Surprise all you Obama sucking poor families relying on Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (formerly known as Food Stamps), Obama just signed the Congressional slash and burn of your children’s diet!
The Agriculture Act of 2014 cuts about $900-million USD from food assistance every year for the next ten years (about $9-billion in total)! (don’t forget about the $5-billion reduction in November 2013)
The ass hole Associated Press called the $9-billion in cuts to food aid a “symbolic cut in food stamps”!
Oh but wait, the Agriculture Act of 2014 increases funding for the crop insurance program, by $6-billion! Congress created new insurance programs to guarantee those poor farmers (most farms are actually corporate farms now) 86% earnings off the crops they sell, if market prices fall too low.
A clear case of robbing from Peter to pay Paul.
“Our ideals and principles, as well as our national security……..That’s what makes America different. That’s what makes us exceptional.”-Barack Obama, 10 September 2013
