from Learn French with daily podcasts

OK, alors, on fait le point sur la crise du financement du programme d'aide alimentaire SNAP aux États-Unis. OK, so, we take stock of the funding crisis for the SNAP food assistance program in the United States.Alors, le truc c'est que le programme SNAP, vous savez, les Food Stamps, et bien près de 42 millions d'Américains pourraient ne plus les recevoir dès le 1er novembre. So, the thing is that the SNAP program, you know, Food Stamps, well nearly 42 million Americans might no longer receive them starting November 1st.Pourquoi ? Parce que le Congrès est bloqué sur le budget, il n'a pas validé les fonds. Why? Because Congress is deadlocked on the budget, it hasn't approved the funds.Et ça, même s'il y a des milliards de dollars de côté, en réserve pour les urgences. And that's even though there are billions of dollars set aside, in reserve for emergencies.D'un côté, vous avez le ministère de l'Agriculture qui dit : « Non, non, on ne peut pas toucher aux 5 milliards de réserves sans le feu vert du Congrès. » On one side, you have the Department of Agriculture which says: "No, no, we cannot touch the 5 billion in reserves without the green light from Congress."Mais de l'autre, il y a la juge Indira Talwani qui, elle, n'est pas d'accord du tout. But on the other, there is Judge Indira Talwani who, she, does not agree at all.Pour elle, cet argent, il est là justement pour ce genre de situation. For her, this money is there precisely for this kind of situation.Et puis elle rappelle que la loi prévoit de réduire l'aide si besoin, pas de tout couper. And then she reminds that the law provides for reducing aid if necessary, not cutting everything off.Deuxièmement, les États ne restent pas les bras croisés. Secondly, the States are not standing idly by.25 États plus Washington DC attaquent carrément le gouvernement fédéral en justice. 25 States plus Washington DC are outright suing the federal government.Ce qu'ils disent, c'est simple : l'USDA [United States Department of Agriculture] a les moyens de payer les aides de novembre avec les réserves et refuser de le faire met en danger des millions de foyers. What they are saying is simple: the USDA [United States Department of Agriculture] has the means to pay the November aid with the reserves and refusing to do so endangers millions of households.Et enfin, troisièmement, la position de l'administration Trump. And finally, thirdly, the position of the Trump administration.Eux, ils campent sur leur position, il faut l'accord du Congrès, point final. They are sticking to their position, Congress's agreement is needed, period. Hébergé par Acast. Visitez acast.com/privacy pour plus d'informations.
