Priorities

We have people on the verge of dying of thirst because of chemical poisoning of their water in West Virginia.
We have a. Governor in New Jersey abusing power to negatively effect a million people innocently trying to get to work in the morning.
We have an always touchy situation in the Middle East.
We have a major corporation in the U.S. leaking credit card information of millions of people.
We have millions of unemployed people turning desperate over where to turn to.

And we have a Republican House of Representatives believing that our #1 priority should be cutting food stamps for hungry children and unemployment benefits for poor Americans.

Gee, what can the problem be in this country?
