If this had happened in many other country's, like in most of Europe - we would se people in the streets - angry as hell about cut in social benefits to help people when they are in hard times.... Unlikely in the US, the powers to be, learned the hard way, if people got angry enough they tend to do something to resolve it - either by democratic means - electing new leaders - or in other ways - like a revolution - who might go both ways when the dust settles down again..
This is simply horrible to read - I have tried to learn as much as I can about this issue - but still - I do have problems grasp the idea, it is "good" to starve people - than give them a chance to safeguard food for everyone - this is a horrible crime who should not be accepted as a "norm" - the republicans or others who think cut in aid to food is a good idea should be severely punished by the pepole...
