A couple thoughts here.

The people who receive food stamps are not much likely to riot because they are mostly seniors, the disabled, sole support mothers and their children. Not the sort of folks who are able to "take it to the streets."


As for Songwronger, I am puzzled as to why you are outraged that they are cutting benefits you oppose.

And for the rest of you-Congress's Food Stamp benefit cuts (or, to be more precise, Congress's refusal to extend benefit adjustments) are just about the most cold-hearted
and mean-spirited thing they've ever done. The rest of the world has been talking about it
since Summer. Why is Songwronger the only one who bothers to talk about it?
