Food assistance, health care costs, air travel, and military pay all face major strain if the shutdown extends beyond this week.
The pain of a U.S. government shutdown is poised to intensify this week as the funding lapse nears a full month with no resolution in sight.
A series of deadlines in the coming days could have negative consequences for ordinary Americans, cutting off food assistance for low-income Americans, raising health insurance premiums for millions on Obamacare and depriving air-traffic controllers, TSA agents and other federal workers of paychecks.
SNAP benefits, formerly known as food stamps, are slated to dry up on Nov. 1 without congressional action, impacting an estimated 40 million low-income Americans across red and blue states.
“Shutdown pain” is awful right-wing spin. During previous shutdowns these things didn’t happen because the executive branch didn’t stop paying for them. The Trump Admin bears sole responsibility for choosing to do this
always a reason we should relate to our supposed masters and always a reason why they are so benevolent without any faults
democrats not doing shit is just as bad a republican doing shit
