mmmm the delicious irony of it all Vote for a guy because he'll give you free stuff and he takes some of it away I love it, you can't make up this stuff if you tried http://www.toledoblade.com/State/2012/11/12/Ohioans-food-stamp-aid-to-be-cut.html the money shot!!! 869k households can thank their sugar daddy For the 869,000 households enrolled in the program for the poorest Ohioans, that could amount to about $520 million annually out of the grocery budgets.
I doubt it's a laughing matter to the 869k households who will be affected. I am confident that the majority of them voted for Obama so the gravy train would run on schedule. I feel the only solution here is for them to take to the streets in protest. How dare the Govt take away from them. Maybe if we raise taxes on the rich we can keep these folks whole and even give them a raise as thanks for voting Democrat
That sentiment is why it's hilarious to see the RW complaining... omg he cut benefits to the people u want benefits cut for! Never occurs to you folks to be consistent?
Besides the spectacle of highly inconsistent conservatives b*tching about a reduction in a program they want to see reduced, perhaps we could pause a moment to peruse this paragraph from the OP's article: Because of the way the federal government calculates utility expenses for people receiving the benefit, a mild winter nationwide last year, and a lower price for natural gas, many families could experience a significant cut in aid, those familiar with the program say. Gee. The size of the benefit is based on a formula, and a component of the formula changed. OMG! Obama did it! He's a hypocrite!!
This should delight the far right tea baggin' patriots! ...... because of Obama less handouts! Now aren't you sorry you didn't vote for the President?
Obama cuts spending the right wingers whine about it Obama increases spending the right wingers whine about it. I suspect they just don't like President Obama and they think everything he does is wrong. Ya think? Imagine the paradise we would be living in right now if Barack Obama wasn't elected and McCain and Palin were.
Funny how these sort of stories never come out before an election. I'm sure that if they get hungry enough they can eat their obamaphones. (How do you like his second term so far? HAHAHAHAAHA!)
Im sure it's not! I hope for many surprises for the gravy train crowd over the next 4. Each time Im going to chuckle. Couldnt happen to a better bunch.
Yup. The only consistent element is they hate Obama. They've been calling him the "Food Stamp President" for years. So he cuts food stamps. They scream louder. What is the upside for the President of compromising and enacting some of the right's policies? It's not like it would win him praise.
They still are, aren't they? Still, these dregs would vote for obama if they were knocked down to a dollar a day. Because, in the words of any black eyed woman talking to the police called on a domestic assault call: "he still love us" Now, it's no more steak and lobsters for them. They have to make room for all the newly unemployed that have been created since obama's reelection. To paraphrase obama himself "When you spread the welfare around, it's better for everyone".
Hate fueled by people like Rush Limbaugh, Glen Beck, Fox and the rest of the conservative entertainment industry. Started by creatures like Karl Rove, Mitch McConnell the the other slaves to the billionaires. It's a good thing President Obama is President to ALL Americans, not just to the 1% of Americans who are the wealthy parasitic class.
back up what, the gravy train? nah, it left he station as it has 869,000 stops to make in Ohio. Do you also find the irony delicious or do you feel like me that this a terrible way to thank those who voted for you? He didn't do that to the UAW workers
