On Friday, President Obama added his signature to legislation that will cut $8.7 billion in food stamp benefits over the next 10 years, causing 850,000 households to lose an average of $90 per month. The signing of the legislation known as the 2014 Farm Bill occurred at a public event in East Lansing, Mich.

$90 per month is a lot of money to people who need food

That is such a pittance for the federal government, why did they do that?

To save money?

They cannot be serious that ISIS is so much more important that 850,000 Americans who are starving.

All of a sudden, money is no problem.

Where are the debt conscious Republicans that just wouldn't shut up before?

Imagine a headline, "ISIS causes 850,000 Americans to go hungry"

Imagine the outrage from the corporate media


We need to tell these assholes that ENOUGH IS ENOUGH

This is completely unacceptable and they need to hear it from US!
