Breitbart: The government office overseeing the nation’s food stamp program will slim down 95 percent of its operations by the fifth day of the government shutdown, according to U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) documents outlining shutdown contingency plans.
Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue said in a statement on Friday before the holiday weekend that despite the shutdown, “critical services” such as law enforcement, services protecting life or property, or services that are already covered with available funding will continue.
“There may be a lapse in funding for the federal government, but that will not relieve USDA of its responsibilities for safeguarding life and property through the critical services we provide,” Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue said in a statement. MORE HERE
SNIP: Any chance the illegals on welfare will self-deport after January?
But…but…who will sign up our newest arrivals from south of the border for their ebt cards, wic, snap, etc?
“SNIP: Any chance the illegals on welfare will self-deport after January?”
After January any manufacturer that has a cage code and does work for the Military supplying replacement parts will be out of business. How easy, or long, do you think it will take to rebuild those resources and what impact do you think it’s going to have on our military s readiness?
You would think there would be a mechanism in place to ensure the continued supply and readiness for our military. You know all the deadbeat government employees will be made whole as far as their over inflated paychecks go. These shutdowns need to be reorganized.

There are “Legacy” airframe parts for just about every plane we have flying right now that suppliers have had to re engineer, dimensions, material, and outside process. That takes a lot of time. Not to mention a lengthy Government approval process. We have several for A-10’s, B-52’s etc. There’s a much larger manufacture than us in our business park that has about a bazillion of these source approved parts. They have approx 250 employees. Managements getting worried.
On a brighter note our UPS guy attempted to deliver 40,000 round of 556 ammo to our local BLM office and they are closed down.
40,000 rounds of ammo for the BLM? Something wrong with that, just can’t put my finger on it.
Those rat bastards will have to do without King Crab and tenderloin beef for a while.
What part of the shutdown is not to like?
‘Those rat bastards will have to do without King Crab’
They always inflate ‘King Crab’ and forget the ‘imitation’ word in the description.
I’m agreeing with you!
‘Imitation King Crab’ thought of it makes me yak,
and tenderloin beef used to be used in Dinty Moore beef stew. Since the G’ment decided trans fat we should not eat, it’s been reduced to yuk.
Well, that’s one way to lick Food Stamps…
I’m curious– will the shutdown stop the Mueller investigation?
The problem with parasites is that their populations explode as long as they have a rich source of food.
Just as at zoos there are plentiful warning signs not to feed the animals.
THAT… is an interesting question Brown Eyed Girl!
Whut happens when these lawyers don’t get paid?
Whut am I thinking… they’ll just sue the government for backpay and lots of interest.
Nope, Herr Mueller’s investigation moves onward. No interruption for his treachery.
