 | Unprecedented...Dems may use food stamp money to pay for Michelle Obama's nutrition initiativeScotty Starnes | August 14, 2010 at 5:17 PM | Tags: Congress, deficit spending, Democrats, Food Stamp cuts, Food Stamps, Michelle Obama | Categories: Uncategorized | URL: http://wp.me/pvnFC-2fE |
Those caring Democrats. They have spent all the money we have as a country and now they are turning to cutting food stamps to pay for other federal programs. As Obama loves to say...unprecedented.
The Hill reports:
Democrats who reluctantly slashed a food stamp program to fund a state aid bill may have to do so again to pay for a top priority of first lady Michelle Obama.
The House will soon consider an $8 billion child nutrition bill that's at the center of the first lady's "Let's Move" initiative. Before leaving for the summer recess, the Senate passed a smaller version of the legislation that is paid for by trimming the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, commonly known as food stamps.
The proposed cuts would come on top of a 13.6 percent food stamp reduction in the $26 billion Medicaid and education state funding bill that President Obama signed this week.
Food stamps have made multiple appearances on the fiscal chopping block because Democrats have few other places to turn to offset the cost of legislation.
This is the effects of having Democrats in control of both houses of Congress for almost 4 years now.
