You missed something.
While you were busy passing a bill which, according to our friends at the fair and balanced Fox News Channel,
"makes mild cuts to the health care programs for the elderly, poor and disabled" and "permits exploratory oil-drilling in an Alaskan wilderness area," the article also notes you forgot something.
The bill "leaves the food stamp program untouched."
C'mon, guys. You can do better than this. All these poor people will eat another day!
Get on the stick.
