Beshear: Let me be clear. The president has both the funding and the authority to fund snap during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.

“If they need SNAP they should work”.
Most people receiving SNAP are working. Some are working two jobs.
Be angry at the employers who pay such a pittance that people are living below the poverty line.
Be angry at the billionaires hoarding the wealth
Stop blaming the poor.

"Republicans fail to get the 60 votes needed to pass their continuing resolution and keep the government open"
Fixed it for you.
That's how you wrote the headlines in previous years when Republicans successfully filibustered Democratic bills.
