Republicans choose weapons for foreigners over feeding hungry American children

Sounds hyperbolic, but its true.

The Ryan budget that House Republicans passed last week cuts billions from vital social programs, including food aid for poor, American children.

But the House panel that controls military spending recommended nearly $850 million additional dollars from American taxpayers to build a missile defense shield for Israel. That’s $850 million dollars that will line the pockets of defense contractors to build a missile shield for a foreign country.

But this is what House Republicans want; cut Medicaid and Food Stamps for poor Americans who don’t matter and increase funding for the military of a foreign country. Poor people vote for Democrats, so who cares about them? To paraphrase former Congressman Alan Grayson, Republicans want these lazy Americans and their worthless kids to DIE QUICKLY. But at least Republicans can say they are more supportive of Israel (hoo-hoo … kill the poor! … help Israel, instead!).

Looks like this kid has a poor work ethic, anyway …
