Chickens snatched from pots to pay for votes

In a shocking turn of events the food stamps cupboard in the US has been raided to the tune of some 12 Billion dollars in order to keep tax eaters full. Total investment in keeping up wards of 300,000 taxeaters on the payroll is only 26 Billion dollars.



The Obama administration pushed hard for the $26 billion bill. The White House argued that it is essential to protecting 300,000 teachers and other nonfederal government workers from election-year layoffs and will not add to the national deficit.

Now this I do believe, at least they are being honest about the pandering to the unions for the purpose of purchasing votes.

Somehow I do not anticipate any teachers being bothered by the idea that some of their very own students will not be able to pay attention in class, learn to their maximum capacity because they are preoccupied by hunger......
