Everyone, PLEASE get this straight: Funding #SNAP has *NOTHING* to do with the federal government #shutdown. They are two entirely different issues. • The emergency funds to pay SNAP benefits are ALREADY IN the USDA's current, eexistingbudget. The $5 Billion is there, in the #USDA account, ready to be distributed to states. Trump and Republicans refuse to authorize it. Trump even removed the text from the #OMB and USDA websites that say so. • #Georgia is sitting on $21.5 Billion OF OUR tax dollars in surplus and rainy day funds. Gov. Kemp refuses to use any of it to pay for the 1.4 Million Georgians who rely on SNAP to feed their families. His excuse is that if we use tax money to help the people who paid the taxes, it will lead to a chain reaction of other Georgians expecting our state government to help them. What gall! Taxpayers expecting their taxes to benefit taxpayers! #SNAPBenefits #SNAPLife #SNAPTalk
