The Shutdown Reveals a Safety Net “Woven Together with Barbed Wire”
Even though a federal judge ordered the government to tap into emergency funds to keep SNAP benefits flowing, 42 million Americans, including 3.5 million Texans, are still in limbo because those funds won’t even cover a full month. And as long as the shutdown continues, so will the fear. In this episode of Y’all-itics, the COO at Metrocrest Services explains how the shutdown revealed a fragile safety net “woven together with barbed wire.” And a couple of lawmakers explain how the shutdown is hurting Texans. WFAA Senior Reporter & Anchor, Teresa Woodard, is the guest host this week for both Jasons.
GUESTS
Calvin Moore, Metrocrest Services COO
Congresswoman Beth Van Duyne, R-24th District
State Rep. Gene Wu, D-District 137
