Farm bill passed..SNAP program gutted...
"I lingered round them, under that benign sky: watched the moths fluttering among the heath and harebells, listened to the soft wind breathing through the grass, and wondered how any one could ever imagine unquiet slumbers for the sleepers in that quiet earth."Tags: None

"The ground of a certain rich man yielded an abundant harvest. He thought to himself, ‘What shall I do? I have no place to store my crops.’ Then he said, ‘This is what I’ll do. I will tear down my barns and build bigger ones, and there I will store my surplus grain. And I’ll say to myself, “You have plenty of grain laid up for many years. Take life easy; eat, drink and be merry.” But God said to him, ‘You fool! This very night your life will be demanded from you. Then who will get what you have prepared for yourself?’ This is how it will be with whoever stores up things for themselves but is not rich toward God." - Luke

All of you "caring" about "poor" people should donate every cent you make to those less fortunate. Keep enough money to get by, but do not get any luxury items, cancel your cable, sell your car and take the bus. Give everything extra you have to those less fortunate. How can you say you really care while sitting in your house with central air and watching netflix with eating a steak and throwing half away because you're not hungry anymore. You all are such noble beings. Champions of the poor! All talk. Walk the walk.

I think the article is a bit inflammatory. It implies that the money they received was improper or unnecessary. Of course they're going to have agricultural ownership stakes somewhere - they come from communities and states that invest in agriculture and that have many types of farmers among its populace. It's important that they do have a vested interest in the policy they create. However, its important that it benefit all farms equally based on need, not just those type of farms the lawmaker can benefit from directly.
I think in both cases you'll always have people that will stretch the limits of qualification and sully programs of good intent. But should both programs be withdrawn because of that? No.
But the funding and structure of these two important social programs should really be decided separately. Where are the Representatives from areas where SNAP spending is highest?"Igor, would you give me a hand with the bags?"
"Certainly. You take the blonde and I'll take the one in the turban!"

So because it's a movie quote, I guess it ok in your eyes.
I think you are one of the biggest fools on is site but I'm going to help you out anyway.....it's never cool to use that term to describe anyone with special needs or to use it as a punch line to mock someone.
Do what you want with that information.
