The poor get screwed again. We are all getting screwed and we keep bending over.

1. But are the farmers that stupid ?

If he cuts the food aid to the people, he cuts the money to the farmers. However, he wants the farmers to bite the bullet because he's just practicing tough love on those poor people. See, it's not really about cutting aid to the farmers. It's about cutting aid to poor people. But it isn't...Do you get it?

2. Just another sign of W's wish to turn us into a 3rd world nation

What's new? He's been doing it for four years?

3. Cutting food aid, obviously ALSO cuts farm aid. It's just one step removed

from cutting it directly.

4. Bush brags about all those jobs he created...minimum wage job.

He is under the impression, like most other wealth Repugs, that poor people don't want the jobs, they just want to stay on Welfare and food stamps sooooo....he cuts funding to food aid programs, social security to the disabled (he doesn't believe that some disabled are really disabled) and any other program which makes life a little easier to poor people to make them take the new jobs he says no one wants. No one wants them, even illegals, because you can't live on that wage in this country.

I tell you, we are all workers and the corporations will get all the profits of our labor and we will only get enough to stay alive. It adds up more and more.
