The Evil Men Do

These people keep inflicting harm after harm on the nation:
On a party-line vote, a Republican-run U.S. House of Representatives committee voted to cut food stamps by $844 million on Friday, just hours after a new government report showed more Americans are struggling to put food on the table.
About 300,000 Americans would lose benefits due to tighter eligibility rules for food stamps, the major U.S. antihunger program, under the House plan. The cuts would be part of $3.7 billion pared from Agriculture Department programs over five years as part of government-wide spending reductions.
“This is not a giveaway program that results in windfall profits,” said North Carolina Democrat G.K. Butterfield in opposing the cuts. “That is not moral. That is not American.”
Antihunger activists said hunger rates were up for the fifth year in a row, so the cuts were a mistake.
“It is hard to imagine any congressional action that is more detached from reality,” said James Weill of the Food Research and Action Center.
“Cutting food stamps now is a scandal,” said David Beckman of Bread for the World, pointing to losses from hurricanes.
Approved 25-20, the committee package now will become part of an omnibus budget-cutting bill.
Well, it’s OK as long as Denny Hastert, Henry Hyde and Rush Limbaugh remain well-fed.
I guess the powers that be want a revolution. The powers that be kept us well feed and entertained with tv and videogames. You could and did get away with alot. But when people’s children are hungry its different. It is also wrong and immoral. But thats right , your the same group that thinks torture is ok!
This is Calvinism in action.
Being poor is the result of low morals and sinful living.
Such people are going to hell anyway. Let ‘em lose some weight before they go.
Give that $844 million to some Good people.
Good n’ rich.
fuckers
