Chained CPI kicks families off Foodstamps, reduces EITC, WIC, School lunches

[FogerRox]

From CNBC

Taxes would slowly increase because annual adjustments to income tax brackets would be smaller, pushing more people into higher tax brackets. Over time, fewer people would be eligible for anti-poverty programs like Medicaid, Head Start, food stamps and school lunches because annual adjustments to the poverty level would be smaller, leaving fewer people under the official poverty line.

Create jobs, raise minimum wage and watch the FICA roll in.

Truer words were never spoken.

11. Bracket creep on the Obamacare surtaxes, I guess.

4. Create jobs? In this country? If that is not contrary to WH policy, why have three

let's-send-jobs-to-foreign-countries "free-trade" agreements been signed?

8. Barack Obama (2006): "This is not a bloodless process."

"Too many of us have been interested in defending programs as written in 1938."

9. Not a "bloodless process." Process....not bloodless just a process...

Direct hit at FDR's "New Deal" policies.

It's not comforting to hear from our President that "blood" will run. Whose blood though?

10. When every dime taken from the needy is used for war, it is not bloodless

But it is blood money.

17. The blood of the innocent and powerless.

I got my first post ever hidden today at DU because of how far my opinion of POTUS Obama has dropped.

The pols that support corporations and the military over the innocent and powerless cause blood to run.

19. You are not alone.

The anger is growing as the assaults on the 99 percent by those who claim to represent us become more brazen.

15. Cut it all and then some from the bloated military.

Problem solved.
