GOP Doubles Down on SNAP Cuts

- by Mo

GOP moves to further crush the poor. But, they are good with continuing taxpayer subsidies for millionaire farmers...

"For hungry Americans, the cuts could not come at a worse time. Mint Press News reported that real wages fell across the board by 2.8 percent between 2009 and 2012 as global food prices continue to rise. As a result, the value of SNAP benefits decreased by seven percent during that time, according to a recent report by the USDA. And as we reported in June, cutting SNAP would disproportionately affect children who depend on the benefit for vital nutrition in their first years of life."

That the brown acid that is circulating around us isn't too good. It is suggested that you stay away from that.

But seriously, Sandy… Please show some evidence of one instance that the republicans help the poor and dems fought.
