court can help but think that they're
not there now many members of cars and
socially progressive members of congress
who who have taken recently the food
stamp challenge to live on food stands
firm on to see what it's like an
objection calloused he's talking about
it
does that play enrollment thinking here
and then you would think that that would
help move the needle here because
the when jessica she scripts reading
this stuff
order from proprietors
you know all the little
the small sandwich fortunately really
have to be really spare with this stuff
this is not a a generous program
within fatima hard read that you know
the average monthly muscles figured
still at even shocked me that his
monthly income of uh... a single person
on food centre seven hundred eighty four
dollars
which is a pretty shocking figures a bit
of a living targeted ice also point out
you know people talk about
uh... has become big talking points you
mentioned abounding the food stamp
president
you know being exploded inefficient
wasteful program i snapped is actually
the most efficient programs uh...
brought the federal level right now in
fact in the farm bill
which expands the uh... federal crop
insurance program
job gives it better five billion dollar
bills that program was acknowledged to
be out more wasteful more efficient than
the food stamp program by the secretary
of agriculture himself tom does
acknowledge that
that that that is this idea that that
snap is uh... you know inefficient
wasteful doesn't really uh... does
really hold up
think oh i have to ask i mean why has
the story not even caught on in the
progress of media as far as i can tell
you've been the allman warner
something's alarms in these times it
will result in boston with what is the
leader of the
and i'm talking about the mainstream
media
because i don't i don't know i didn't at
lower standards for them i just assumed
that they're going to work
but the progress of the year have not
even really rally i mean the other
there's been a little bit of coverage
from
banning p_b_s_ headset somebody on
pubmed internet stock of the person in a
lot of coverage com
but is having the receiving the planet
you know it showed a nest because it
affects people that
don't have as much of a
don't have a much leverage when it comes
to making policy washtenaw when it comes
to making policy for a farm bill you
know the people that are the big they
got her courter
uh...
you know these businesses are the ones
that are pushing for their legislation
in a bigger voice but when it comes to
people on food stamps you know they're
just don't factor mom that much into the
you know questions and when it comes to
what's politically feasible as
politically uh... invoke
so i think that's you know part of the
because it affects such low income
people you know you don't get as much
attention
will folks we don't need to be apathetic
and we don't need to let big
agribusiness determine
how these for bills are made we'd only
the throw people all the food stamp
roles to give more government giveaways
to big agriculture big agribusiness is
through things like these
bloated fraud reading crop insurance
programs that
and the direct payments themselves which
is
completely outrageous
go take action corner member of congress

action is actually
giving you these opportunities
use the pop box was our facebook page
faced with dot com slash take action
news
at and i have to give you a specific all
out
to warn senator
as senator tom harkin
is a progressive champion
is a new deal liberal
is a champion of social security and
medicare
chevy of organized labor
he's he's one of the store just
progressives you'll find
it also retiring in twenty four t
so he has no political threat here
and it because i have no choice but to
suspect
the because he's a senator from iowa
and he's close to some these big
corporate agriculture businesses
that he voted yes on this bill and
against the amendment to restore the
funding to food stamps
center or can you grew up poor
how dare you
