This week the
House voted to cut food aid to needy Americans by $40 billion over the next ten
years. Back in July, the House passed a farm bill that raised subsidies to
farmers and agricultural corporations by billions of dollars. If there is a clearer example of the
hypocrisy of the Republican members of the US House of Representatives, I would
be shocked. These are the so called
“deficit hawks” who believe the government that spends least, governs best. Yet they voted to give more money to rich
people, and in the process drive food prices higher?
Someone please explain. (And by “someone,” I mean Mike
Dawson, Richard Dawson, or anyone else I know who tends to vote Republican.)
