"You Will Be Shocked by What
They Have in Store for Us"
"You will be shocked by what they have in store for us. Starting in September 2026, a series of events will unfold across this country that most Americans have no idea are coming. SNAP funding is only confirmed through September 30 and 3.5 million people have already lost benefits from new work requirements. The Social Security COLA announcement arrives in October and the projected 2.5 to 3 percent increase will not cover the 4.2 percent inflation that retirees are actually experiencing. States must implement Medicaid work requirements by December 31 and most are nowhere near ready. The CBO projects 5 million will lose health insurance. Bird flu fall migration begins in September and the flyways pass directly over Iowa, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Minnesota, the top egg and poultry states. Another government shutdown is possible at the fiscal year transition on September 30.
The 2025 shutdown lasted 43 days and halted SNAP payments. USDA harvest reports in September and October will confirm the worst crop year in decades with wheat at a 50-year low and corn and soybeans under drought stress. Medicare open enrollment starts October 15 after 2.9 million seniors were forced off their plans. The student loan system overhaul launches into a Department of Education that has been gutted. Midterm elections in November will paralyze the institutions that are supposed to respond. And the homeowner's insurance market is collapsing heading into peak hurricane season. Ten converging crises in one 90-day window on a consumer with a 2.6 percent savings rate. It begins in September."
