The topic manifests Democrats' clear attempt to enslave a majority of the American people with dependency on entitlements, and in particular their cynical contempt for black America in pursuit of that, with entitlements put in place by LBJ.
Those entitlements (Food Stamps, and Disability) have roughly doubled under Obama's first four years alone. Even as the black unemployment rate has doubled.
The farm bill --as much as it relates to this topic, without derailing it-- is an attempt to reign in spending that Democrats have elevated 50% in the last 5 years for food assistance.
The poor will not starve from a 3% cut in food assistance spending that was proposed.
What's truly callous and cruel to the middle class and poor is the Democrats enacting massive new regulation (including Obamacare) that has stagnated job creation, while forcing additional financial burden on that same middle class and poor, as well as all businesses.
