Fox News host Stuart Varney is outraged that state governments are continuing to help the poor feed themselves, even after Congress agreed to cut spending on food stamps. The farm bill passed Jan. 29 cuts about $800 million from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), but officials in Connecticut, New York, and Pennsylvania have made changes to state programs to tie food-stamp eligibility to home-heating assistance to allow more low-income families to be eligible for aid. "This completely negates, almost entirely negates the cuts that Congress imposed," Varney said Tuesday on Fox & Friends.
Why, yes...It does. It actually negates the TeaBaggers, Randroids and right-wing sociopaths that would rather see people and their children go hungry, and freezing in cold temperatures. How resourceful that SOME states have found a way around the Paul Ryans of the world to take care of their citizens instead of punishing them for being poor.
