The GOP Continues Their War On The Poor & Elderly, Passes Bill To Gut Food Assistance

[Vox]

Going back to 2008 levels and funding work programs = fair.

Agree?

going back to spending level of 2008 - in EVERYTHING

 

[Political Junky]

Here we go again with the right wingers declaring war on those that are most at need, but won't touch a penny to get their corporate cronies to pay their fair share,..

Yes, twice as much welfare goes to corporations than to the poor.

 

[Vox]

Only a lying assed liberal would call a less than 5% reduction gutting a program. I really don't know how you can get up in the morning with a screwed up mind like yours.

a lying libatrd does not think. a lying libtard parrots the talking points.

some might have never even noticed it is 5%

The good news is in 2008 infrastructure was getting more

Trim back to 2008 and put the 2009-2013 doubling into education

Why aren't people more interested in finding a way to get people jobs and off food stamps?

Ask the GOP. They haven't lifted a finger to help the jobless.

I disagree. Defunding Obamacare is a definite winner for the jobless (and everyone else).

If they waged the war in Iraq the with the vigor that they go after women, the elderly and the poor, the Iraq War may not have been the flop and failure that is was.

If a political party went after women with the vigor that Hillary's "bimbo eruption squad" went after women and by chance the media was honest, the Clintons would have been run out of town long before they could do the damage they did. If the media was honest, the Iraq War would be celebrated as the victory that it was.

 

[Gracie]

How about we just cut off all benefits to illegals and their children? Then we have plenty left for the elderly.

This ^

Funny, you are far from being in need, BL. Not poor, starving, or needy. You have all you need to live and survive, yet when it boils down to it, you don't care about pity, you care about politics. The less fortunate are nothing but political pawns in a political game, a weapon to slay your enemies with.

If you truly cared about them, you would get those who are able bodied a job. If there is a true breadwinner in every family, no telling how well that family might prosper. But alas, you whine about them losing their welfare checks, which come to think of it, does nothing to ensure their welfare. Food stamps? Sure, if they had a job, the could buy the food with their own money instead of my tax dollars.

You disgust me.

Yes they can.

For decades the U.S. government has knowingly given illegal immigrants food stamps, according to a former certification case worker who denounced the costly practice back in the 1980s but was essentially ordered to keep a lid on it.

The retired assistant case manager, Craig McNees, was in charge of vetting food-stamp applicants in north Florida and Indiana in the ’80s and says the program was infested with fraud and corruption that was perpetually ignored by management. “Illegals would come in by the vanload and we were told to give them their stuff,” McNees said. “Management knew very well they were illegal. It was so rampant that some employees would tell their illegal relatives to come get food stamps.”

So says one douchebag. It's against federal law.

Yet it happens still. Screw the law apparently.

Have a seat, troll. Your thread is dead.

so when clinton did the same you complained too right?



they are only cutting obama's increases from clinton era levels

Clinton was last in office 13 yrs ago. What do you think has happened to the price of food since then?

wait...i thought the economy was doing better....

you dems can't keep your stories straight...we don't need to remain at such high levels...clinton cut it and the economy still did well, we should do so now

Cut the welfare spending. Then all those welfare queens can go to jail when they steal instead of using food stamps. Then we can pay $35,000 per year to take care of them rather than the pittance we spend on them now.

The economy is doing better.

It would be doing a lot better, however, if it weren’t for House republican obstructionism.

And the irony is it’s the obstructionism by the partisan right that contributes to slow job growth, and the need for more citizens to be on food stamps.

Now those same republicans want to cut the program the need for conservatives helped create.

 

[Steven_R]

I thought dissent was patriotic and that Congress obstructing the whims of the president was their job and that they weren't just a rubber stamp for what the White House wanted. . I could have sworn I heard that once or twice in 2007 and 2008.

Bullshit. Corporations who used Obamacare as an excuse to cut employee benefits would keep those cuts in place if Obamacare was somehow repealed. Because they're greedy sacks of shit who only care about their profit. But Obamacare isn't going to be repealed or defunded. The House and the Tea Party are fucking delusional if they think the Senate or Obama are going to play their game. Let them shut down the gov't over it. They may as well resign if they do it, because they'll be out of a job come 2014.

Have you ever run a corporation before? How do you know what their tendencies are? It may not be repealed or defunded, but just about everyone it covers will ask for an exemption. So essentially that has the same effect.

Correct.

The tiny, non-representative percentage of corporations making health coverage changes for their employees are using the ACA as a lame and transparent excuse to maximize profit at the expense of their workers.

What 'same' thing?

The food stamp program was separated from the farm bill. They've been part of the same bill for four decades..

Clinton reformed welfare. And in a good way.

He put a time limit on, but gave states block grants to retrain displaced workers.

Worked like gang busters.
