House GOPers: Cut Food Stamps by $844 Million

Reuters: On a party-line vote, a Repub-run House of Reps committee voted to cut food stamps by $844 million on Friday, just hrs after a new govt report showed more Americans are struggling to put food on the table. How do these soul-less bastards sleep at night? I'm for real... how can they push the agenda to make Roe illegal YET at the same time cut the program that allows poor people to EAT??? Psst... guess what ya diabolical freaks... unborn babies grow up to become kids who need to eat.1) More than 37 million people live at/ below poverty level. 2) 37.5% of all babies are born to unwed mothers. 3) Kids under age 18 make up 25% of our US population. Of that 25% kid population, 18% lives at or below poverty level. 4)The US infant mortality rate is ranked 36 out of 208 nations. Choke on those FACTS and still try to justify cutting food stamps and every other social program. So how much does $844 million stack up against the unnecessary and no-end-in-sight Iraqmire? 68.5 hrs. That's right. Hundreds of thousands of Americans may face uncertain hunger for themselves and families so King George the Inept can play Middle-East Risk for another 68 hrs. NC Dem GK Butterfield said this about cuts: "That is not moral. That is not American." It isn't moral nor American, but we must take from the poor to give to Bush's war... and to the bloated corporations & wealthy.
