Government Shutdown Spurs Cuts to SNAP Benefits Affecting Millions of Veterans and Workers
Understand the immediate financial devastation facing 42 million Americans due to halted SNAP benefits and learn how federal unions are challenging aggressive administrative cuts to worker protections during the ongoing government shutdown.
Short Summary
- The refusal to fund essential programs jeopardizes food aid for over 1 million veterans and 42 million Americans, intensifying financial distress.
- Key federal employees, including essential TSA and VA staff (many of whom are veterans), struggle to work without paychecks, risking public services.
- The AFGE reports that the Trump administration is actively trying to illegally furlough union members and dismantle key collective bargaining rights, especially at the VA.
- The host forcefully criticizes the current Republican Congress for inaction, labeling them the "Doormat Republican Congress" for permitting these executive overreaches.
- This interview provides crucial context on the on-the-ground reality of the shutdown and the union's multi-front legal defense strategy.
This program addresses the severe socioeconomic fallout from the current government shutdown, focusing heavily on the suspension of SNAP benefits leading up to Veterans Day. Host Fred Wellman interviews Everett Kelley, President of the American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE), who details the crisis facing federal workers, the reliance of veterans on these safety nets, and recent hostile administrative actions against organized labor within federal agencies.

Thank you for covering this critical need for food assistance. Trump's administration is sadistic and full of greed.
He loathes the poor, it stems from his father.
I emailed my gop rep and told him since he was on an extended vacation and has turned most of his responsibilities over to the old orange guy he should resign. Isn't collecting money from government and not working for it what the gop accuse people of? I don't see any diference. He is even getting paid during the shutdown. I bet if we cut off their pay, they would start the government back up.
Im 70 years old, and I only get 75.00 a month . We all know that you cant buy much food with that .It's a supplement that helps seniors ,veterans and children ,families. The minimum wage hasn't been adjusted for over 20 years , so it a no brainer that so many people are struggling. Housing alone has tripled, and same with gas ,utilities and groceries
Snap hasn’t been enough for decades!!! The rent has been high for decades!! America is a hard place to live with dignity!!
This is shameful ,our vets😢wish I was rich.
I appreciate you Fred
There are mothers in Africa scolding their children to finish their plates saying "There are children starving in America who have no food tonight!"
November 11th should be the day for all Veterans to organize rallies. The majority of Americans would be behind them supporting them every step of the way across America. It boggles my mind why there are not more organized rallies, especially on this day to honor all those that fought and are still fighting for our freedoms.
The richest country in the world can feed prisoners 3 meals a day; but will let children go hungry.
