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.

Now, do you personally want SNAP eliminated, and why?

I’m not playing your trick question game.

Bottom line is the Democrats voted for what?, the 13/14 time to keep the government closed?
SNIP
“Sen. John Fetterman said today that his Democratic colleagues need to own their role in the federal government shutdown as Americans begin to lose food assistance benefits and more federal workers miss paychecks. The Pennsylvania Democrat called it “deeply distressing” that SNAP benefits ran dry for many people this weekend, telling CNN’s Jake Tapper on “State of the Union” that he refuses “to put 42 million Americans in the kinds of food insecurity.” Fetterman is one of three members of the Senate Democratic caucus who has voted repeatedly with Republicans in support of a stopgap bill to fund the government through.”

"We are hurting the very people that we fight for. And now we're getting nothing for them if we continue to keep our government shut down," Fetterman said.

I don’t need to add any more, one of your own tells it like it is.
