Overheard in California:



Doug Lamalfa

“The government should NOT be helping the poor, goddammit! We should be doing that as individuals or through our churches!”

Rep. Doug Lamalfa (R-California), who last week voted to dramatically cut the federal Supplemental Nutrition Assistant Program for the poor. His family’s rice farm has received $5.1 million in farm subsidies since 1995 as part of the same legislation that funds SNAP benefits.
