Republicans in the House of
Representatives accomplished one of
their long-term goals have been fighting
for this for some time
they're gonna be doing massive cuts to
food stamps in america totaling
potentially forty billion dollars over
10 years now we have a pope
from the house majority leader I think
that what they're doing his explanation
for for that we're at tell you what
actually happened
so I air kantor says this bill is
designed to give people a hand when they
need it most
most people don't choose to be a food
stamps most people want a job
most people want to go out be productive
so that they can earn a living so they
can support a family
so they can have a hope for a more
prosperous future they want what we want
but what we what by their what by that I
mean the republicans is to damascus
different steps and so
the Congressional Budget Office has
estimated that the house legislation
would deny benefits to 3.8 million
Americans next year
and save 39% billion dollars over 10
years I would also allow states to deny
benefits able-bodied adults who don't
work or role in training for at least 20
hours per week
would also make it easier for them the
Institute drug testing before gaining
I these benefits and things of that sort
and so air can talk and say
whatever he wants about this being a
helping hand to the american people
I think he's pulling out his hand and
he's raising one finger Catahoula and
said strip John and you know I mean
its up at least the republicans are
justice harsh
on the the overspending in the over
indulgence in the at the pentagon right
i mean that you know all those military
subcontractors
the go into the depending on their
cutting and slashing all of their money
and
and prosecuting them to and in fact in
this same bill
in the original version when they cut
the food stamps
they made sure to keep the subsidies for
agribusiness
yeah so I mean if you're giant
multinational corporation
well way to keep your subsidies because
poor portrayed runs
what do you do if you only make a couple
billion dollars in profits what so ever
any of these agriculture businesses in
jeopardy going under that the subs well
they are because they're taking the
footsteps away so those people can
afford to use their food stamps
on the company's food so that's what the
sups know but that safety is actually
some truth I
yeah because I guarantee the lobbyist
for the agribusiness when there is a
look at me to cut food sense that causes
a little bit
so make sure you keep our bribes going
make sure me weep I'm so it will drive
you
so make sure you keep keep that crap
going in the and the subsidies
role in aggression so I don't take care
at all if you destroy poor people this
country
but you will not touch our bottom line
make up our difference if the list of
course your gonna give us even more
money
and what we said we love coarser
absolutely sir feeding the poor schmucks
pay my
campaign donations you or so your
subsidies go up
while week cut from the poor dan from
can do is move just about my favorite
reporters you know jack has been on the
show he wrote a great piece today about
how this story was covered and I think
that we actually will make a mistake
because I read this from can store it
insert talking about this
in the terms that we are you start
talking about it correct as those terms
maybe there's obvious hypocrisy here
they have taken a program that feeds
hungry people
and cut it it is it it is that
active intense cruelty
and and and brutality that
should not go unchecked and in the
coverage %uh that
you know that was treated like it's just
another story again well here's what the
double din said about it john bainer
quote given without any context in the
New York Times story this bill makes
America makes getting Americans back to
work a priority again for our nation's
welfare programs
with those not about getting Americans
back to work
the bill is about taking a program
taking programs
that had fed literally by every study
millions love hungry Americans
since the recession that and cutting it
and these guys
act in the quote is another quote here
from a a representative Marlin Stutzman
is that I we
state is her name I in the real world
what we we measure success by result
it's time for Washington to measure
success by how many families are lifted
out of poverty and help back on their
feet not by how much
washington bureaucrats spend year after
year it leaves out the fact that the
point to the programs that
Holguin right be okay maybe can't you
have to go out and from contrite you
have to go after the party to Jackie
Speier give
a really great speeches i urge all love
you to look up online
yesterday on the floor talking about
what these commerce people when they go
on these congressional john gets what
they spend they get a hundred forty one
dollar per diem on one trip to get
food what they get stake in Argentina
they get to
Russian vodka and caviar when they're
and and they get paid
you know the get money to buy with and
they're the people that are taking
food as bad as saying to make it full
circle apoco si is just incredible
so what we need when you look at the
program here
a Fox is a great job love demonizing the
people who get it and so that
when you hear the course about us
talking about what the republicans are
basically saying is
if we deny you the food in you finally
get up off your lazy ass
and get to work although ironically
helped you by not enough food on your
hand
okay and I do your kids hands by the way
so how was Fox's
angle on this they found a guy named a
chastened green slate
in California apparently gets food stamp
benefits
and he apparently serves causes a
California any likes rock music
which I believe if you're hungry or not
hungry your lover like rock music what
they did a story on him
and they're like to look at that beach
bombs again that
bombs ball cuz he is the kid used the
phrase
free for right like it's also make it to
surf and get free food is awesome
what could be better right it's a
classic hatchet job either
up boxes and apparently got every
Republican in the House to watch it
and then representative tim Huelskamp
and it makes sense that the propaganda
outlet for the republican party
absurd tim Huelskamp says her well now
you can no longer sit on your couch or
write a surfboard like Jason in
California
expect the federal taxpayer to feature
so they've got one Jason
who in mice you know service and gets
food stamps
this 47 million other people have seen a
60 minutes reported this family
both mom and dad were working because
the recession they lost their jobs
there trying to me just desperately hang
on to a hotel that they have now moved
into
because their houses under water and
they couldn't afford to pay workers they
lost their jobs
and there's a middle class white family
in the middle of the country
et cetera and the kids are literally
Stockholm greedy they have been on a
beating the Eagles the guys
because their parents don't have a job
right and the parents everyday they go
on the look for a job to look for jobs
and they serve I'm sure respirator
got three kids to test the feed them and
in the midst that the it a little bit of
food stamps so they don't literally star
rape now you could buy 47 million of
those stories
but place is fine she said in california
and the entire republican cause I says
I you silly bombs as I said if you guess
what their hundreds are hundreds of
Jason's maybe even thousands of JCS said
just to make the point that doesn't make
the point
the point here is that there are tens a
millions of people
%uh who are not Jason who need this and
yes
they're always going to be any system
people take advantage of it from the
schoolyard on up
but the the point love this is you is
what Ben said what from Conroe
what we've been talking about is you're
taking food off the table
of your fellow countrymen it looked like
I had one less thing about the pipes for
my point of view
look if we were all in it together and
we said hey look
at some point this program has gotten
too large or you
you know the age Jason so the program
have got to a certain percentage
and we've got a reform it set up and
like Michael said work under pressure to
come this work on that
everything's taken a cut and we actually
would love to help the good folks in
Syria
but we can cause real Italy don't have
the money to go into bombings over there
so we have to cut this program by five
percent okay then we're having a
conversation
but if you tell me you keep giving
subsidies the dow chemical on Monsanto
in all these guys
here. keep doing awards you to keep
given that pork over all the people who
donated to you
you're giving literally the most
probable companies in the world oil
companies
about fourteen billion dollars a year in
subsidies
or money going into their pocket with a
lily make more money than
anyone else on earth well then no I'm
not gonna let you
take money away and put away from $47
million people in america who needed
okay know then we don't have a deal that
means
you not earnest you're just incredibly
bad guy
who got ride by certain people to take
money from Americans
and give it your corporate donors
