The Downfall of America: A Crisis of Social Supports

Examining the Consequences of Ending SNAP, Section 8, and Medicaid (Part I)

In recent years, the stability of America’s social safety net has become increasingly uncertain. Discussions around the discontinuation of vital programs such as SNAP Benefits, Section 8 housing assistance, and Medicaid for low-income families have sparked fears of widespread hardship and societal upheaval. These programs have long served as lifelines for millions of Americans struggling to make ends meet, and their removal could have devastating consequences for the nation as a whole.

The Impact Of Ending SNAP Benefits

The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) does provide food security for families living below the poverty line. Without this essential support, then an increase in hunger and malnutrition rates would likely surge, especially among children and the elderly.  


Some citizens who depend entirely on SNAP would face increased pressure on food banks and local charities, but these organizations may be unable to fill the gap left by such a sweeping policy change, which would make any Freestore Foodbank, Dollar Tree, Family Dollar your key components when navigating through this spiraling crisis. 

The Loss of Section 8 Housing Assistance


Section 8 housing vouchers enable low-income families to afford safe and stable homes. If this program were discontinued, many would face homelessness or be forced into unsafe living conditions.  In addition, I am an avid crusader for homeless, each December, in New York, and everyone who knows me, knows I walk the streets of Lower New York, giving out gloves, mittens, socks, compliments of the Dollar Store, and basic toiletries as the temperatures drop, and I have been doing that for years. 

Therefore, if you are not accustomed to that lifestyle, I would suggest you prepare your abode. Sadly, to say, the ripple effects would be felt in schools, some of those absent programs would hinder the progress of continuing to offer school kids free breakfast, if social funding is discontinued. 

The End Of Medicaid For The Poor

Medicaid provides critical health coverage for those who cannot afford private insurance. The elimination of Medicaid would leave millions without access to basic healthcare, resulting in untreated illnesses and an increased burden on emergency services. This, in turn, could lead to higher mortality rates and a public health crisis that would affect every aspect of American society. I remember being a Critical Care ER Truman Nurse, III, and every second of the day on a twelve hour shift, you see how the process of individuals who have  with no health insurance flood into ER to receive treatment, this is what terrifies  me, due in part, the ER will be become overwhelmed, staff burnout, toppled with Nursing staff shortage, and if so, you will begin to hear, we are full to capacity and the ER start refusing care, or turning patients away. I would think it's common sense any presiding president would come to understand this dire consequence. 


Are We On The Brink Of Armageddon


The prospect of ending social economic funding support, in my opinion these drastic unilateral cuts, raises the specter of a societal collapse. Without SNAP, Section 8, and Medicaid, I see on the horizon vulnerable populations, such as many African American citizens, being pushed further to the chaotic margins, and the wealthy inequality would skyrocket. This is the start to One World Order; I have advised the mass population in my past universal articles of laws in that do not assist the American people but would impede the economy and its citizens in the long run. You have two ruling government parties, yet it makes you think about who side is against or what side is for democracy for the American people.

Under the Democratic regime, we all had to roll up a sleeve and get a vaccination that was not approved by the FDA, and inoculated under the rouse of a manmade pandemic, and if you refused you were terminated, forced into early retirement or you simply had to resign. 


Years later, and a new Republic Administration, you have government proposed cuts, termination programs that have benefited the country for decades, safeguarded its people, how does a country stand on principles to survive, innovate, promotes if Freedom for all, when you have famine, war, and unscrupulous policies. Isn’t this how Hitler came into power, as I stated, it came on slowly, however, if you are not #AWOKE, you would have missed the universal signs, the star of David on your ID just to fly abroad, which to me, was the first step.

Then you must mentally hinder all these drastic cuts, which would only leave states to govern is own people, and if you reside in a state, primarily a Commonwealth state, it is best you know how to plant, invest, or barter, or invest in your talents that would be beneficial in promoting self to generate some form of income.

Sometimes when you take away key components of one’s ability to survive it would only make them stronger in other hidden or concealed gifts of coping mechanisms, hopefully, it would be to promote a great well-being, or service the needs to help stabilize.
