The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

*IF* the House approves the bill as written by the Senate. The Senate version apparently funds SNAP through next September, while other funding ends January 30. What if the House votes to end SNAP on January 30? Trump has made it clear he regards SNAP as expendable.

I mean, it's rather implausible that the House would simply end the SNAP program in January altogether - any more than the fact that the current CR only runs through January 30 for everything else means that the Senate thinks that the entirety of the government (other than SNAP) would end in January as well. Instead, it just means that in January, we're coming back to the question (again) of funding the government going forward...and the Senate has tried to just take SNAP (of all programs) off the table from the January debate. IOW, even if there's another shutdown debacle in January (which I wouldn't bet against), at least SNAP won't be part of it.

I imagine that the House will be annoyed at that, since the SNAP funding appears to have been highly motivating in making sure this shutdown only went many weeks instead of many months. They might want to just move SNAP back to track everything else. But we'll see - they may be reluctant to make too many changes.
