Not because it shouldn't be cut. It should. But where is the necessary companion legislation to make hiring easier, or less expensive, or more safe from the litigious?
Government is a big part of the problem in hiring. The government is creating the hungry and trying to use food stamps to mask a problem they've created. If the government doesn't get out of the way of hiring, cutting food stamps is really going to hurt some people.
Poor people deserve sushi and lobster too. (well as long as someone else is paying for it)
He won what, one state in 1972?
Now there’s a legacy to hang your hat on.
Bluster on George, you flaming (out) idiot.
James P. McGovern...not George...but a McGovern nonetheless..whether by lineage or simply in terms of having both the same surname and a similar agenda
He’s dead Jim.
Well that was a stupid mistake on my part. Thanks for the mention. I should have caught that.
Too little too late... LOL
I just had to eat crow, and now you tell me. Har.

Imagine George...as a Nun!!
"The proposed SNAP cuts would also strain local food banks and pantries, according to Jean McMurray... Her organization makes food available to 145 partner agencies to help relieve hunger in 60 towns in central Massachusetts."
I bet John Kerry will be so livid when he hears about what's happening in his home state that he will immediately sell his yacht and donate all of the proceeds to that food bank...
Didn’t McGovern have an epiphany after he was no longer around to screw up the lives of working people, and had to attempt to function under the burden of all the BS he proposed and/or voted for?
Cutting the taxpayer money given to these “poor people” is a great idea, IMHO.
At the same time, I think specific foodstuffs should be disallowed from the food stamp program: potato chips, soda with HFCS, sugary foods (cupcakes, etc.), high priced items like lobster and the finer cuts of beef, etc.
This would also reduce the fraud where people load up on high priced items and sell them around their neighborhood for $.50 on the dollar.
No more Mornings After...I never could figure it out. Was that supposed to be a song of hope, or a warning about hangovers?
I ket old george slip off my radar screen some years back but I dont doubt it.
common sense developed and enforced by encountering painful reality happens
Heh. I thought it was rather good, D1. It’s noteworthy only because you don’t make mistakes very often. I thought I was the only old fart that does that.
Well it was the theme song for “The Poseidon Adventure.”
