Today's radical left is among the most ignorant and restrictive political factions in history maybe second only to Stalinists and Nazis. You almost gotta laugh that they have a left wing propaganda network dedicated to cherry picking conservative speech and they still can't get it right. If it means supporting Barry Hussein they will support any and every stupid federal program and refuse to address problems in programs that need work. When a republican suggests that some federal programs might be redundant and need refinement the left uses school yard insults like "stuped and poopy" after they look up the word redundant.
Some people ignore the ole' "cause and effect".
The "cause" is flat wages that has been going on for the last few decades and the "effect" is greatly reduced expendable income, thus the need for government assistance.
I don't like the concept of the growing participants on Food Stamps just as much as our conservative posters. Trouble is these folks love to point the finger at the wrong source. The ever growing working poor didn't create their situation. They don't determine wages, they wish they could but they don't.
