Newly Elected Republican Senators Sign Pledge to Eliminate Food Stamp Program in 2015
One hundred percent of newly elected Republican Senators have agreed to vote to eliminate the food stamps program including;
Senators Cory Gardner (R-Colo.), David Perdue (R-Ga.), Joni Ernst (R-Iowa), Thom Tillis (R-N.C.), Tom Cotton (R-Ark.), James Lankford (R-Okla.), Steve Daines (R-Mont.), Mike Rounds (R-S.D.), Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.Va.), and Ben Sasse (R-Neb.).
“Small businesses and the American people cannot afford President Obama’s countless new regulations and tax increases. There is a right way and a wrong to improve our country’s welfare system, and the President’s policies just aren’t working. We need to put poor people first and lower costs,†Senator Gardner said in a statement.
Senator Perdue stated on his campaign website that he was one of the millions of Americans who would support free market solutions to feeding the nation.
“The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) is an overreaching federal program that has actually worsened the nutritional standards in this nation and increased costs. I am one of the millions of Americans who wish this program would end. To make matters worse, SNAP benefits are discouraging full-time job creation. We need to repeal the SNAP program and replace it with more affordable free market solutions,†Perdue said on his campaign page.
The Senators signed a pledge to approve any legislation in 2015 that would completely defund the $78 billion program.

1. They won't be happy until the streets are full of starving, homeless beggars.
Calcutta, only colder and with fewer cows.

A private company is going to run the food stamp program. Yieks! Can just imagine what it will look like.

6. They are f*ckin' serious about getting the big
die-off of "undesirables" underway, aren't they? I suppose it's easier and cheaper than death camps, and they can always blame the poor for letting themselves starve to death

10.Well, they got me. But this is too believable to be successful satire.
I totally believe they'd do something like that.
Twice they have the truth posted and still truth bounces off of Primitive heads.

11. Why not a pledge to eliminate corporate welfare?

15. So abortion rights - "no." Starving little kids - "yes."
And I bet they're in the front pew on Sunday.
Not sure how this fits in, but with DU there is always a few who aren't with the program.
