SNAP benefits–formerly known as food stamps–provide temporary nutritional support to Americans struggling to get back on their feet during these hard economic times.
The program provides about $133 a month to help pay for groceries for a family of four.
This is a small, small amount compared to the $70,000 in subsidies Rep. Fincher received from the federal government last year.
In fact, Rep. Fincher openly supports an increase in crop insurance subsidies–paid for by the same bill that takes food away from the hungry.
Cutting programs for the poor, but protecting the wealthy?
That’s just a completely wrong interpretation of the Bible.
But so Republican.
