Overheard in Congress:


Steve Stockman

“People can eat really well on the $4.50 per day assistance the food stamp program provides. I tried it, goddamit, so I should know. In fact, I think we can cut the program EVEN MORE. I had leftovers. I had rice, beans, popsicles and cookies. You can't have fresh vegetables. Or fruit. Or even meat. But you can eat a lot of stuff with very little if any nutritional value. Of course, I only STAYED on the food stamp challenge diet for two days, but I could have stayed longer. I know how to eat poor.”

Rep Steve Stockman (R-Texas)
