1. La Centralidad de los Beneficios SNAP en la Crisis.
El programa de asistencia nutricional SNAP se convirtió en el principal punto de conflicto durante el cierre, afectando a millones de familias. La retención de estos fondos fue vista por muchos como una táctica de "toma de rehenes" utilizada por ambas partes para obtener concesiones políticas.
- 42 million americans are at risk of losing SNAP benefits. Why? because chuck schumer and the democrats would rather fight president trump than feed families all to please their radical base.
- Snap benefits would be available if five democrat senators would vote to reopen the government. Thats not trumps decision. Thats chuck schumer.
- Trump is starving children said schumer never before in american history not once under a democratic president or a republican president has SNAP funding lapsed during a shutdown.
- Snap benefits will be paid in full today. If chuck schumer would agree to open the government and stop his filibuster.
2. Críticas al Liderazgo de Schumer y Acusaciones de "Plegarse".
El senador Chuck Schumer enfrentó una ola de críticas, tanto de la oposición republicana (que lo culpó del "Schumer Shutdown") como de su propia base progresista, que lo acusó de falta de liderazgo y de ceder ante las demandas republicanas sin obtener garantías suficientes, lo que llevó a múltiples llamados a su renuncia.
- Schumer should be replaced now. What an epic failure of sen dems. Disgraceful.
- We need to remove chuck schumer this guy always folds. Hes not gonna get what he wants, which is the assistance of SNAP recipients and you sure shit not gonna get the subsidies for the aca because republicans do not keep their words. Its time for schumer to step down!
- If democrats fall for this crap cowardly cave, after tuesdays elections, they all deserve to lose their jobs! i cant do anything with my red state senators, but i can sure reach out to chuck schumer i am!! SNAP benefits should be paid, salaries for federal workers paid, aca extended!
- I am furious right now. I became a democrat in 2015 when trump was nominated. Im not on aca or snap. Im furious with democrats. Schumer needs to go.
3. El Intercambio Político: SNAP versus Subsidios del ACA.
Las negociaciones se complicaron al vincular la financiación de SNAP con la extensión de los subsidios del Affordable Care Act (ACA). La base demócrata temía que, al asegurar los beneficios alimentarios inmediatos, se sacrificara la protección de la salud a largo plazo, ya que los republicanos no eran de fiar para cumplir sus promesas.
- Trading the aca for SNAP isnt going to help anybody.
- If youre mad at schumer you probably dont rely on SNAP. What good is healthcare if you cant afford to eat.
- Tell schumer not to cave. Save healthcare premiums and SNAP. Now. We need these things now.
- We need to remove chuck schumer this guy always folds. Hes not gonna get what he wants, which is the assistance of SNAP recipients and you sure shit not gonna get the subsidies for the aca because republicans do not keep their words.
4. El Resultado del Acuerdo y la Financiación Temporal de SNAP.
Finalmente, se llegó a un acuerdo que permitió reabrir el gobierno y asegurar la financiación de SNAP por un año, además de garantizar el pago retroactivo a los trabajadores federales. Sin embargo, la falta de una extensión garantizada para los subsidios del ACA fue percibida como una derrota estratégica para los demócratas.
- Schumer didnt hold the line, he blessed this whole deal. And its masterful - SNAP is funded for a year, republicans will vote on the record against aca funding, and then dems can do another shutdown in 60 days without starving 40 million people.
- The democrats were able to get SNAP fully funded for a year, fired workers rehired, back pay for all federal workers, a vote for.
- The sell-out caucus needs to hear that the community has been stepping up for SNAP families and we were counting on dems for once - shame on them and on schumer!!
- I want schumersresignation after allowing the only leverage they had of preventing the medical increases the us is now going to see. And caving at a high point with courts backing SNAP payments, the population agreeing with dems, and on the heels of an election tsunami. This feels like treachery.
