GOP: Those that won't get SNAP payments, don't worry. We're shutting down the entire government.

The GOP House voted Thursday to cut $40 billion from the food stamp program (SNAP), cutting 4 million poor, working Americans out of the safety net. Now, the GOP said, to start with, that there was that much fraud in the system. They used the Baltimore stores that were giving cash to those who handed the stores their food stamps to show how much fraud is in the system. I guess that the GOP thinks that since store are illegally manipulating the system, the way to stop that is to take the food coupon away from poor people so the stores can't abuse them. But then, the GOP decided that screwing poor people wasn't enough. They then took actions that will either stop 30 million Americans from getting health care, or they will shut down the government, affecting over 100 million Americans. So, in a way, the GOP told the 4 million that they want to take food out of their months: Don't worry, we aren't just screwing you. We'll shut down the government, affecting over 100 million Americans. Now, don't you feel better now?
