Sick or disabled Americans can't work.
That makes it worse that Senate Democrats are subjecting them to this stress, fear and uncertainty for no other reason than political gain.
Democrats wouldn't be caught dead contributing their own money to anything like food banks and charities. They also can't be found sponsoring any criminal illegal aliens, either; there are about 20 of them for every criminal illegal alien, and of course many more for every homeless person, but these clowns are nowhere to be found helping any themselves, it's almost all Evul Xian Evangelical churches and old school liberals doing the lifting there.
We all know that nobody is going to starve. There won't be any stacks of skinny corpses. The "Program Administrators" will have more than enough socked away to live for decades. Do you remember the Dem Senator which bags of Cash in his freezer.

A few people might miss a few meals and lose 30 lbs, and that will generally be good for them. Especially when they have to "get a freak'n job!"
This thread is just a cheap attempt a guilt manipulation.
I won't accept a hair of the guilt trip.
I wish a bunch of the "program administrators" would starve to near death. I would make them search their own souls.

Data on charitable giving by political affiliation shows mixed patterns, but some trends emerge.
Studies, like those from the Chronicle of Philanthropy and the Indiana University Lilly Family School of Philanthropy, indicate Republicans tend to donate a higher percentage of their income to charity compared to Democrats.
For example, a 2018 Chronicle study found that Republican-leaning counties gave about 2.8% of income to charity, while Democrat-leaning counties gave around 1.9%.
This gap often ties to cultural factors: Republicans, particularly religious ones, are more likely to give to churches, which count as charitable donations.
About 50% of Republican giving goes to charitable religious institutions who help the poor, compared to 20% for Democrats, per Lilly School data.

Can't find what never existed, can you?
A whole bunch of "declared Disabled" are perfectly capable of working.
A whole bunch of people who should have been given disability, were denied just because of being White-Males.
It is legal and lauded to viciously discriminate against Working Class White Men.
We find a way to work, because we want to eat.

A lot more goes unrecorded; I volunteer with a lot of local churches doing all kinds of things, from taking disabled people to doctors appointments, to delivering hot meals, mowing yards, building wheelchair ramps, 'small' stuff that makes a major difference at a personal level. A few volunteers are old school hippie types, but most are conservatives and Christian volunteers, donating their own time as well as money.

Republicans donate more to churches? Who knew?

Maybe more Democrats do help the poor selflessly; but there's only anecdotal evidence to support such a premise, AFAIK.
That I personally know, at least a dozen.
Across the nation, probably fewer than the fraud voters, but not by much, and we will never know. When you tighten up the borders, or the voting, or the disability fraud... you'll never know how many would have violated the law, if you hadn't fixed the system.

I disagree that there are 'all these unfilled jobs n stuff out there', as the 'labor shortage' bullshit was never a real thing, but otherwise I agree with most of that. It's also a fact that many of these Federal admins are just patronage pretend jobs, though, and not designed to actually help anybody but certain racial demographics, also determined by political cronyism at the local level as well. The food stamp program is a great cash cow for Democrat vote buying, as just one example, so is Section 8 housing for another.

Democrats wanted that, brah. Otherwise the government would be funded.Two decades ago, Sara Carlson, then a mother of three, was newly single because of a traumatic event, and the US’s food stamp program, now called the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (Snap), helped her feed her children with free food supplies.
“I wouldn’t have been able to afford to live,” said Carlson, 45, who lives in Rochester, Minnesota, and now works as an operations manager for a wealth-management firm and serves on the board of Channel One Regional Food Bank, which works to increase food access.
While the food stamps helped her, the government cut her off after a couple years because she started making too much money, which meant she again had to worry about having enough food.
Now, nearly 42 million people around the country could face the same fate if the federal government shutdown continues and funding for Snap is cut off on 1 November.
Should funding run out at the end of the month, “we will have the greatest hunger catastrophe in America since the Great Depression, and I don’t say that as hyperbole”, said Joel Berg, CEO of Hunger Free America.
Snap supports working families with low-paying jobs, low-income people aged 60 years and older and people with disabilities living on a fixed income, according to the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities.
Snap participants generally must be at or below 130% of the federal poverty line. The average participant receives about $187 a month, the center reports.

Anecdotal evidence isn't always false, and it's also all you're going to get when the govt. has a vested interest in not collecting the data, just like with hate crime stats. It will of course be no mystery to those of us who do volunteer at the local levels.

So what? Neither is slanted data from ideological orgs and special interest groups, but you cite them a lot, probably without even knowing how the data is collected.
