House Republicans Cut Food Assistance For Low-Income Families While Protecting Azaleas « The Fifth Column
Ok, as a die-hard liberal, this sort of stuff really gets to me. Does anyone in the GOP have a heart or even a conscious?
The Huffington Post
If youre an azalea at the National Arboretum, youre in luck a Republican on the House Appropriations Committee is looking out for you. If youre a woman, infant or child, however, youre on your own.
Slipped into the FY 2012 agriculture appropriations bill that the House is expected to take up today is an unusual provision on page 13 requiring the National Arboretum to maintain a very specific portion of its azalea collection.
The Committee directs the National Arboretum to maintain its National Boxwood Collection and the Glenn Dale Hillside portion of the Azalea Collection, reads the bill. The Committee encourages the National Arboretum to work collaboratively with supporters of the National Arboretum to raise additional funds to ensure the long-term viability of these and other important collections.
While azaleas are being carefully tended to, the bill would cut $832 million from a program that provides food assistance to low-income mothers and children. The Center for Budget and Policy Priorities estimates that the reduction could result in as many as 475,000 people being turned away from the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) if food prices continue to rise.
I ain't "red", chiefy.
And nice try to deflect.
The self-styled Tea Party activists are perverse characters. They are stubborn, and, for the most part, stupid and small-minded. They have fixed opinions about everything (which, more often than not, are not right), and never change their mind about anything; for nothing can convince them that they are wrong. Their principal character traits are arrogance and intolerance. They are egocentric; they care not for the greater good, but only for themselves. Indeed, they would (if they could) have the world ordered to their own liking. They are greedy, stingy and meanspirited. They are inflexible; and, likewise, they never compromise, and always insist on having everything their way. There is no dealing with them. Such persons are stumbling blocks in the road of life, and are best avoided.
You are either a drooling imbecile or grossly misinformed.

or both
I didn't ask for spin. I asked for something that really matters. Expands unemployment benefits? How about creating jobs? All he has done is increase debt. Tax Credits? LMAO. He threw a pittance, even less than Bush had, and then cut funding to states so state taxes and passed on expenses more than ate up that pittance. No, I mean what has he really done that has actually helped the little guy?I'd like to know how the Obama admin has helped the little guy?

Right, the checks in the mail and you have integrity....
ROFL....
And nice try to deflect.
No deflection, sparky.
The instructions to the national arboretum are completely unrelated to the cuts in WIC assistance to illegal aliens.
There is no connection - just bullshit from the little Goebbels of the democratic party.

You know what, you might have a real point if Congress cut $832 million in assistance and turned around and used it to protect Azaleas. It appears from your post that they directed the arboretum to maintain a collection and to work with supporters to raise the funds to do so. Words......nothing more. I'm not sure how these two items got connected in the first place. Oh wait, yes I do........a faux outrage political agenda.
Hey..you're right. I am going to get checks in the mail.
Oh..and Illegal immigration went down during the Obama administration.

Naw..the bill uses the money it cut to provide yet more tax cuts for wealthy people.
Now that's a good use.
In a pigs eye.

What the fuck are you talking about. You asked a question..I provided you with several answers..and you moved the goal post.
And bear in mind..most of the crap that is slowing the economy down is coming from Republican obstructionism. They've said they wanted him to fail..and they are doing their darnest to make that dream a reality. From refusing stimulus money to actual BUILD things..to blocking every piece of legislation that comes down the pike.
It's an impossible situation..and yet..he's still trying to deal with it. Unlike someone like Palin who walked away.
Those are things you conservatives are good at..breaking stuff, complaining that it's broken and standing in the way of the fix.

Does it hurt being as stupid as you?
I mean actual, physical pain?
He posts some of the funniest stuff I ever read. He doesn't think it's funny, but trust me, its a scream!
Liberal/Statists enjoy playing with the lives of others when their own lives are in such disarray...We everyday WORKING citizens have had to cut back, pay higher prices, go Unemployed. But for Liberals, why the hell should someone on Guberment assistance have to do a damn thing but keep right on sucking us into BANKRUPTCY.
But hey, they can crow about how Republicans, Conservatives, the Tea Party are EVIL EVIL EVIL..
I am dismayed by the attitude of our Republican friends on the issue of the national debt in this period of recovery from the longest recession since the great depression. What sense is it to cut spending when that is precisely what is needed to stimulate the economy? And to extend tax cuts for the wealthy while cutting benefits for the needy makes no sense at all. It represents a view that is both selfish and shortsighted - an attitude so prevalent among our policymakers today. To put the blame for our improvident spending on Social Security and Medicare only begs the question of our priorities. What else is the purpose of government but to provide for such things? To cut spending on these seems unworthy of the greatest nation of the world.
Whenever I find myself looking narrowly at some social welfare program, I think of the Preamble to the Constitution, which always puts my views in proper perspective. It is We the People - not me, me, me. Need must it be so, for the true greatness of a nation, and its moral progress, is not measured by its wealth or power, but by the manner in which it provides for the welfare of its people.
