A billion American children will starve!!!!
Is this more baseline BS? Meaning the rate of increase is only 6% not the usual 7% baseline increase, then term the whole thing as a Draconian 1% “cut”?
Do it!
An $800 million cut in food stamps, or 1% of an $80 billion boondoogle, from Zer0’s program that has increased 50% in the past 4 years.
Gimmee, gimmee, gimmee, and I love’s that Obama!
The idiot GOP just gave the Dems an election year gift. They pass a non-cut cut, which will allow the Dems to scream “The evil Republicans keep cutting aid to the poor!!!”
Cutting it by reducing the appropriation in a bill, just gives the democrats the opportunity to say the GOP is against the poor.

Spend, spend, spend. Invest in guillotines.
Start with a cut of 50% this year and another 50% every year until they don’t exist!!!
Make your own way in this world or croak!
Since the government can (and did) take 1% away from retired military folks, I’d say this is just fine. In fact, it’s my chief complaint that so far, that we only seem to see military folks as the patsies for government cuts. If we all share the pain, it takes the sting out of the disrespect. All in all, it’s something I’d like to see extended to all areas of the budget, both discretionary and entitlement.
