政府停摆威胁SNAP福利
摘要
持续的政府停摆威胁着约4200万美国人的补充营养援助计划（SNAP）福利发放，因特朗普政府拒绝使用应急资金。
持续进入第二个月的联邦政府停摆，对补充营养援助计划（SNAP）构成重大威胁，可能影响约4200万依赖该计划获得食物援助的美国人。美国农业部（USDA）宣布，如果没有新的资金支持，SNAP福利将无法在11月1日发放。
特朗普政府表示，约50亿美元的应急资金不能用于继续发放SNAP福利，称这些资金仅预留用于自然灾害等紧急情况。这是该计划60年历史上首次因政府停摆而可能导致福利中断。
对此，由26个民主党领导的州和哥伦比亚特区组成的联盟对农业部提起诉讼，认为扣留应急资金违反联邦支出法律。纽约州总检察长莱蒂蒂娅·詹姆斯表示：“数百万美国人即将挨饿，因为联邦政府选择扣留其依法应提供的食物援助。”
停摆还导致全国食品银行需求激增。相关组织报告称，他们正准备应对需求激增，但无法完全弥补联邦援助可能的缺失。
民意调查显示，大部分美国人将政府停摆及SNAP福利可能中断的责任归咎于特朗普政府和国会共和党人。10月31日发布的ABC新闻-华盛顿邮报-Ipsos民调显示，45%的受访者责怪特朗普总统和国会共和党人，33%责怪国会民主党人。
随着停摆持续，SNAP福利的未来充满不确定性，数百万美国人面临潜在的粮食安全风险。
