I saw on the news this morning that the House of Representatives passed a bill yesterday that would cut food stamp spending in order to reduce the deficit. THIS IS JUST REDICULOUS, THE ******S! Why don't they just blow ****ing trumphets and scream "SCREW THE PEOPLE WE CARE ABOUT MOOLAH!"
Congress is basically turning it's back on the very people who the government is supposed to serve. What are the low-income earners going to do now? The government already gives them barely enough food stamps to put food on the table at dinner time. I know this because we used to get food stamps until I got a raise, and I got barely enough to buy the bear necessities for the month, like milk, eggs, and bread! The internet was a free service from my phone company, so I don't have to pay for that (it was a "for a limited time" offer).
You get one service cut, you start to loose -- not cut, loose -- more. Pretty soon their going to be cutting social security and forcing seniors to make ends meet their own damn selves!
This is just abominable. Cut transportation spending, cut military funds (because God knows we hate this war). Hell, if it comes down to a last resort, RAISE TAXES! But PLEASE, don't cut any welfare programs. Too many people rely on them to make ends meet.
