i didnt know the food benefits were going to be cut until a couple of days ago. i was just going to find out.  i first heard there would be benefits for november but if they dont vote in october, there would be no benefits for december. i saw a news article that says there wont be benefits in november now. so the story changed.  

people go through a whole eligibility process. and are given certifications for things like six months at a time or a year a time.

schumer, why are you afraid of alexandria.  she is going to get voted out. 

that is one way to cause a national emergency

i am already seeing joke videos about people ransacking grocery stores during the shut down. 

no one really has three months to a year to figure out if the food benefits program should exist. it was created a long time as a way to help deal with poverty. 

The modern U.S. Food Stamp Program began as a pilot in 1939, but the program became a permanent, nationwide initiative with the passage of the Food Stamp Act of 1964. The 1939 program was an experiment during the Great Depression to address both hunger and agricultural surpluses, using a system of colored stamps. President Lyndon B. Johnson signed the permanent program into law in 1964, as part of his "War on Poverty".
 

• 1939: 
• The first food stamp program was launched as a pilot experiment in Rochester, New York. 
  
  
  

1961–1964: 

Pilot programs were re-established under President John F. Kennedy and expanded under President Lyndon B. Johnson. 

1964: 

The Food Stamp Act made the program permanent and expanded it nationwide. 

1974: 

The program had been extended to all jurisdictions within the United States. 

1977: 

A significant change eliminated the requirement for participants to purchase the stamps. 

2008: 

The program was officially renamed the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). 

aoc and schumer, did you coach anyone who lost their benefits on how to get their benefits back or what else they can do?

it costs 100 billion in the u.s. to maintain food benefits per year not including food banks.  it costs 200 billion in the u.s. to maintain highways per year.  

i think you will see alexandria and schumer at a dinner party with trump probably a few times over the holidays.  it will be a very marie antoinette kind of moment.  even though the internet says she didnt say "let them eat cake"  supposedly someone else said that 

i really do think this is about race for alexandria.   there is no easy way to say it.  you want to withhold benefits from people because you are worked up about your race.    not sure what it means.  

 its kind of morbid for aoc and schumer to not care about people going without food and stuff.
