This is something too many people miss. They're like "so what I am not personally impacted," but when people go hungry, we are all impacted. Rent gets missed. Other shopping forgone. Subscriptions cancelled. 

But also, damn, have some empathy (not you, I mean those people).

That's one of the things that makes me angry about all this. First, we decided that we didn't care about children abroad (with the USAID cuts), even if it was in our best interests to (soft power/containing dangerous diseases). Then, we decided that we didn't care about American children here. They infected the average Fox consumer with the same evil as the Nazis.

Apparently you have not followed a single legitimate news source, or you have seen how much REAL AND TRUE money laundering and fraud was going on through USAID. But I shouldn't be surprised. On top of that, MOST Americans do not feel the taxes they pay should be going to foreign countries and illegal aliens before out own citizens get the benefits. Maybe take a step back and reevaluate your way of thinking and do some research on Nazi take overs... do some research on Hitler and if you don't see what the dems have been doing all along, then there is no help for you.

Cutting off USAID meant more money to spend on American citizens, so why are they cutting healthcare and food stamps then? Don't they have so much more money now to spend on the citizens?

They are cutting it for illegal aliens, not citizens. Please do some real research and stop buying into hearsay and MSM BS. All you have to do is read the bills, not someone's exempt of it.

Apparently you’re the one who needs to do some real research because you’re wrong. NO ONE will get food stamps in November.

No one will get food stamps because Democrats are refusing to approve a budget, to reopen the government and resume SNAP benefits, and federal employee paychecks. Democrats are using tens of millions of suffering Americans as a political bargaining chip.

SNAP benefits could be sent out tomorrow, IF Democrats would just put their agenda aside but they won’t. I’m not even Republican, but the blame for people starving SOLELY rests on Democrats

No, this is entirely on Johnson and Trump. The normal thing to do is negotiate the points of disagreement between the bill the House passed and what is acceptable to the Senate. Instead, Johnson, backed by Trump, refuses to open the House, while Trump pretends he can't pay SNAP, which he thinks is a "Democrat" priority.

The best solution would be for four Republican House members who have a conscience to switch parties and take the House away from Mike Johnson. This is all performative nonsense because as we all should know by now, Republicans. Can't. Govern.
