House Republicans Willing To Let 46 Million Americans Go Hungry Over Planned Parenthood Fight

Republican religious extremism in America is reaching new heights as it moves farther and farther away from reality. It’s now threatening to take 46 million low-income Americans hostage – leaving them to go hungry by denying them food stamp benefits, starting October 1. Nothing exists in isolation, and the Republican threat to shut the government over funding for Planned Parenthood will also result in denying funding to the Agriculture Department (USDA), which administers the SNAP program – necessary food stamps benefits.

The Associated Press (AP) reported the other day that “If Congress does not act to avert a lapse in appropriations, then USDA will not have the funding necessary for SNAP benefits in October and will be forced to stop providing benefits within the first several days of October… .” “Once that occurs, families won’t be able to use these benefits at grocery stores to buy the food their families need.” This is a cash-flow issue, as the Department does not have sufficient reserves to pay out benefits as they did two years ago during the 2013 Republican-instituted government shutdown. According to Democratic lawmakers: “USDA does not have enough money in reserve to pay a full month’s benefits and a partial government shutdown would affect recipients in states that pay out their benefits at the first of the month until further notice.”

This is such a Bias reach of BS. A disgusting false peace of information. Your source is a far left group its not even journalism. Im for abortion in this country but you post is so wrong.

Omg. So many Americans use food stamps to feed their families. This will not be good at all.

This article is exaggerating. For now I'm not gonna believe it. I haven't been following Congress a lot lately but I'm Googling this and nothing like this comes up. I'm sure if this was the case it would be ALL OVER the news. Can you imagine the chaos? 

[Jesse Pinkman 4,660]

Yeah I don't see any credible sources about it either?

Yeah this seems quite exaggerated but to be honest anything can happen when Republicans are involved.

"Republican religious extremism in America is reaching new heights as it moves farther and farther away from reality"

That quote . And the award for class drama queen goes too...

Im a liberal guy but this is just too much haha. To say republican religious extremism is reaching new heights is a complete falsehood because the current "republican religious extremism" used to be the status quo.

If anything Republicans are become more moderate.... They aren't Isis lol

The article is definitely an exaggeration, but honestly I mean they did sort of hold the country hostage over Obama care and may do so again later with Planned Parenthood, so if something like this were true in the future like I wouldn't be surprised at all  :

"Further from reality" -- is interesting to me. The presidential candidates this time around are surprisingly far-right compared to recent attempts to be semi-moderate to attract young voters and minorities. This year its basically Ben is black, Carly is a woman, and Ted and Rubio and Jeb are hispanic/speak spanish

I saw the same report on my local news tonight. They were interviewing people in a grocery store. Lol Do you think they pulled the information from this source or do you think that the information might possibly be reliable? I'm not sure what to think right now.
