I bet 80% of it is food stamps.
Watch the House rubber stamp the growing SNAP program once again.

Dont blame Rand for sitting this one out. The entire US will be on food stamps by 2016 and his Dem opponent will be screaming he voted against it

It looks strategic certainly. He couldn't stop this atrocious bill with his lone vote so I could care less.

This isn't a FARM BILL, it's a, "GET HOOKED ON .gov WELFARE BILL"
Over $3/4s of a Trillion on Food Stamps/Welfare food programs & $130 Billion on Crops/Commodities

Reid controls the amendments and didn't allow it (and probably many others) no worry though; the senators do what they're told and comply with Lord Reid and his wishes.

The food stamp funding will keep WalMart's numbers healthy for a while.
But what's next?

Come to the quick of it, it is a food subsidy. If people get government money for food, they can spend more on other things. Problem is, taxes go up to cover it, so there really isn't any extra money, is there?

"Nutrition"... I would hardly call cheetos and mountain dew nutrition. These people are amazing at wording things.

Any resource the government can provide, have come from the people in the first place. They did not create anything new, they simply took from some and gave to others. Any set of resources/services the government provides to the people also exists without government involvement.
