sum gain for Trump and chaos for democrats and the largesse of federal workers who risk being exposed as useless expensive dead wood.
All lies
The true stories are the taxpayers on the hook for these low lives.
