it's hard to comprehend how people became so dependent every.month on government benefits....? are these illegal immigrants? regular citizens trying to make ends.meet? illegal immigrants should not receive benefits of any kind.

Before anyone decides to.metion again about immigrants receiving government benefits, take time to learn the policy. However, the individuals that were given asylum, the feds have different rules and they regulate the policy. Statistics show that the majority of people looking for asylum are from Africa, India, Nicaragua, Salvador, and not Mexico..

It’s both parties to blame! The budget pertains to the people. We are the ones who can flourish or suffer from these appointed positions we voted in. I don’t get snap but I worry about all the children of the people who do get snap. What do they do?🤔 🤔🤔🙏🏾🙏🏾

Is anyone gonna mention how this all is being done to the American people all the while that demolition is happening at the White House. And Trump is saying the there are other companies contributing to finance all the construction of the added ballroom. I find that hard to believe. Why is it that this government shutdown is going on at the EXACT same time as the construction of the ridiculous add onto the white house. We should DEMAND proof of these financial contribruters & a contribution list of the amount of what each one has donated to the cause. We have a right to know. And if it's true they shouldn't have a problem with it. Would t everyone agree ?

You are delusional trying to blame democrats. Republicans will not come to the table and discuss health care. Johnson is no good. Congress should not get paid. Fire all of them.

I’m 70 yrs old disabled and widowed… I lost my husband unexpectedly, he was only 59. I live on SS and received SNAP when he passed 2 yrs ago. Never in my life has this ever happened where the shutdown has hurt so many. What is wrong with our government? It is very sad God Bless us all 🙏🏼 why didn’t they pass the clean CR that was in place and figure it out later?

it should be illegal for congress to shut down, vote these people out of office. These people on shut down are still getting paid and it's not right, they are on vacation and don't care one way or the other.

to be honest it's on both because nobody can put their differences aside for once and realize that this shutdown is hurting everyone not just one side both sides are acting like a bunch of 2 year olds grow up and do what needs to be done

it was decided they day it shut down today I got an email and a phone call from HHS I will not be getting any of my snap benefits not that it matters to me being disabled I only get $24. a month because the state of Texas does their calculations way different then the state of Colorado where I got over $100. a month plus the state of Texas won't let me file a fraud report on my own benefits 8 believe that someone is getting Medicaid under my name and social security since 2020 and still is I discovered this year I went from a white female to a Hispanic female so can anyone explain that for me.

Here’s the facts - Republicans control the House. They write the budget bills. If the government shuts down, it’s because the House majority can’t pass their own bills, even with Democratic help waiting in the wings. Democrats have consistently supported clean continuing resolutions to keep government open. This isn’t opinion — it’s procedural fact. The GOP House can’t even agree internally because the far-right bloc refuses to pass anything that isn’t loaded with ideological riders. That’s not fiscal discipline — that’s hostage-taking.
