[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Food Stamps (SNAP benefits) can’t be paid out if Congress does not appropriate funds for November.

What will happen if 40+ million people don’t get food stamps about 10 days from now?  Total monthly benefits are just under $8 billlion.[/quote]

In a few short days, 40 million people are going to lose access to other people’s money!![/b]

sounds like a positive trend.

maybe that is why Trumps approval ratings are inching upwards. [/quote]

Great, then you can stop having access to other people’s money too. You can pave your own roads, provide your own fire and police and military protection, eat unregulated and untested food, homeschool all your kids, work until 80, then pay full price out of pocket for outdated medical treatments and all your retirement costs.  And don’t even think about flying or visiting national parks.[/quote]

Different poster here.
You really don't understand the difference between all those things you listed, which benefit and are available to ALL residents, and direct funds that go straight into an INDIVIDUAL's pocket?[/quote]

It would be available to you as well, thats the point of a social safety net. And as stated over and over, majority of SNAP recipients work. Including military personnel. [/quote]

No,[b] it's not available to me as well, because there is an income requirement.   [/b]

There is no income requirement to drive/walk/bike on roads
There is no income requirement for police and military protection
There is no income requirement to consume regulated and tested food
There is no income requirement for public school.
These are available to ALL residents.
Food stamps are not.

But I guess you answered my initial question.   You do not understand.[/quote]

RIGHT! IF YOU MADE UNDER THE INCOME REQUIREMENTS IT WOULD BE AVAILABLE TO YOU.

Everyone cant go to all national parks. You need to have the money to fly or drive, lodging or camping equipment. Thats an income requirement. Do you have the same issue with subsidized or sliding income-based passes to national parks? 
Not all neighborhoods have local fire and EMS that can respond in less than 10 minutes- do you? Thats because you live in a well-funded community. 
Not all public schools have the same resources. 
Not all communities have walking paths or bike paths or sidewalks because they are expensive to build and maintain.

RIGHT.   FOOD STAMPS HAVE AN INCOME REQUIREMENT AND ALL THE OTHER THINGS YOU LISTED DO NOT.
Yet, you apparently do not understand that they are not the same.    Ignorant.[/quote]
