“I take Matthew 25 to mean me as an individual, not the U.S. government.”

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're combating poverty by eliminating the poor! Very Swiftian, Congress.

I commend to the 'honorable' Representative the story of Lazarus <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watc..." target="_blank">" rel="nofollow noopener" title="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tjAzsqzT0CE">http://www.youtube.com/watc... and would suggest that, should he wish to avoid the hellacious mice, he should reconsider his vote.

"Collective government," huh? I <i>knew</i> the Republican majority on the Agriculture committee had gone soft. What next--bike paths and a carbon tax?

It's still going on, but we can see the light at the end of the tunnel. Also a drone strike took out Big Drugs' number three man. Again.

"The Poor will always be among us"... unless we just let them all starve, as per GOP policy.

<i>“the poor will always be with us”</i>

And godammit, we Republicans are doing our darndest to increase their numbers as much as possible. Praise!

Nevermind the fact that they're just rehashing the exact same arguments they deployed against the New Deal back in the '30s. Turned out fewer Americans starved when the government tried to help back then, and I sure as hell see no reason it'd be any different today.

Is he attempting to challenge the inerrancy of the bible? "The poor will always be with us." "Not if we cut off their food".
