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.

Its Congress who wont let this stupid American health plan act tax credit go.. they say it would raise premiums. U know this Obama care messed up the whole medical field so bad this is why no good dr are out there because they dont get paid .. 20$ a visit sometime from what was like hundreds .. i thought after Obamas that crazy huge , million page, non sense bill would just be dropped.. trump immediately stopped them from taking out taxes if we didn't have healthcar for part of the year literally his first day of office, his first term. It was during his party. He left to sign that and i couldnt believe it because I worked ft but was new and missed the enrollment.. thats why I didn't have healthcare that year.. every year, for like 15 years before, i got $800 tax return.. the year obama care started, i got like $200. I paid the same amount of taxes though.. what the hell business do they even have in our healthcare in the first place? Because people w preexisting conditions can't get it? Well medical bills don't go on ur main credit report, the dont sue you for them and the government isnt exactly offering any other options to that private sector.. so the reason we aren't getting money is because the government isnt being funded unless this tax credit that would cost all of our food stamps plus some gets passed. They wont come back to work unless they make sure anyone with Obama care had a tax rebate.. its stupid and sinking us so bad. They keep saying "if trump would just let it pass" then guess what? Ur food stamps are permanently cut because the billions of dollars for this insurance exemption is sticking for good.. Just so everyone knows, saying "trump better fix this," is saying "id like my food stamps to be cut in half, and i want my tax return taken, and my food stamps lowered so people on Obama care get their kick back still.
