WASHINGTON / LONDON (IT BOLTWISE) – Amid the ongoing budget impasse in the United States, there is a glimmer of hope, at least for soldiers. Vice President JD Vance has announced that despite the blockade, the armed forces can continue to be paid for the time being. But for millions of Americans who rely on federal food assistance, the future remains uncertain.

The current budget impasse in the United States has far-reaching implications, affecting not only the government but also the population. While soldiers continue to be paid thanks to the efforts of US Vice President JD Vance, millions of Americans face an uncertain future. Vance stressed after a meeting with Republican members of Congress that the armed forces’ salaries are secure, while other government employees may not enjoy the same security.
US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent also expressed confidence that the military can be paid in the coming days, but only until mid-November. After that, the situation could become critical, which he described as an “embarrassment.” The current shutdown is the second longest in US history and has already lasted four weeks. The parties in Congress blame each other for the deadlock without having reached an agreement on an interim budget.
Around 42 million people are particularly affected by the blockade and could lose their state food aid on November 1st. This particularly affects low-income families, single parents and older people who rely on the monthly benefits of the Snap program. The uncertainty about the continuation of this aid is causing great concern among the population.
In a notable move, the Pentagon recently accepted an anonymous $130 million donation to support soldiers during the shutdown. US President Donald Trump reported that a personal friend had promised this financial support to close the gap in the military. But critics argue that funding soldiers through private donations is unusual and potentially illegal. In addition, the amount donated is barely enough to cover salary costs for the first two weeks of November, which amount to around $6.5 billion.
