While Democrats whine and gnash their teeth that illegal aliens are no longer able to get food stamps, the whole program is on the verge of running out of money due to the Schumer shutdown. The Department of Agriculture got October's funds out to states before the shutdown hit, but they do not have enough usable funds to cover November. Some may still get at least partial food stamp (SNAP) benefits but that will vary state by state.
The Schumer shutdown is now hitting a major Democrat constituency, welfare recipients. Maybe that will make them come to their senses and approve the clean continuing resolution, but maybe not.

Do they have a leftie billionaire "white knight" to cover food stamps like patriotic billionaire Timothy Mellon did for military personnel?

We, as local taxpayers, do NOT need to be getting ourselves on the hook for federal spending programs. Any lefty commissioner who votes for that should be tarred and feathered and run out of town on a rail. A county manage who calls for that should be summarily fited.

One of my agenda items for the Beaufort County Commissioners' general meeting was "The 'Schumer Shutdown,' and what is its Effect on Beaufort County," but I pulled it because that issue will be coming up on the agenda earlier in the meeting as an important business issue, not as an item of prospective curiosity which interests me and my constituents as I return to my first general meeting after my hip replacement surgery 5 weeks prior.
I will speak to that business issue from the Conservative perspective, which is always my political nature to do so. |

Is this one of those things that the big spenders on the county commission (Waters, Walker, and the two out of the closet Democrats) want to spend our county taxpayers money on? That would be an absolute outrage.
