I think Dems should have gotten more out of this shutdown but I’m getting the sense that they will have another bite of the apple soon.
With the Winter Holidays taking up a lot of space in the legislative calendar, January will be here before Congress knows it!

Dems have been promised a vote on the ACA in December. And they can shut everything down again in January if they aren’t satisfied.
Critically, the White House won’t have their flimsy excuse to shut down SNAP in January because that program will be funded through September.

If the Speaker feels this way, the appropriate response is to draft a bill and argue for it in Congress, where he works. If he wins over enough legislators, he can pass the bill into law. Instead, he has taken a 6 week vacation while the President has illegally shut down a program Congress created!

SNAP needs $8 billion in November. The contingency fund has an estimated $5-6 billion in it. Not enough. But USDA has another $23 billion in transferable money in its School Meals account. I’d estimate SNAP could be funded for 3-4 months in this way. Depending on various burn rates.

If the President wants the government to reopen, he should sit down and negotiate with Democrats! He should not starve his own people!
