"On a party-line vote, a Republican-run U.S. House of Representatives committee voted to cut food stamps by $844 million on Friday, just hours after a new government report showed more Americans are struggling to put food on the table.
About 300,000 Americans would lose benefits due to tighter eligibility rules for food stamps, the major U.S. antihunger program, under the House plan. The cuts would be part of $3.7 billion pared from Agriculture Department programs over five years as part of government-wide spending reductions." http://www.dailykos.com/story/20.....10/29/135220/
You just can't turn your back on these guys for one second. I can hardly wait to see what will happen to various budgets when it comes time to balance the books for billionaire tax cuts and Haliburton Domestic Relief aid, i.e. Hurricane Katrina rebuilding. How about having people exchange a pint of blood for food stamps or maybe a kidney for an unemployment check?
