The Commodity Supplemental Food Program, which provides nutritional food packages for less than $20 a month to more than 400,000 low-income elderly people, one-third of whom are over age 75. (courtesy Mother Jones)
One of the programs gutted in the budget. These people most likely served their country at one point in the war to stop the spread of facism, remember that one? WWII?
We're spending billions of dollars a day in Iraq but we are now going to deny grandparents food supplementals. The cable talking heads should be all over this one, where's Bill "the little guy" O'Reilly?

Bill O'Reilly is fascinated with his other 'little guy'...*ahem*
The problem is NO ONE is championing the cause of the 'average joe American' - that is how we got into this mess...the Republicans have been good at making 'average joe' believe they have their best interests at heart, even though they are the bastards weilding the knife in further.
Perhaps the Dems can find a pair and capitalize on this, instead of unleashing lap dog Pelosi on it - who gives instant apathy to anything that we should be up in arms about.
