What Are The Chances Of A Food Stamp Collapse In November?​

The US government spends over $100 billion on SNAP programs every year; the largest single food welfare project in the world. It's difficult to predict what an end to SNAP might look like.
Food banks offer short term relief, though, these programs can be easily overwhelmed in the event of a broad cancellation of EBT.
In 2025 around 42 million people have tapped into federal SNAP benefits, which amounts to 12% of the population. More than enough people to create chaos should they be politically weaponized to do so. But what are the chances of food stamps actually being canceled?
The longest federal shutdown in history occurred in 2018-2019. It lasted 35 days and food stamps continued to remain available through the duration of the political standoff. That said, around half of the staff of the USDA was on furlough which led to delays in new applications and renewals. A shutdown would have to run for a substantial length of time beyond the record for SNAP benefits to completely vanish, right?
It really depends on Democrats. A number of economists are warning that the nation’s largest "anti-hunger program" has a contingency fund of about $6 billion, but November benefits are expected to total around $8 billion. The USDA’s shutdown plan noted that funding is available in the event of a lapse, but if the current conditions hold, SNAP would ostensibly run out of cash in early November.

What It Will Take to Get U.S. Citizens to Work the Farm — According to Dolores Huerta​

With ICE officers chasing undocumented immigrants through fields and barging into meatpacking plants, workers are spooked. Even before the farm raids, workforce shortages and economic uncertainty rankled the industry. Now, as harvest season arrives for many crops, concerns are growing that there may not be enough workers out there to feed the country.

I don’t see this happening. Someone will cave. If snap is shutdown there will be political hell to pay. Both sides have many constituents on these programs. I sisp ct state like ny and ca will cover the program in the short term to gain some political love if it happens. It will be interesting as usual

Things will get real interesting in a hurry when people miss a couple meals.

It's not the governments job to feed people.

I hope this goes on long enough that the funding for reopening the government runs out.

This would be nothing but freaking awesome.

If the Free Shit Army loses their SNAP benefits, they're going to lose their shit!

Sure am glad I don't live in or near a populated area where there could be a bunch of hungry fat asses looking to steal food.

Prepare to read about the Walmart's and convenience stores being looted on a mass scale.
The stores will be damaged and the shelves will be empty.

The trucks delivering/resupplying food to the looted stores will have to have armed security, as the animals will target the food delivery trucks.

The stores might even have to close and board up the windows.

I don't know what's going to happen, I'm just speculating.
It will be interesting to see what comes of this.



As always, there's never a bad time to top off your preps.
Don't forget to include pet supplies, if applicable.

On a side note.

Just in case.

Maybe it would be a good idea to get the necessary stuff for Thanksgiving dinner a little ahead of time this year.

IDK. I just thought I'd mention it.
