The USDA had contingency funds exactly for this purpose

This is the right thing to do


No it wasnt, it was emergency funds for natural disasters, as in hurricanes, of which we are in the middle of the season.

Yes. They have cover from judges that hate them.

Ironic.

"I said that you had to pay all of SNAP. I do not care if $6 billion in reserve funds will not cover the whole $8 billion, I said pay it! Contempt! Contempt of court!" - the Obama judge in RI. The Judge in RI did not say that. In fact the Rhode Island judge was very complimentary of Trump and the swift action of his administration. "The court greatly appreciates the president’s quick and definitive response to this court’s order and his desire to provide the necessary SNAP funding,"

Do SNAP recipients get back pay like others?

Truly curious.

If by harder you mean “more productive” and “better people” then I agree with you.

But you raise an important point and it why fundamentally the democrats are evil. They want people to do worse so they think they need help and will continue to vote D.
Never vote for people who have a vested interest in your demise.

They should give blue states 100% of their snap benefits back and put it to zero in red states

The administration should run a report on account balances on the cards and open removal reviews for those that have more than half as months balance left on the cards. All entitlements should be use it or lose it every month and the balance only refilled to the amount they should have at the beginning of the month.

That would be a start. Then verify legal status for all entitlements. The one that are illegal a very likely collecting all entitlements available so that would be the starting spot for auditing legal status.

So 40 million are on SNAP and by every stat I have seen on here roughly 50% of illegal aliens are also on snap. The Biden admin let in 20 million people illegally over the last 4 years and we are now wondering why we have no money? When are we going to actually act like adults and call out the real problem. It isn't people starving in the US, because that isn't happening. It is "feeling sorry" for SNAP recipients, half of which are not here legally, and then finding funding for them. This is a joke. WE are going broke and we are fuct. If this continues we will have entitlements for 80% of a country and NO ONE to pay them.

Bad move.

Pay no one, fund nothing. Change no rules or procedures, pass no new legislation. Let's see where this shitshow goes. This is doing nothing more than giving the useless arse Congress a partial out.

I guess the recipients will have to go on a diet. Shed some of the blubber.
