You need to have simple bills with simple language and pass multiple ones. I don't support a farm bill. But I even less support a farm bill that has Food Stamps in it. The whole goal was to have a single bill that just dealt with Food Stamps. But "there you go again" saying that the GOP wants dirty air, dirty water and the children to starve. In the end, just pass a bill that is just Food Stamps. Why isn't that in your "piece".HOWDOMENTHINK.COMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02254894598163494357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3482763008785895942.post-56523379183386716162013-07-19T08:58:58.375-04:002013-07-19T08:58:58.375-04:00'Isn’t this the same party that always demands...'Isn’t this the same party that always demands “certainty” for business when it comes to tax policy? How come hungry, low-income families aren’t entitled to the same certainty?'<br /><br />How come? Because they are all hypocritical bigots, cushioned by good salaries and expense accounts and I assume subsidised food and all other kinds of perks the average minimum wage worker could only dream about in the most luscious fantasy.<br /><br />The cuts that are now ravaging Britain are the same; attempts to cut the deficit, and attack the most vulnerable at the same time. Whilst most public service workers are taking a 1% pay rise, our glorious MPs are anticipating an 11% pay rise! Hurrah! And they can always find money for rich people who don't need it, but not for people going hungry. It's an insane world we live in sadly.T-Childshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14973808285834438472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3482763008785895942.post-25167249726943203372013-07-13T16:00:05.500-04:002013-07-13T16:00:05.500-04:00I became physically ill a few months ago watching ...I became physically ill a few months ago watching a Frontline where a little girl talked into the camer a about what she does to distract herself when she's hungry and they have no food at home. And that's now - before these proposed cuts. I had to tune out when they were taking the family dog to the pound because they couldn't afford to feed it anymore. What kind of people are we becoming?BonnieBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16158714321427756205noreply@blogger.com
