Approximately 42 million Americans—about one in eight people—who participate in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program stand to go hungry after November 1, when benefits are scheduled to expire.

“Bottom line, the well has run dry,” reads a message explicitly blaming Democrats on the Department of Agriculture’s website.

A coalition of 23 attorneys general and three governors are fighting for the latter. They argue that the USDA not only has the funds to continue feeding Americans via SNAP through the month of November, it also has “both the authority and legal duty” to do so.

    Well, you just listed the two options, and judging by your tone youve already accepted one of them.

      The world isn’t black and white. All ideas can be taken to a destructive extreme. There are always more choices. Pull your head out of the sand.

        Right back atcha. Its not a matter of what you feel, its a matter of what IS CURRENTLY HAPPENING in the days since you stated that. If people dont start rioting, right now, then people are going to starve. Wrap in up in whatever bows and idealism youd like, but yeah, guerilla warfare or death. And its not hypothetical, its happening now.
