The Democrats have decided to shut down the government. Federal payrolls are only partially funded during the shutdown.
Amazingly enough, our Constitution says the federal government will maintain a standing army. Yet the shutdown affects their pay.
Senators that are bouncing around telling us how horrible the Republicans are are still taking a paycheck.
I’m unsure of how federal law enforcement is funded, but I keep reading about good enforcement actions.
SNAP, and it was gone
What isn’t funded is SNAP. All SNAP payments stop at the end of this month.
You are going to have many people who are suddenly unable to just buy food. Many of them haven’t prepared for this. Many of them have children.
Worse, many of these people feel entitled to take what is not theirs.
Over the next few weeks, I expect to see a massive increase in crime around the country as these people decide it is easier to steal what they want than to get a job and pay for what they need.
