The Farm Bill MINUS Food Stamps
Hello:
What do you think about the big bonus legislators gave themselves in the Farm Bill & what they say about food stamps?
Republican Fincher, TN has received over $3 MILLION since 1999 in farm subsidize. Last year he received $70K plus. He will get more next year. On food stamps? "If you don't work you don't eat" "This is other people's money" Yeah his...
The second biggest recipient was Representative Doug LaMalfa, a California Republican and agriculture panel member who, along with his wife, Jill, is part owner of a farm that received direct payments of $62,857. On food stamps? The poor, disabled, children, veterans, and the elderly don't need them.. They should get private help or go to a church.
Here's what the American Conservative website said.
Quote:
Christians need to seriously reconsider uncritical support for a political party that prioritizes lavishing subsidies on the agribusiness rich while telling the poor to sit quietly and wait for scraps.
Is the right wing beyond embarrassment?
