Overheard in Tennessee:


Stephen Fincher

“If you don’t work, you don’t eat! This is other people’s money! Food stamps are against the bible!”

Rep. Stephen Fincher (R-Tennessee), who this week voted to dramatically cut the federal Supplemental Nutrition Assistant Program for the poor while receiving $3.5 million in farm subsidies since 1999 as part of the same legislation that funds SNAP benefits. Fincher, incidentally, is also a gospel singer.
