Now the funny as hell part is that to offset these billions, they cut support to the poor, in fact some of it was direct food support. Is that a stroke of genius or what? Send farmers of corn, wheat, soybean, and rice money for just showing up alive at the bank, and take food off the table for the poor. You know, you have to wonder, couldn't those stupid 'f'ers have planned ahead a little and bought a farm of their own, then they wouldn't be in this situation. Some people just cant be helped. Well wasn't it in the bible, maybe Jesus said it, the rich will always be with us.
Oh, don't skimp on paying your tax, I'm pullin for ya. And buy more things that have high corn fructose syrup in it. This is a wonderful age we live in. All through history, only the rich were fat, the last 50 years everything changed, the better off people are more likely to be in good shape, now the poor are morbidly fat, is that great or what?

ReplyDeleteJust more of trickle up economics so favored by the Republicans.
I guess I should have stayed in Kansas. And bought a farm.
ReplyDeleteNext time!
Part to the cuts in the agriculture bill in the House also takes away subsistance help - food stamps, for America's elderly poor. I am saving my anger for next year - I shall be back in the 8th Congressional District and I will make myself known and heard.
ReplyDeleteYou know, my grandmother was getting food stamps....

Sarge Anonymous,
ReplyDeletePlease do make a stink. It is just cruel and greedy what is happening.
Pop,
ReplyDeleteMy wife takes care of that, she gives lots to Interfaith Ministries (a multi church group that does not exclude by religion), Lords Dinner (a big catholic run restaurant that does not charge anything, and has drawn the rath of Rush Limbaugh claiming it feeds freeloaders and undermines the community values, if you saw the people going there, you would not offer any criticism) to the City Library book fund, Nature Conservancy, and National Resources Defense Fund, to name the main ones.

ReplyDeleteYes and the bible says that the "meek shall inherit the Earth." Problem is what will be left to inherit?
I read this ethanol tax break thing today in the paper. Funny how none of the Republicans and the Dems that voted for it ever called it by its real name - Welfare!
ReplyDeleteIlluminated One;
ReplyDelete"the meek shall inherit nothing" Frank Zappa. Look there is, or soon will be no inheritance tax, the rich have cornered the market on inheriting stuff.
Skinny, a rose by any other name........
