[quote:Resister:MV8yMzU4OTQyXzQwMzE1MzEyXzI2OTMxQzRB] [quote:Anonymous Coward 47107726:MV8yMzU4OTQyXzQwMzE1MDEyXzI0RDVBMjEz] First, liberal propaganda debunk: The stated amount of the [b][i]proposed [/i][/b]cut is the sum over a 10-year period, meaning the [b][i]proposed [/i][/b]cut is $4 billion out of $83 billion, or around 5%. The food stamp program was [b][i]$40 billion per year[/i][/b] smaller in 2008, and I don't seem to remember millions of people starving in the streets back then. Are we now supposed to believe that cutting the program from $83 billion to $80 billion will have any real negative effect on anyone? Doesn't the Democrat response to this [b][i]proposed [/i][/b]cut sorta raise a question about the supposed "economic recovery" being touted in the LMSM? If the economy was actually recovering, shouldn't we expect fewer and fewer people to need assistance? To me, it is a direct admission that the Democrats know damn well that their economic agenda has failed, kinda like Bernanke announcing that he was "just kidding" about tapering QE. That was a [b][i]REAL [/i][/b]doozy: QE hasn't worked, so we can't stop it now. Only a liberal could use that sort pretzel logic. And always does. [/quote] so good it needs to be repeated [/quote]
