Conservatives Rejoice: Food Stamps Are Cut!

Cuts in the SNAP program could affect families.

And who says the Republicans care about the American people?

I remember that pompous asshole Newt Gingrich was at the Republican presidential debates saying that President Barack Obama is the "food stamp president".

Why?

Because he wants to help the middle class and the poor eat food.

Yeah, that portion of the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act that advocated benefits to the Supplemental Nutrient Assistance Program is expired.

A family of four who earns less than $15,000 a year will receive a decrease in benefits.

Who knows what could happen in the coming weeks?

You know why most people vote against levies for schools and libraries?

It's because it raises the revenue on a taxpayer's property. Most state governments with Republican lawmakers cut financial aid to education and safety. And they believe that public school are indoctrinating young minds into becoming criminals. So they push for charter schools and prayer in school so they can force children.

Did you know that the SNAP program aids in feeding schoolchildren who are poor?

You probably didn't know. The racist right is so obsessed with the notion that 47 million Americans (I am guessing children) are on food stamps. They rejoicing over food stamps being cut.

Some asshole Republican congressman from Indiana is pushing for deep cuts to the food stamp program.

Congressman Marlin Stutzman (R-Indiana) presented a bill that was passed by the House. It's not likely to get through the Senate. The president threatened a veto if it was to be passed.

Yo, Obama dissed us! So we gonna diss his core base! - Congressman Marlin Stutzman (R-Indiana)
The Indiana politico was on the news saying that "he wasn't going to be disrespected" by President Barack Obama. He and many of his fellow Tea Party lawmakers believe the key to growing an economy is austerity cuts. What Republicans want is basically separate the food stamp program away from a farm bill.

With the rising food and gas prices, people are turning to food stamps, food banks and government assistance to keep themselves from landing in the homeless shelter.

Without a safety net, these people will rob and kill those who have the luxuries of having food in the refrigerator or in the pantry. They would steal fuel, water, bread and meat to keep feeding their families. And yet, these Republicans and their conservative allies are thinking the poor are the reasons for the economic recession. Perhaps those who complain about the poor, should walk a day in that person's shoes!

The Republican Party and its allies in the conservative movement are heartless when it comes to the lower and middle class. In their warped minds, the lower class and those who are too poor are stealing from the taxpayers by accepting food stamps, welfare and necessaries.
