There has been an assault on the well being of poor children this year on both local and national levels. (Chicago closes 50 public schools and lays off hundreds of additional teachers; Philadelphia closes 23 schools; and Head Start programs are cut in multiple states due to sequestration.)
So it shouldn’t be surprising that the House of Representatives passed a farm bill without including funding for food stamps which will increase hunger amongst the most vulnerable in this country, poor children.
It seems that eating the seed corn was not enough to sate the feral appetites of privileged politicians, their crowd psychology further demands the food of poor children.
