In reply to the discussion: Kansas Sen. Pat Roberts: We must cut food stamps to save them [View all]Judi Lynn
(164,039 posts)34. Diclotican, you are kind to have shown us a vision of a real place
we can think about, a country where people are truly far freer than we are now.
Many of us grew up imagining our country was becoming more progressive, too, and witnessed our country's education system excelling, the illusion of racism nearing its final defeat, the end of capital punishment for a while, before the right started its program of taking control of our government.
It's so good to hear from you that your right-wing fascist element is not so powerful presently. We can ALL hope it won't ever change for your country. Just knowing it's possible gives us all a reason to hope we can someday make it happen here, too. We MUST have that hope!

The GOP's reasoning on Food Stamps is the same as it's reasoning on immigration.
