not to mention the food stamp industry.
If you want to reduce the size and scope of the Federal Government. You have to have a strategy, you can't just lash out. The Democrats helped here, because they didn't want a work requirement.
The GOP, being the Stupid Party, has no strategy, has no set of priorities.
The number one attack on the GOP is that it's the party of the rich and big business. That's the perception. So, if you had a strategy to reduce the size and scope of the Federal Government, your first target would be corporate welfare, no food stamps for "starving people".
You go through the entire Federal Budget and eliminate all subsidies and at the same time introduce a flat ccrporate tax rate. Eliminate subsidies, grants, tax advantages, etc., etc., etc.
That's what you do first.
The bottom line is that it was never a "farm" bill. It was another stealth welfare bill with a minuscule "farm" issue attached.
Too many working net-tax-paying Americans got wise to the scam.
“Are you bitter? You sound like a Democrat / moocher.”
Not hardly, but did forget the /sar tag. Were it up to me the food stamp budget would be about two bucks total.
You are late. The libs started saying we want to starve folks about two minutes after the vote. One thing we can say about the other side is they are predictable.
Cool.
I usually don’t need sarc tags - - sorry about being a little slow.

Big Gubment can watch us all day, every day, but can’t take luxury foods off the SNAP list?
Time for producers to demonstrate against the Trough Feeders, those with SNAP cars and those in Agencies with credit cards the taxpayer pays for.
How about this for a starting chant:
“SNAP’s STEAK AND CAKE HAVE GOT TO GO!”
or
“NO SNAP STEAK AND CAKE”
