Today House Republicans addressed our country's financial problems
 
And they refused to cut the defense budget (why cut money to your friends private corporations making millions off the government?) while they slashed benefits to the poor in food aid and Medicare.

That's right: when you have no food, $1.50 a day is too much for our country to afford.

F.u.c.k. you, House Republicans. All Democrats, and 16 Republicans, voted again this, "Gift the rich, take from the poor" budget.

Because we won't have any money to give to the poor if we keep cutting the defense budget?

Why? Are we in imminent danger of a foreign country overrunning us on our soil, and stealing our treasury? (I think we do still have some gold in Ft. Knox)

When the Air Force tells Congress, "No - we do NOT need that fighter jet", but Congress funds it just to provide a fat government contract to their buddies - that's wrong.

It's wrong, if we have to cut money out of our budget, to do it by cutting food from the mouth of starving Americans, to fund fat private corporate profits. It's wrong.
