I know of no Republican who blames the deficit on food stamps.
Abstract: The food stamp program is due for reauthorization as part of a new farm bill. It is the second most expensive means-tested aid program, increasing from $19.8 billon in 2000 to $84.6 billion in 2011, and President Barack Obama has proposed a budget to keep food stamp spending at sharply elevated levels for the next decade. The national debt has topped $16 trillion and will continue to grow rapidly for the foreseeable future. To preserve the economy, government spending, including welfare spending, must be put on a more prudent course. Congress and the Administration should transform food stamps into a program that encourages work and self-sufficiency, close eligibility loopholes, and, after the recession ends, reduce food stamp spending to pre-recession levels.
Hillary is as well. She plays a progressive when the polling is right.Oh don't get me wrong, I don't want a government, big corporation president in office.
Bill and Hilary really aren't either same. Bill was pretty dang moderate.
Even the democrats ' outsider' candidate has a long political resume. Meanwhile the republicans are divided among a collection of villains from Captain Planet, who have zero political experience.
Hillary's entire political experience involves being married to Bill, moving to liberal NY and winning a Senate seat based on her husband's name and then being handed a Sec of State position by Obama where she failed miserably. Now she's expectation to be handed the Dem nomination and the Presidency based again on her husbands last name.
That's a decent point, but it doesn't differ all that much from almost every other presidential candidate. Who you are related to matters a lot in politics. There's a reason why nearly all the presidents are blood relatives.Hillary's entire political experience involves being married to Bill, moving to liberal NY and winning a Senate seat based on her husband's name and then being handed a Sec of State position by Obama where she failed miserably.
