…and we all know what happens when the citizens get hungry.

meanwhile, in the wealthiest country on the world...
i’m not understanding this at all. isn’t SNAP funded the year prior? isn’t the US fiscal year Jan-Dec? so.. huh? states should still have money for the remainder of the year no?
some states will use whatever excuse they can….
they probably already spent the snap funding on something else
Government fiscal year is Nov-Oct. So they are running out if they needed any extra such as from unexpected amounts of people losing their jobs or getting shifts cut. Something that happens when a large number of consumers are deported or flee and when various federal agencies have cuts. Further tariffs and mass reductions in shipping, removal of various government grants, etc.
I've read that they apply the fiscal year, from Nov to Oct. But I am not sure, I am not an usanian.
Unless they’ve exhausted their budget already and were waiting for a loan to distribute additional funds. New SNAP recipients get paid right away, they don’t wait for the remainder of the fiscal year to pass.
It's a lot easier to procrastinate about politics when the kids are fed. Really ups the stakes of the blame game.
on top of that work requirements start in December, so this is gonna be an oppurtunity for the government to cut record numbers off due to paperwork issues.
