Good news for the 15% of Americans who make up the Poors: Our elected representatives have done a close reading ofthe Constitutionthe Bible and magnanimously decided that it's OK to give a few food stamps to poor people so they don't starve, but not too many. Of course, it was not an open-and-shut case, so it took around nine hours of deliberation to figure this out, including a friendly discussion of Biblical exhortations and their articulation in the 21st-century American context.
&quot;Collective government,&quot; huh? I <i>knew</i> the Republican majority on the Agriculture committee had gone soft. What next--bike paths and a carbon tax?
It&#039;s still going on, but we can see the light at the end of the tunnel. Also a drone strike took out Big Drugs&#039; number three man. Again.
Nevermind the fact that they&#039;re just rehashing the exact same arguments they deployed against the New Deal back in the &#039;30s. Turned out fewer Americans starved when the government tried to help back then, and I sure as hell see no reason it&#039;d be any different today.
Is he attempting to challenge the inerrancy of the bible? &quot;The poor will always be with us.&quot; &quot;Not if we cut off their food&quot;.

No, you asshole, it means all of us. A.K.A. <i> we, the people.</i> Ever hear that phrase?
These fucking sanctimonious assholes just piss me off to no end.
The repubs should try feeding 5000 heavily-armed rednecks with a few loaves and fish.
We&#039;re combating poverty by eliminating the poor! Very Swiftian, Congress.
And the wine sucks.
Excellent.
Fuck Ayn Rand.

&quot;The Poor will always be among us&quot;... unless we just let them all starve, as per GOP policy.
Fucking cunts.
<i>&ldquo;the poor will always be with us&rdquo;</i>
And godammit, we Republicans are doing our darndest to increase their numbers as much as possible. Praise!
