I noticed an article in the Daily Sun this morning that was revealing about Republicans - and in a Republican newspaper, too.

It said that the Republican led House of Representatives voted to slash $868 million from the Women, Infants and Children program which offers food aid and educational support for low-income mothers and their children.

This money would be used to fund a spending bill for farm subsidies. 72% of the country's farms are held by corporations and most of those pay little or no Federal income tax.

I would speculate the Republicans believe it is better to give farm subsidies to corporations which pay no Federal income tax but vote Republican than to give food aid and educational support for low-income mothers and children who vote Democrat.
