Re: Pay for Tax Cuts to Rich by Cutting Food Aid to the Poor
Bush is proposing to withdraw food stamps for certain families already receiving other government assistance. The administration estimates that plan would remove more than 300,000 people from the rolls and save $113 million annually. ???
Are you sure those are the numbers? It costs $113 million annually to feed $300.000?
I would think the 300,000 number is closer to 30 million.. couldn't 113 million feed 30 million? 30 million times x = 113 million? 113 million divided by 30 mil is?
I freely admit to being rather a numbskull when it comes to math...but...???
Sure..blame federal deficits on fraudulent use of food stamps by hard-up people...
Good excuse.....???
Like anyone would choose survival on food-stamps rather than the self-estem of a job that pays enough to support a family.
Republicans declined increasing the minimun wage. So gee ... you are making $5.15 an hour and the price of gas is 1.97 a gal...and you gotta drive 15 miles one way to work every day...the price of gas alone tells me that values seem to be lacking in D.C.
the oil companies for the past couple years have experienced a minimum of 5 billion dollar profit annually?
^ Very disturbing to me.
