Now That's a Great Idea!

Hello My Dear Friends. First, let me begin by saying a very sincere "Thank You" to all of our American Veterans and their families for their sacrifice and service to this Nation. Happy Veterans Day! Now, with all of the talk and media coverage surrounding the nightmare that is Obamacare, it's easy to see how this little tidbit of news got lost in the shuffle. I assume you're familiar with the "Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act" that the President signed into law in 2010. A big part of that is the First Lady's "Let's Move" anti-obesity initiative. What you may not be aware of is the awesome way the Obama's have decided to battle obesity. They've funded the "Let's Move" program with money they took from the Food Stamp (now called SNAP) program! The President quietly diverted $4.5 billion from the SNAP program to the Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act.  So, beginning this month, the poorest families of four in this Country, will receive $632 in food stamps; down from $668 a month. What better way to cut down on obesity than to take away people's food? It's brilliant, really. They should rename the First Lady's pet project to "Let's Move...to the soup kitchen"! I realize that $36 a month doesn't sound like much to the average family, when that's all you've got, it is. Also, let us not forget that the SNAP program has seen a 70% increase since 2008. Yes, 70%! To be fair, some of the $4.5 billion went toward improvements to the school lunch program. That would be the healthy, bean sprout and tofu laden lunches that kids around the country refuse to eat. Again, working toward the elimination of obesity. The irony here is that one of the core goals of "Let's Move" is "to ensure that every family has access to healthy, affordable food" and you're taking away their food stamps to pay for it. Hysterical! Brace yourself. Tomorrow we're going to improve your quality of life by raising your rent!
