Obama's Ever-Expanding Welfare State - Where Are the Republicans?

From the Daily Caller:

While spending on the food stamp program has increased 100% under President Barack Obama, the government continues to push more Americans to enroll in the welfare program.

But... but... but... where are the Republicans? Haven't Republicans controlled the House of Representatives since January of 2011? Isn't today June 29, 2012?

The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) has embraced entire promotional campaigns designed to encourage eligible Americans to participate in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), or food stamps.

Such programs are FUNDED by Congress... are they not?

Where is Speaker Boehner? Where is my Republican Congresswoman - Nan Hayworth - and where is your Republican Member of the House if you have one?

A pamphlet currently posted at the USDA website encourages local SNAP offices to throw parties as one way to get potentially eligible seniors to enroll in the program.

“Throw a Great Party. Host social events where people mix and mingle,” the agency advises. “Make it fun by having activities, games, food, and entertainment, and provide information about SNAP. Putting SNAP information in a game format like BINGO, crossword puzzles, or even a ‘true/false’ quiz is fun and helps get your message across in a memorable way.”

Where's the Congressional oversight...? Where's the outrage out of the Republican House majority and the Senate Republican caucus?

Where's Mitt Romney on this...???

The agency’s most recent outreach effort targets California, Texas, North Carolina, South Carolina, Ohio and the New York metro area with radio ads.

The ads have been running since March and are scheduled to continue through the end of June — at a cost of $2.5 million — $3 million, CNN Money reported Monday.

I know, folks... it's often depressing reading my posts and analysis. Facing the truth is disheartening. But, still... it is the truth. Today's GOP is nothing more than the Democrat Party... LITE.

Speaker Boehner... Mitch McConnell... all they care about is who steers the deficit spending and thus enjoys the "power" of the debt-jammed "purse."

Will I vote for that scumbag Romney? Yes!

Will I vote to re-elect that scumbag Hayworth? Yes!

I've simply got no choice... and neither do you if you hope to at least possibly slow the decline.

But will I just "shut up" and stop criticizing Republicans out of some misguided "team" loyalty? No. Not on your lives, my friends! Hell... not on my life, my friends!
