Expanding that was the first stimulus. in 2010, ppl sat on their ass, are reaping that. freshwest Feb 2014 #216

So I guess it's totally Obama's fault? EC Feb 2014 #107

The President didn't make it worse. The GOP did that. nt kelliekat44 Feb 2014 #12

Bullcrap!! bravenak Feb 2014 #91

Veto the bill, cut all the food stamps off, and SS and the ACA. Default. Guess that's okay for some. freshwest Feb 2014 #217

It's insane because it is ok for some. great white snark Feb 2014 #226

Yes. it's becoming more obvious everyday. Too bad they aren't honest enough to say so. n/t freshwest Feb 2014 #228

Here is a list of vetoes by President. Maedhros Feb 2014 #127

Clinton should have at least had 38... awoke_in_2003 Feb 2014 #211

A veto this time would have hurt many more people. And guess who would have been screaming here? n kelliekat44 Feb 2014 #138

If he didn't sign it NO ONE would be getting food stamps. JaneyVee Feb 2014 #22

Not true Glitterati Feb 2014 #23

The farm bill expired after 5 years, it wouldn't have been an immediate JaneyVee Feb 2014 #27

Simply not true. Glitterati Feb 2014 #28

OMG. Yes, it's true. An expired farm bill would have led to skyrocketing food prices JaneyVee Feb 2014 #45

MILK Only Glitterati Feb 2014 #54

Because dairy products are not used in a massive variety of other food. (nt) jeff47 Feb 2014 #73

don't look now... grasswire Feb 2014 #174

I think milk would be $12+ a gallon without our gov. keeping reins on the dairy industry Sunlei Feb 2014 #227

Really why do you insist on being wrong. olegramps Feb 2014 #90

No, the old law had an expiration date written into it. jeff47 Feb 2014 #32

Not true Glitterati Feb 2014 #36

The bill funding food stamps was a continuing resolution. It had an expiration date. (nt) jeff47 Feb 2014 #39

And the CR would have been renewed Glitterati Feb 2014 #41

Nope. It ended in January. jeff47 Feb 2014 #47

And if they HADN'T come to a budget deal, it WOULD BE RENEWED Glitterati Feb 2014 #53

Yeah, just like it was when there was a government shutdown. jeff47 Feb 2014 #55

Soo....explain this, please Glitterati Feb 2014 #58

Because I'm talking about food stamps, not "skyrocketing food prices". jeff47 Feb 2014 #67

Wow. Just. Wow. Glitterati Feb 2014 #78

And that's utterly irrelevant to that post. jeff47 Feb 2014 #85

man...you are an obstinate one aren't you? EC Feb 2014 #116

"magic unicorn dust" ??? mikeysnot Feb 2014 #154

You have absolutely no basis for such a claim. olegramps Feb 2014 #105

What was the date? former9thward Feb 2014 #60

Sometime in January for the last CR. jeff47 Feb 2014 #71

That's the same BS reasoning we were given as to why we had to pay criminals jtuck004 Feb 2014 #117

Funny how all the things he can't chessmaster out of are thing s that fuck the poor, innit? Scootaloo Feb 2014 #203

Yep. He always has the words, rhetoric, and fight in him for things benefiting the 1%. GoneFishin Feb 2014 #212

That's always the excuse. Marr Feb 2014 #215

Here are all of the senate democrats... cheapdate Feb 2014 #223

OR...he could have vetoed it....even if the margins weren't in his snappyturtle Feb 2014 #7

And thus food stamps go to zero. (nt) jeff47 Feb 2014 #30

Not. true. Glitterati Feb 2014 #33

Yes true. Funding for food stamps was in a continuing resolution that expired. (nt) jeff47 Feb 2014 #37

And that would have given him a chance to take it to the American people. Autumn Feb 2014 #52

Bascially "yes" but his veto would have been over ridden anyway snappyturtle Feb 2014 #76

We have the Senate and the WH. Imagine if Republicans had that kind of power! sabrina 1 Feb 2014 #29

Usual excuse upaloopa Feb 2014 #49

Exactly, and some people just don't want to get it. They prefer to think Sarah Ibarruri Feb 2014 #56

Easier than looking in the mirror. Complaining and not voting tin 2010 did this. n/t freshwest Feb 2014 #218

Yep. Voting is very important. It scares me to think some do not vote. nt Sarah Ibarruri Feb 2014 #236

So he gave into the hostage takers. zeemike Feb 2014 #109

And please don't change the focus of my original OP. That tactic is one used by the GOP kelliekat44 Feb 2014 #13

Oh honey, that IS the debate Glitterati Feb 2014 #15

Republicans wanted $40Billion in food stamp cuts, Democrats wanted none. JaneyVee Feb 2014 #21

Please quit repeating that lie Glitterati Feb 2014 #25

Food stamps were being funded by the continuing resolutions that also expired. jeff47 Feb 2014 #35

No bill, more CRs Glitterati Feb 2014 #38

You mean the CR that is now expired? jeff47 Feb 2014 #44

More CRs Glitterati Feb 2014 #46

Boy, you're reaching very far. jeff47 Feb 2014 #179

it is an election year your Democratic bashing is wrong rbrnmw Feb 2014 #84
