GOP goes against food stamps

Yes, you read that right folks. Uncle Newt, the man who brought the republicans back from the desert in 1994, has been advising Republicans to hit Democrats for letting the food stamps assitance program grow. You have to admit, this is kind of a strange play. A lot of the focus on this election has been over tax cuts for the rich, not food stamps for poor people. But it is a very shrewd calculation. It makes the Dems look like socialists, and the Repubs like good little capitalists. However, this move is also a bit, um, cruel and assish. Given that we are suffering a recession that started because the Republicans had to deregulate EVERYTHING, it is no freaking wonder that food stamp use went up. People are poorer now, hello? 1 in 8 adults are on it, as well as 1 in 4 children. This is just a way to highten the class division. And frankly, doing this to avoid looking like the party of rich, white people is kind of like having Virg Bernero drop the nomination and supporting Rick Synder. It doesn't work. We need Democrats to keep everything working right.
