US Households On Foodstamps Hit Record High

Food Stamp Cuts Pursued By GOP, Despite Shrinking Deficit

The deficit-obsessed House GOP wanted a $16 billion cut to food assistance last year, when the deficit topped $1 trillion, and now wants a $20 billion cut this year, when the deficit is expected to be $642 billion. What gives?

http://is.gd/1Or8LW



The Republican plan to cut food stamps even more

Three weeks after the House killed a farm bill that included massive food stamp cuts, Republicans are reportedly considering rolling the cuts into a separate piece of legislation. If the plan works, then food stamp cuts may ultimately be even deeper than anticipated.

The big lie behind food stamps

Congress is currently busy arguing about cutting food stamps. The Paul Ryan budget would cut $33 Billion over 10 years. The theory is that programs like food stamps discourage work.
