Cutting Food Stamps Again?

As a conservative/libertarian hybrid I've got to say there are some social programs I'd never touch as President, one of them being food stamps. I'd issue means testing for them though but cutting them wouldn't be an option. Then again as President I'd have massive tax cuts for everyone and put congress on a spending diet. There wouldn't be high unemployment.

The compassionate, all caring, can live your life better than you liberals have no such problems cutting such a needed program with double digit unemployment.

Michelle Obama's pet child nutrition program, an eight billion dollar program, needs funding and the liberals (who cut food stamps last week) may be forced to cut it again to fund her program.

Dems are gambling that the cuts (which are actually budget increase cuts), which don't take effect until 2014 won't be noticed this November, however it's too late:)
That makes it more of a gamble that their economy will be better when food stamps may be needed the most. Their spending binge will soon becoming to an end and they will join the ranks of the unemployed in an economy their laws produced.

My suggestion would be to cancel the bi-weekly Obama family vacation schedule to fund the nutrition program. That's a good start, I'd focus on congressional pensions next followed by congressional health care plans. There are lots of things to cut in D.C.! Federal worker pay would be frozen, kicking unions out of the public sector, cutting Amtrak, reworking the post office so it becomes profitable, taking the government out of the mortgage industry. That's just for starters, I'd break out the chainsaw for more cutting power for the really good spending cuts:)

So liberals out there who may read this, keep in mind you voted for the man. He'll sign this bill too and cut food stamps further, I for one can't wait to see how it flies in November:)
