Spending
The Agriculture Committee of the U.S. House voted on Friday to reduce federal spending in that arena by $3.67 billion, of which roughly $850 million is to be pared from the food stamps program (i.e., less than 2% of the budget for food stamps).
The roll call was:
Zero = Democrats in favor of less spending.
25 = Republicans in favor of less spending.
Zero = Republicans opposed to less spending.
20 = Democrats opposed to less spending.
Hmm, wait a minute.
Haven’t the MediaCrats rhythmically been chanting “profilgate federal spending” over the past several years?
But when given a chance actually to vote on a modest deficit-reduction plan their entire membership in that Committee said: “no?!”
I’m shocked by that outcome.
Why, I find that nearly to be as *stunning* as high crime rates, low student test scores, high poverty rates, low graduation rates, and high teen pregnancy rates in big liberal cities controlled for decades by Democrats.
P.S. – Here’s how Pravda-Reuters projected its antipathy for the GOP in connection with these matters. Not to be outdone, here’s how Pravda-AP projected its various mental disorders.
Cute, huh?
