I'm sick + tired of the Repugs holding our country hostage...

[ultralite001]

No food assistance for Americans unless... until...

Dems agree "to reopen government"...

That's not the way this country works.... We don't negotiate w/ terrorists...

Repugs are f-ing holding America hostage... Vital services... Health care...
Food subsidies... Housing... Education... + more...

This is not why these individuals were elected to office... Repugs have
bent + broken + twisted + manufactured + lied + stolen the nations' good.

It's time for Dems to take it all back... + hold the Repugs to account...

7. Do Repugs not understand how the SNAP program works???

Per USDA rules, households can use SNAP benefits to purchase:

Fruits + vegetables
Breads + cereals
Dairy products
Meats, poultry + fish
Snack foods + non-alcoholic beverages
Plants + seeds which are fit for household consumption.

Restaurants operating in certain areas may be permitted to accept SNAP benefits from eligible candidates like elderly, homeless or disabled people in return for affordable meals.

The USDA is clear that households cannot use SNAP benefits to purchase the following:

Wine, beer, liquor, cigarettes or tobacco
Certain nonfood items like:

Hygiene (soaps, deodorant, menstrual care)[59]
Paper products, household supplies
Pet foods
Hot prepared foods in grocery stores
Food items that are consumable in the store
Vitamins + medicines Live animals + birds.

SNAP benefits support a wide range of businesses across the United States, including large superstores, supermarkets,
convenience stores, small specialty shops, bakeries, butchers, dairies, farm stands + farmers markets. Approximately
80% of SNAP-authorized retailers are small establishments, such as locally owned convenience stores + specialty food
shops, which rely on SNAP revenue, particularly in high-poverty areas.

Finally, here are four additional benefits:

1. The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) helps folks save money + stretch their budget.
2. SNAP helps boost the local + national economy.
3. SNAP makes it easier to afford healthy food.
4. SNAP can help lower healthcare costs — which benefits all of us.
