1. I don't care who introduces bills cutting SNAP.

None of them has become law without Democratic votes and the signature of the President.

Some of our most allegedly liberal Senators have voted for cuts and none of the bills cutting SNAP have been vetoed.

We need to stop getting played by D.C. kabuki.

Also a general observation: there is a difference between farms and factory farming. I have lots of sympathy for the former and not all that much for the latter.

Many more Democrats have voted for cuts to food stamps in the past. And what about a cloture vote?	merrily	Aug 2014	#6
