"I call it misplaced priorities. How do you justify doing something like this, while at the same time giving people like Herb Kohl huge tax cuts?" said Kohl, a multimillionaire.

LOL! Does he think he's Bob Dole, speaking in the Third Person like that? I can't believe he could put together a coherent sentence, actually. My Senator. *SIGH*

Herb could pick up this program himself and provide veggies & cheese to Granny with the chump change he has in his pocket. But that would be considered a duplicative effort were it HIS money and not ours. *Rolleyes*

"You try to stretch your budget a little bit," Mayek said. Without CSFP, she said, "I would have to adjust. But I raised 11 children. I know how to cut corners."

I have an idea. Why don't her 11 children provide her with some food? I would (and do) gladly donate monthly to my church to provide some assistance to the poor - which is how those whose families are unable or unwilling to help could be helped if this program were eliminated.

Liberals want to be charitable with my $$$

Oh, cry me a river. Mr. Kohl, nobody's forcing you to take a tax cut that you don't want.

If you want more of your money to go to the federal government, it's easy to do. Just write out a check for that amount, make it payable to the "United States Treasury", and mail it to the IRS. You can do that any time you want, nobody will stop you, and the IRS will take it.
