You don't understand much about Washington. The didn't collapse on unemployment because not doing so didn't hurt the constituents they suck up to. The real argument here is just the other way. If they want to cut food to the poor, then they have to cut millions in supplements to their bosses. That won't happen. No midwestern republican can vote to cut farm subsidies. Big Ag would gut them.
With unemployment the only incentive republicans had was to do the right thing. With the Farm Bill, they have bosses to pay.
There was no reason for ending food supplies to two million Americans.
Since you favor cutting these people off from food so that millionaires can get their booty, I hope to see you at the food bank this week. We will have lots to do since the Democrats and the Administration are being so spineless. First we give them our tax money, then we give our time and money to make up what gets cut.
Basically, you are wrong on this.
