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.

Notice the huge post count from most of the DUmmies. These aren't people who are working for a living...

1. They won't be happy until the streets are full of starving, homeless beggars.

Calcutta, only colder and with fewer cows.

2. Talk about a bumpy 2-year ride ahead of us

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

This DUmmy cannot recognize truth...

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.

18. Same site says Obama adopted a koala and named it Ferguson

(And he named a volleyball "Wilson"!)

  Hi5!

More proof that not only liberalism is a mental disease,  but DUmmies were dropped on their heads as children.

Repeatedly!

Just look at it as an extention of Moochelle's war on obesity. You wouldn't eat your greens so we're taking them away.

The private sector running the food stamp program would be great. All the waste and corruption would be eliminated.

With the amount of waste in the program, the government could afford to open food-stamp-only stores selling USDA products directly and cut out the middle man (Kroger, WalMart, Publix, et al).

I think that's a great idea. Have you ever considered running for office? I'd vote for you!

I borrowed the idea from a local talk radio host.  He grew up in North Carolina where the state runs the liquor stores (package store/ABC store).  I lived in North Carolina for a while and saw the food stamp abuse.  My neighbors would sell meat and groceries for 50 cents on the dollar.

The Barack administration spends $80 billion a year on food stamps.  1% of that would pay for itself.

I would love the idea but the mooches would complain that a centralized store would stigmatize them. That's one of the reasons they went away from actual food stamps.

It doesn't stop the alcoholics from shopping at the ABC store (Alcoholic Beverage Commission).

In North Carolina, you can buy wine and beer at the grocery store.  Hard liquor is regulated by the state.

Thunderbird, ripple, and colt 45 malt liquor are staples. Not only that, they are a basic human right.

Just as likely as new Federal Firearm Restrictions in 15

It worked like a charm on you, nutlicker.  Success!  Take this down, retard:  To be successful, satire must be believable.  More is better.

Think of it like, taxes!  See?

The same drooling infants who, want an all-powerful, central government to be mommy and daddy.
