He is tired of taking care of you and having you jumping up in his face and lying down at his gate…US lawmakers eyeing $8bn in food stamp cuts

Greetings,

    You are now getting a taste of what is to come. Cut after cut after cut is coming. They know it ,but they will not outright tell you of what is going on, because they know that you still believe in them regardless of what. This is just a small taste of the class warfare that it is the pipeline for the poor.

  My beloved, we have got to take the responsibility of doing for self seriously. If we don’t we will suffer the consequences for not doing something for self. You are being forced into now.

   You do not want to be separated from your enemies regardless of what kind of treatment you receive and they do not want you separated from them, as long as they can hold you with them. ..”In a time when we should be showing the world that after one hundred years up from slavery, we are leading ourselves out of that slavery mentality, put in us by the white slave masters, they are acting worse than our fathers did. Our fathers begged, but they begged to go back to Africa where the white man brought us from.

 You give the most ignorant and disgraceful answer, saying that separation will not settle or solve the problem of white people’s disrespect of Black people. I say you should suffer his disgrace of you, since he cannot get you to go from him nor will you try and do something for yourself, without him doing it for you.”–pg.139(o.s.h.a.)

     You don’t want to hear the truth. You would rather parish under deceit than to accept the truth or the reality of what must be done and what is going on around you. This is foolish. I tell you this…” he is tired of taking care of you and having you jumping up in his face and lying down at his gate. He is tired of it, but he does not tell you. He will show you in actions. When he sics his dogs on you, turns his fire hoses on you and kicks you down in the streets, throwing you in his “lock up,” he is telling you all the time: “Nigger, get away from my door.” But you are like it is written. You take all of this humiliation.

  Just think: You have intelligent Black people disgracing themselves, begging the white man to create jobs for them and to accept them as his equal.”–pg.139(o.s.h.a.)

       US lawmakers eyeing $8bn in food stamp cuts

              —

Senator Tom Harkin (D-Iowa) told Reuters on Thursday that changing eligibility rules and disqualifying up to 4 million Americans who depend on food stamps would also help the US government save $40 billion over a decade.

As part of the new US farm bill, the Republican-controlled House of Representatives proposed to cut nearly $40 billion from nutrition programs, the largest cuts in a generation. However, the Democratic-controlled Senate voted to reduce food-stamp funding by $4.5 billion.

Food stamp benefits are the most politically contentious component of the first US farm bill since 2008.

“From everything I’ve seen, we are now within a few items of having this agreed to,” said Harkin who is a member of the select committee responsible for reconciling the bills passed by the two chambers of the US Congress.

Activists want to know whether the select committee has agreed to change eligibility rules in exchange for the relatively small cuts.

Last year, US lawmakers failed to pass a new farm bill and approved a one-year extension of the 2008 bill which expired in September.

If lawmakers on Capitol Hill fail to bring a new bill to the floor in January, Scott Faber of the Environmental Working Group said, Americans will “be looking at a two-year extension” of the now-expired 2008 law.

The Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program provides food stamps for nearly 48 million Americans.
