Let's put politics aside, as if that were possible, and look at how the craziness of the last few days is affecting people.A week ago, President Donald Trump announced that the 42 million Americans on the SNAP nutrition program would not be getting their benefits — this against the backdrop of a government shutdown that has now reached its 40th day.This against the backdrop of millions of federal workers who have not been paid while the shutdown drags on — and many of whom live paycheck to paycheck.This against the backdrop of Trump throwing a lavish, Great Gatsby-themed Mar-a-Lago bash
