"A lot of the spending cuts that we're making should be around areas like defense spending as opposed to food stamps," President Obama told in an interview with NPR.
"What is true is that given the rising number of seniors and given the huge escalation in health care costs, that if we dont structure those programs so that they are sustainable, then its going to be hard for the next generation to enjoy those same kinds of benefits. And so we are going to have to make some modest changes that retain the integrity of the program, but make sure that theyre there for years to come. And thats not even just a deficit problem, thats a step that even if we were all Democrats up here on Capitol Hill, wed have to start making to make sure the integrity of those programs are preserved," Obama also said in the interview.

I assert that “discretionary spending”, especially that spending that is done to support the bureacracy and all its inefficiencies and redundancies is simply another form of welfare, if not outright reparation spending.
The really stupid part about this is that about 35% of our military forces are on food stamps themselves....cut the military budgets and soon you’ll hit the soldier’s pocket books and they can’t afford the food stamps!!!
The decline of the US started under FDR with SS and went on steroids under LBJ with Medicare and Medicaid, suppplemented by Bush with his expansion of Medicare to include Prescription Drugs, and culminated with Obamacare which will be the final straw. The welfare state is the cause of our decline.
So cut our defenses when the filty ass parasites that wont work and pump out kids and live off welfare can keep on milking us into oblivion? The founders would be shooting by now. I’m fed up to be honest.
If his mind was set on rooting out the evil’s he would probably be with the Tea Party.
me being always in a hurry, I usually pack my own groceries( or at least help the cashier). I notice that many people do this. Except I have never seen a food stamper help. I n fact they stand like a diva waiting for the cashier to do it all.
I am so glad I work as hard as I do.
In reality they are a to be pitied group of slugs. You see, when the new world order takes final hold and no longer needs the predictable votes of these dependents, programs will be ‘re-arranged’ to reduce the number of these ‘useless eaters’. The Stalinist regime showed how it is done, starving off 25,000,000 in the Ukraine alone! Mao went Stalin one better. These welfare slugs must not be allowed to learn their fate, however. So people like barry bass turd lie to them daily and shitheads like upChuck Schumer demagogue and deceive at every trun. The poor welfare slugs are not capable of seeing through the sham, so they are being herded to their doom, ultimately.

Undercover agent Larry Grathwohl discusses the Weather Underground's post-revolution governing plans for the United States:
Larry Grathwohl:
"I asked, 'well what is going to happen to those people we can't reeducate, that are diehard capitalists?' and the reply was that they'd have to be eliminated. And when I pursued this further, they estimated they would have to eliminate 25 million people in these reeducation centers. And when I say 'eliminate,' I mean 'kill.' Twenty-five million people. I want you to imagine sitting in a room with 25 people, most of which have graduate degrees, from Columbia and other well-known educational centers, and hear them figuring out the logistics for the elimination of 25 million people. And they were dead serious."

"It was at the Chicago home of [Bill] Ayers and [Bernardine] Dohrn that Obama, then an up-and-coming 'community organizer,' had his political coming out party in 1995. Not content with this rite of passage in Lefty World where unrepentant terrorists are regarded as progressive luminaries, still working 'only to educate' both Obamas tended to the relationship with the Ayers."

Article: Obama's Foul Weather Friends
By Scott Swett and Roger Canfield
"As a gesture of solidarity, the Vietnamese who [Bernardine] Dohrn met in Budapest presented her with a ring made from an American aircraft shot down over North Vietnam. Bill Ayers would receive a similar ring while meeting with Vietnamese communists in Toronto. He later recalled being so moved by the gesture that he 'left the room to cry.' "

eliminate food stamps, Earned income tax credit, section 8 housing, and welfare for starters!
Obama is truly the “food stamp” president.
And now the media can’t whine about it.
“Guns versus butter and butter wins every time.”
Eliminate the butter, you either pay your own way in this world or lie down in the street and die!
The DemonRats' goal is to spend our money on anything BUT the military. And to buy votes by giving away free stuff.
Think how easy it will be to locate the dependents when the time comes to end their useless eating.
Well for starters....he’s refused to cut the number of active duty forces or bases (now in 120 countries), and given the generals a surge (far more than Bush ever asked for) in Afghanistan.
Yes and he’s cut our nukes, The F-22, our entire manned space program (shuttle and constellation). So are you an obama bot now? Let me guess whats next to be cut ...our subs, more nukes, carriers and any other defense the US has against china russia or any major hostile power....
I was at the 99cents store a week ago, and the mexicans use the EBT cards and one in front of me charged her grocs for $30! I am actually proud I worked for and paid for my 99 cent pop..
Paradoxically, I think his Afghanistan surge was just a ploy to justify withdrawl. He can say, “See, I surged just like Bush” whenever he needs political cover. And, of course, the withdrawl has begun regardless of whether the mission is accomplished.
By the end of his term, or very soon after, Afghanistan will have a Taliban government and Iraq will be an Iranian province.
