WASHINGTON (AP) — The Trump administration says benefits under the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, also known as food stamps, will be funded through February should the government shutdown continue.

Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue is asking states to issue the February benefits on or before Jan. 20 so that they can be paid to the nearly 40 million Americans in the program. SNAP is already fully funded for January.
======================================================
Those 40M Americans I'm sure will be pleased about this when they vote BLUE in 2020.

Most of those would be voting blue anyway - it's called buying votes.

Yeah, most welfare is in Democratic areas. Poor Republicans line up with illegal Mexicans outside Home Depot hoping for $5/hr. so they don't have to get government assistance.
