"I
just don't like these damn food stamp—or Supplemental Nutrition Assistance
Program, to be politically correct—people. That's why I want to cut the
program. Let the individual people out there who want to help the poor each
pick out one they can feed. That's what God wants us to do—help one another.
It's in the Bible: the Book of Noah, Chapter 6. can't be spending people's
money on this shit!"
Rep.
Stephen Fincher (R-Tennessee) who voted to cut the SNAP program and leave millions
people without enough food to eat while the farm HE OWNS has received $3
million in farm subsidies since 1995. Reauthorization of those farm subsidies is part of the same
bill that will cut SNAP benefits.

"The
Bible doesn't say, 'the federal government shall feed the poor and hungry.' The
Bible tells the hungry to go to their local food shelters, or go find Jesus and
ask him to change a goldfish into a giant trout. Or something like that."
Rep.
Doug La Malfa (R-California, who ALSO owns a farm, though HIS has received $5
million in subsidies during the same period. Both Fincher and la Malfa voted to
cut SNAP by $20 billion but expand crop insurance subsidies by $9 billion.

"Wow. And I thought Father put a brain into every human he made. I guess not. Huh. I guess the old bastard isn't perfect after all. Shit. I hope he didn't hear that. He'll have me out mowing entire continents again."
