The U.S. government's suspension of SNAP funding raises concerns about people's livelihoods.

The U.S. government announced that starting November 1, it will stop using $5 billion from the reserve fund to maintain Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits. SNAP is a federal food assistance program for low-income families in the United States, with one in eight Americans purchasing food through the SNAP program. If SNAP is stopped, many Americans' lives will fall into difficulty. The U.S. Department of Agriculture explained, "The funding source for the program has been exhausted, which should send a signal to the Democrats." At the same time, U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced that the U.S. economy is slowing down, and he also blamed the Democrats, stating, "The actions of Democratic senators are a disgrace globally." Now, the two major political parties in the United States are fighting fiercely, and the government shutdown continues.
