[Peace-discuss] Fwd: Breaking News: House Passes Bill Cutting $40Billion From Food Stamps

What a bastard !

I knew the honeymoon with Davis wouldn't last long, even a broken clock is right twice a day.
Of course he could care less about the suffering this will cause, but that aside he is so short sighted as to the additional problems this will cause including a rise in the crime rate as people become desperate.

                      House Passes Bill Cutting $40 Billion From Food StampsHouse Republicans narrowly pushed through a bill on Thursday that slashes billions of dollars from the food stamp program, over the objections of Democrats and a veto threat from President Obama. The vote set up what promised to be a contentious fight with the Senate and dashed hopes for passage this year of a new five-year farm bill. 
                            The vote was 217 to 210. 
                            The bill would cut $40 billion from the food stamp program over the next 10 years. It would also require adults between 18 and 50 without minor children to find a job or to enroll in a work training program in order to receive benefits. It would also limit the time those recipients could get benefits to three months.
