Thanks for reminding us of another achievement by Bush, Cheney, Rove, Santorum. You want food stamps!?! We'll get your ass over to Iraq and Afghanistan. What a great way to solve domestic poverty. Is it one in eight Americans that are below the poverty line? Isn't that 12.4%? It gives new meaning to the "Mendoza Line."
