Devastating Food Stamp Cuts have started and the GOP couldn’t be any happier. After all, why pull yourself up by the boot straps when you can just eat them for sustenance. In fact, Republicans want to take an even bigger chainsaw to the SNAP program despite the fact that 83 percent of food stamps go towards children, veterans, and the elderly (you know, takers). Sara Grier, a hard-working North Carolina single mother of four, is the latest living example of austerity for the 99 percent and socialism for the one percent. Many families are now dealing with cuts to the SNAP program, but none have seen a Bill the Butcher-like cut like Sara.
Food stamp cuts force Sara Grier’s household to live on $16 a month.
While a majority of SNAP recipients have seen their SNAP benefits cut by five percent, for whatever reason Sara’s is much bigger.
there is no reason other than mean spirited taking out there green eyed hatred of the Black Pres. that took them to the shed twice, if they can't destroy him upfront they will backdoor him by further hurting Americans, this is a case of racism toward one and bigotry to all, more Whites receive food stamps then Blacks ans Hispanics well heads up;“At this point I don’t know what were going to do,” she says after receiving a notice that she will only get $16 a month in food stamps from now on. She was receiving more than $500. (WCNC.com)

If you pay any attention to right wing media, then you know that folks on the right are obsessed with unraveling the safety net, mostly
because they believe that the safety net benefits mostly black and brown people:
- All of the candidates delighted in calling President Obama the food stamp president during the 2012 campaign.
- Also during the campaign, Rick Santorum said “I don’t want to make black people’s lives better by giving them other people’s money.”
republicans are a party of disdain for all things not White that is not fully true either, including the few tokens they have Black and Brown, neither have delivered their respective voters. people are desperate but not as desperate as they want to make us, those few who have been fooled are now seeing the ugly face that smiles at them while their hands are full of what those people need to survive but they aren't handing they are taking.
- Newt Gingrich famously added, “I will tell black people to demand paychecks instead of food stamps.”
their false commitment to veterans they are taking away stamps from 900,000 + vets but note the mysterious quiet and calm around anything that would take fair shares from the 1%, is this what you want really?
