(NEXSTAR) – As the clock ticks down toward a potential partial shutdown of the federal government this week, millions who rely on federal assistance for food could be left in the balance.

If Congress fails to reach a deal to fund the government, a partial government shutdown would be triggered on March 1. That partial shutdown would impact several federal agencies, including the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), which manages SNAP and WIC food assistance.

SNAP, which stands for Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, used to be called the Food Stamp Program. The program helps low-income and no-income families buy groceries by loading up a monthly benefit allowance onto an EBT card.

Here we go again….it’s about the cccchhhhiiiillllddddrrrreeen! But not about the 75,0000 children who have crossed the border and are now missing who probably are being trafficking for sex or the sanctuary cities that are paying off oodles and oodles of millions of dollars to the invaders first to them and the black community secondhand citizens. But it’s all about the children hypocrite bastards.

And the cities will go up in flames and stores will be looted to the point of being stripped clean of EVERYTHING.

The ferals will not let something like the lack of government handouts stop them from taking what they want.

Those children don’t count. Thanks for posting. I am horrified that our country is driving child sex slavery.

Of course they will. They only won’t if RATs decide to purposely shut them down like some of the crap Obama did some years ago.

How will they pay for their crack, Escalade payments, ammo, etc., in the Ghetto?

Not to worry on Government workers, though, they get back pay AFTER they take their extended vacations, no matter how long the "Government" is "shut down".
