WASHINGTON, Sept 26 ― US President Joe Biden and one of his top aides warned yesterday that a federal government shutdown could cause widespread suffering, including a rapid loss of food benefits for nearly seven million low-income women and children.
He said he and House Speaker Kevin McCarthy had agreed a few months ago on spending levels for the government. Asked if he had spoken with McCarthy, Biden said, “I haven't.” He shook his head when asked when they would speak. More than 40 million Americans relied on SNAP to make ends meet in 2022; inflation has put new pressure on household budgets, with prices higher since the Covid-19 pandemic for goods from bread to fresh vegetables and baby formula.
