GOP cuts food stamps for nearly a million veterans, say HAPPY VETERAN'S DAY!

[rdean]

About 900,000 veterans and 5,000 active duty troops face cuts in their food stamp benefits beginning Thursday as $5 billion is automatically trimmed from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) program for low-income families.

The SNAP program received a boost under the 2009 Recovery Act, or stimulus bill (thank Obama) aimed at lifting the nation out of recession, but that temporary increase will expire Thursday as Congress continues to debate a new farm bill which would separate farm subsidies from food stamp benefits.

That would be the 900,000 veterans who offered up their lives for their country only to return home to find employment exceedingly difficult to come by—thereby creating the need for food stamps to provide for their families.

Senators from Iowa split on Veterans Jobs Corps Act - News and Weather For The Quad Cities -

Iowa's two senators were split this week on the Veterans Jobs Corps Act. Senator Tom Harkin (D) voted for it; Senator Chuck Grassley (R) voted against it. Senator Dick Durbin (D) of Illinois voted in support of the Act, while Illinois' Republican Senator, Mark Kirk, did not vote.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Senate Republicans blocked legislation Wednesday that would have established a $1 billion jobs program putting veterans back to work tending to the country's federal lands and bolstering local police and fire departments.

How do USMB Republicans keep insisting it is "they" who support the veterans? The question is how much longer they can fool these brave men and women.

We sould not have the United States without our military. They give, sometimes their lives, and they get shit in return.

Right or left, Dem or Repub - if they vote against our vets, vote them out of office.

I don't get how Republicans are able to gin up such support when all of their policies are "failed" policies.

Food stamps negate the natural laws of survival of the fittest.

As evidence by the number of liberals still living in their Mommy's basement and hammering their thrift-store 286's.

You know that Red States live off the tit of the Blue State. How do you explain that?

So you are saying that disabled veterans should just "die" because they are no longer "fit"???

It sounds very right wing.

 

[whitehall]

Forty years ago democrat party activists were spitting on Veterans. The Obama administration doesn't seem in any hurry to stimulate the economy so that Veterans might get a decent job. The whiny radical left doesn't give a shit about Veterans except to try to use them as political tools.

An E2 mkes:

$1699.80 a month Basic pay

Then if they are married and living off base they get BAH which is designed so that they only have about $100 out of pocket for their rent.

Then there is BAS another $352.70 per month.

You think a young private can't live on that?

Shit my first take home pay was $111.....

And as an E4 with 2 kids I didn't draw Food Stamps though they said we could.....Of course after Ronnie's raise we were no longer qualified....

 

[SFC Ollie]

Tell us Deano are you willing to admit that you've screwed up the economy so bad that it has to be treated like the great Depression?


From your link:


Supporters loosely modeled their proposal after the President Franklin Delano Roosevelt's Civilian Conservation Corps used during the Great Depression to put people to work planting trees, building parks and constructing dams.

Every single rw will tell you all about how they "support our troops" but when comes time to actually give them a hand up, a little help when they get home, THIS is the shit we get from them.

While this asshole sat in front of his TV, real men, REAL AMERICANS were serving their country. They "survived" that but the fucking useless R's do not want them to survive coming "home".

Every 65 minutes, a veteran commits suicide.

I would gladly trade every slime bucket lazy ass bum LYING right winger for those REAL AMERICANS.

Well sure.

That's because they actually DO support our troops and our vets whereas the right just gives this issue lip service. Come to think of it, that's all the right ever does - period.

Lousy scum rw's vote against every single thing that could and would help our vets get a start when they get home.

Seriously- we have to get rid of the god damned right. They are leeches who do nothing to help this country. They take and take and take and give nothing back.

Ship the whole bunch of worthless LYING slime buckets to Russia so they can worship Putin.

 

[whitehall]

Harry Truman coined the phrase "the buck stops here" but he didn't mean it anymore than Barry Hussein does today. When are radical lefties going to stop whining about only controlling 2/3 of the federal government?

Obama would rather give them to Illegals. Didn't he have that advertising campaign going on in Mexico for a time?

Yep...

Obama administration openly pushing food stamps to illegals; no citizenship required, no income status checked


NaturalNews) Documents obtained through the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) reveal the Obama administration is actively marketing the federal food stamp program (SNAP) to illegal immigrants. A Spanish-language flyer obtainer by Judicial Watch says, "You need not divulge information regarding your immigration status in seeking this benefit for your children."

A copy of the document is viewable by clicking here.

"USDA is actively working with the Mexican government to promote food stamps for illegal aliens," said Judicial Watch president Tom Fitton.

Although it's far worse now, this has been going on for years. Back in 2006, Judicial Watch wrote in its Corruption Chronicles: "The United States Department of Agriculture is spending taxpayer money to run Spanish-language television ads encouraging illegal immigrants to apply for government-financed food stamps."

Nearly $75 billion of taxpayer money is spent each year on federal food stamps, and it turns out some of that is alarmingly being handed out to illegal immigrants -- people who contribute nothing to the federal tax base in America but who seem to be experts on collecting social welfare benefits of all kinds. If you are working for a living, you are buying food for illegals who are being actively recruited by Obama and the democratic party so that they will vote more democrats into office.
