Anonymous Coward User ID: 35410860 United States 01/09/2014 07:31 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Doctors Say Cutting Food Stamps Could Backfire Doctors are warning that if Congress cuts food stamps, the federal government could be socked with bigger health bills. Maybe not immediately, they say, but over time if the poor wind up in doctors' offices or hospitals as a result. Among the health risks of hunger are spiked rates of diabetes and developmental problems for young children down the road. [ link to www.wthitv.com] Yeah, and I'm sure the chips, candy, and soda they purchase with their food stamps now don't already contribute to diabetes. |

If you were given a raise, but it was not as high as you wanted. Would you say that your employer cut your salary?
Of course not, because you live in the real world. The government does not. |
