1. La Amenaza Inminente y el Impacto Cuantitativo.
A medida que el cierre del gobierno se extendía hasta noviembre, la fecha límite del 1 de noviembre se convirtió en un punto crítico, ya que el USDA advirtió que los fondos se agotarían. Aproximadamente 42 millones de personas, incluidos niños y ancianos, dependen de este programa de asistencia alimentaria.
- About 42 million americans are poised to lose their supplemental nutrition assistance program snap benefits when federal funding comes to a halt on nov. 1 amid the government shutdown.
- Snap benefits for 42 million u.s. Households will end november 1 due to the shutdown, marking one of the most direct economic shocks to families yet.
- In just four days, roughly 42 nillion low-income americans could lose a lifeline that helps eed their families. On nov 1, the us department of agriculture is expected to stop distributing the supplemental nutrition assistance program snap as a result of the government shutdown.
2. La Decisión Política y los Fondos de Contingencia.
La interrupción de los beneficios fue vista como una decisión política deliberada por parte de la administración, que se negó a utilizar los fondos de contingencia de miles de millones de dólares destinados precisamente para emergencias como un cierre gubernamental.
- The choice by the usda to not access the 6 billion contingency reserve is deliberate.
- The trump administration is refusing to use usda contingency funds to keep the program afloat after gutting it to help pay for tax cuts for billionaires and corporations.
- The administration has both the funds and authority to ensure november snap benefits go out on time.
- Snap benefits arent running out because of a shutdown. Theyre running out because the trump admin lives to be cruel.
3. Consecuencias Sociales y Precedentes.
La suspensión de SNAP, un programa que nunca antes se había interrumpido durante un cierre, generó temores de una crisis de hambre masiva, obligando a los beneficiarios a recurrir a bancos de alimentos ya sobrecargados y a los estados a buscar soluciones de emergencia.
- This is an unprecedented situation- snap benefits have never been delayed due to a federal shutdown.
- Snap benefits cut off during shutdown, driving long lines at food pantries.
- If this happens, we will have the greatest hunger catastrophe in america since the great depression, and i dont say that as hyperbole.
- Snap benefits will stop for millions on nov. 1 due to the u.s. Government shutdown. Help send emergency cash to the lowest-income families as soon as their payments are missed.
