With a heads up from one of our awesome readers comes another reason the GOP is horrible for America.
Millions of Americans may go hungry for all the House Republicans care as they leave food stamps out of a farm bill. Having the food stamp program in farm spending bills has long been the only way the program, which feeds almost 50 million people including a fifth of all American children, passes the conservative legislative body.
The Right only hates pre-birth abortion. More from the New York Times:
Republicans muscled a pared-back agriculture bill through the House on Thursday, stripping out the food stamp program to satisfy recalcitrant conservatives but losing what little Democratic support the bill had when it failed last month. It was the first time food stamps had not been a part of the farm bill since 1973.
In Democrats-suck-too news – President Obama has started a new program straight from the Stasi.
From Truth-out et al:
In an initiative aimed at rooting out future leakers and other security violators, President Barack Obama has ordered federal employees to report suspicious actions of their colleagues based on behavioral profiling techniques that are not scientifically proven to work, according to experts and government documents.
The techniques are a key pillar of the Insider Threat Program, an unprecedented government-wide crackdown under which millions of federal bureaucrats and contractors must watch out for “high-risk persons or behaviors” among co-workers. Those who fail to report them could face penalties, including criminal charges.
The two soulless political parties of the US are ruining lives and our nation. The ONLY thing that keeps these tyrants in power is your vote.
