House passes farm bill, eliminating Food Stamps

[Ogre Mage]

Oh no, let's not feed the poor children (47% of food stamp recipients are under 18).  Yet another reason why the GOP brand is so toxic.

Commieist!

Nice strawman. In fact, this bill barely touches the dole. It doesn't even touch the biggest dole of them all, Obamacare.

You're bringing Obamacare into a discussion about food stamps are you're talking about strawmen?  Any fool can see that taking food stamps out of the agriculture bill is a prelude to House Republicans gutting the program.  Boehner says, "We'll get to that later."  LOL, yeah, right.

Subsidies to Big Agriculture are just so much more important to House Republicans than poor hungry people.  Never mind that error and fraud is considerably higher in the agricultural crop insurance program than in the food stamp program.  Do we really have to listen to another round of GOP sham talk about fiscal responsibility?
