The vast majority of federal spending in the Senate farm bill, which is estimated to cost over $100 billion annually, is going toward food stamps, representing a 100% increase since President Barack Obama took office, according to Alabama Republican Sen. Jeff Sessions.

* DISGUSTING.

“This legislation will spend $82 billion on food stamps next year, and an estimated $770 billion over the next ten years.

* WHAT WOULD YOU ESTIMATE THE WASTE - MISUSE - IS IN THE FOOD STAMP PROGRAM? 90%? COM'ON, FOLKS... WE'VE ALL SEEN FOLKS IN FRONT OF US AT THE SUPERMARKET (MIS)USING THEIR FOOD STAMPS WHILE WE SCRIMP AND SAVE AND CUT COUPONS AND STICK TO SALE ITEMS. AGAIN... DISGUSTING.

To put these figures in perspective, we will spend $40 billion federal dollars next year on roads and bridges,” said Sessions, the ranking member of the Senate Budget Committee.

* YEAH? AND WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO STOP THIS NONSENSE, SEN. SESSIONS? HMM...???

“Food stamp spending has more than quadrupled since the year 2001. It has increased 100% since President Obama took office,” he said.

* STOP TELLING ME WHAT I ALREADY KNOW! WORK ON STOPPING IT!

“When the food stamp program was first expanded nationwide, about 1 in 50 Americans received food stamp benefits. Today, nearly one in 7 Americans are on food stamps,” Sessions said in a floor speech.

* HMM... SO IT SEEMS I WAS LOWBALLING THE ESTIMATE OF WASTE AND MISUSE WHEN I GUESSED 90%! ACCORDING TO THESE FIGURES, IT'S MORE LIKE 98% WASTE AND MISUSE!

* BOTTOM LINE, THOUGH... WHAT EXACTLY ARE THESE BOZO REPUBLICANS CALLING FOR? ME? I'D CALL FOR A 90% REDUCTION IN THE FOOD STAMP ROLLS VIA ELIGIBILITY TIGHTENING.
