Message Subject GOP bill to cut 40 Billion dollars in FOOD STAMPS!

It's a very simple formula, anyone that needs food stamps is arguing for them and people who don't yet are against them. When a person who doesn't becomes a person who does, his position will change like the weather...etc.

Maybe the shallow people you hang around with, but not everybody. Some people still have things called "principles".

When the last company I worked for went bust, they gave me a form I could use to apply for unemployment. I framed it, hung it on my wall, then started my own business. Never took one cent from the government.

The implied warrant in your statement is that people who are in favor of reducing the food stamp program by this minuscule amount ($4 billion per year out of $83 billion)want to cancel it. That is nonsense. If people really need it they should have it.

However, when more than 100 million people receive government food assistance, a number greater than the total number of full-time private sector workers in the US, it becomes pretty clear that the government's priorities need to shift from creating dependency to creating jobs.

And how many of those 100 million people are the working poor? Why don't we just cut the whole program and save that $85 billion a year for something else...etc.

Are you really this stupid, or did you not reach the 4th grade reading level yet?

Try reading this over and over again until you understand it:

"If people really need it they should have it."

Republicans are calling for a cut of $4 billion per year out of a budget of $83 billion.

Or, if you prefer this in libtard propaganda numbers, they are proposing to cut $40 billion out of a program projected to cost $830 billion.

Any way you cut it, the cut is about 4.8%.

Even in the single-celled brain of the most intelligent libtard, that is nothing resembling "cutting the whole program".
