"The next appropriation bill must undo the cuts that require states to pay a share of SNAP food benefit costs, shifting many millions of dollars in annual costs to California. California cannot be expected to cover federal disinvestment in a national nutrition program. This devastating cost shift would create impossible choices for California state and municipal bodies to fund critical services. Which programs will be cut: SNAP, housing, health care, early childhood education?"
"Donald Trump has grandiose plans for Venezuela, including rebuilding their oil infrastructure and increasing oil exports exponentially. He will handle the windfall profits himself and use the proceeds to "make Venezuela great again," his words, and reimburse America. I think that American oil companies would be crazy to follow Trump's advice and invest billions of dollars rebuilding Venezuela's oil infrastructure. Trump is a dishonest person. I doubt if he would treat Venezuela's money fairly."
When the shutdown ended, SNAP was reinstated only through Jan. 30. The next appropriation bill must remove cuts that force states to share SNAP food benefit costs, which would shift many millions annually to California. California cannot be expected to cover federal disinvestment in a national nutrition program. The cost shift would force state and municipal governments to choose between cutting SNAP and other services such as housing, health care, and early childhood education. Fast congressional action is necessary to eliminate or delay the provision until 2030. American oil companies are advised to avoid investing in Venezuela’s oil sector due to political risk and potential misappropriation of profits.
