Bullshit.
The amount a needy parent collects is determined by the number of children.
If you had a valid point, why lie?
Millions could face severe cuts to food stamps

A knock out punch reply.
This is be very costly for the American people, long term. There have been various studies of the impact of nutrition assistance for the poor. As you'd expect (unless you're neck-deep in right-wing rhetoric), kids from poor families wind up as much more productive and less dependent adults if they get enough assistance to meet their nutritional needs, during their formative years, than if they're deprived.
Basically, the studies followed up on "natural experiments" where welfare benefits were rolled out at different times or to different degrees from one state to another. They compared like-situated poor kids, where some got assistance and others didn't. With nutrition being such an important factor in brain development and academic performance, the kids that got assistance were a lot more likely to grow up to be contributing members of society. The kids that didn't were a lot more likely to grow up to be mentally or physically disabled, criminal, or otherwise a burden on the rest of us.
So, if we cut costs in the short term by cutting food stamps, the long-term costs will be huge.
[h=1]Shutdown is costing farmers, says Farm Bureau official[/h]
Farmers are losing payments from the government meant to help them during the trade fight with China because of the government shutdown, a top official with the American Farm Bureau Federation said Monday.
..................................
“We’ve seen a pretty large impact for some producers, that’s where we saw some of the market facilitation payments that are currently delayed because of the government shutdown,” the official, Andrew Walmsley, told Hill.TV's Krystal Ball and Buck Sexton on "Rising."
.......................
The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) in December launched its second and final round of trade mitigation payments, but Walmsley, director of congressional relations for the Farm Bureau, says that relief has since temporarily halted due to the budget impasse.
...............
“It’s slowing down implementation of the Farm Bill right now because USDA employees aren’t able to work, so something we would like to see folks probably get back to work here pretty soon in Washington,” Walmsley told Hill.TV.......................

Well, perhaps Trump could cut them a personal check!!
Believe me churches will step up!
They will, but churches can not do it all and have always appealed to governments for help. They will be supporting opening the government.
Nonsense, welfare was through the church, until leftist politicians understood the value of the bought vote!
Soldiers are fed, soldiers are clothed, soldiers are housed, soldiers are paid. So are airmen and sailors.
Who told you that, imbecile?
Ask her to prove her claims. It should be hilarious.
You could, if you cared, but since you don't, you won't.
So you say.
That’s another Republican myth.
It is, imbecile?
You'll pay what the IRS says you'll pay.
