U.S. Military Industrial Complex 11

Vele honderden miljarden aan belastinggeld ging naar de failliete banken, en gaat nog steeds naar het militair industrieel complex, terwijl er op voedselbonnen in de VS wordt bezuinigd:

Stan, the U.S. Senate will vote TODAY to invoke cloture on the Farm Bill that cuts food stamps. Virtually all the cuts only affect 16 states—including New York. Please sign and send the petition to your senators now, urging them to vote no. Keep fighting, Chris Bowers, Daily Kos Date: Feb 02, 2014 11:50 A.M. From: Paul Hogarth, Daily Kos Subject: SHOCKING: 97% of foodstamp cuts to target just 15 blue states, including New YorkStan, there is a horrifying twist on the $8.7 billion cuts to food stamp cuts that passed the House—and which will soon face a vote in the Senate. Almost all of the food stamp cuts come from 16 states and the District of Columbia—including New York. The rest of the nation is left virtually untouched. Sign and send our petition to your two U.S. Senators—telling them to just say “no" to food stamp cuts. But wait, that's not all—15 of these 16 states voted for President Obama twice, and 28 of their 32 senators are Democrats. In other words, these cuts are targeted overwhelmingly at poor folks in blue states. Sign and send our petition to your two senators, telling them to vote “no” on the Farm Bill—because it cuts food stamps, with poor folks in blue states the overwhelming victims. Keep fighting, Paul Hogarth, Daily Kos
