[quote=Anonymous]Technically they aren't blocking (other than the Senate blocking resolution of the shutdown) The mechanics of funding SNAP mean that specific steps would have had to be taken to use contingency funds to have the money in the SNAP settlement accounts in time for the money to be disbursed. I believe that would have required the OMB to be involved, and that's Vought. Maybe there was one other way to do it. More to the point, the agencies would have had to take steps to prepare for this to happen if the shutdown dragged on. Instead they counted on being able to pressure the Democrats to fold. The messaging has become more distorted as time goes by. Anyone see the Walmart Thanksgiving basket announcement from Trump? That it costs 25% less than last year? Except it 86'd a third of the items? [/quote]
