Republicans: continued

There was already a problem with some baby food factories shut down a year or two back. Unsanitary.

'Republicans Push to Gut Food Aid Program That Helps Feed Half of All Infants in US'

Insisting they have to make tough cuts to government spending, some House Republicans are pushing to gut a decades-old federal program that helps feed 53% of all infants born in the United States, along with women through and up to six weeks after their pregnancies, breastfeeding women, and children up until the age of 5.

WIC, officially the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children, is a program under the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture. The USDA notes that it is “not an entitlement program as Congress does not set aside funds to allow every eligible individual to participate in the program. WIC is a federal grant program for which Congress authorizes a specific amount of funds each year for the program.”

Despite the growth in both population and food prices, some House Republicans, like U.S. Rep. Robert Aderholt (R-AL), oppose increasing funding for WIC, according to Politico.

“At stake: whether the government will have to begin turning away large numbers of mothers and their children from the program,” Politico reports, noting House Republicans are “pushing to pare back WIC spending this year, arguing tough cuts are needed across the government amid the nation’s mounting debt.”

I guess they are the after birth control party.

Say, are the Democrats still on board with 'elective abortion right up until birth'?

Because that's a bit less of a popular position in the US, than I thought.

[Brian Peacock]

Why not, if it's medically necessary?

Why not, if it's medically necessary?

I am of the position 'elective right up until birth'.

If you want to limit it, I don't think you fit with the Democratic Party. To my knowledge, they reject any limit on it.

Which kind of distances them from almost all voters, if asked on the matter.

For most people, like yourself when you say 'if it's medically necessary', they believe in some limits on it, in some way.

Almost none are openly as 'one-sided' as I am on it.

[pErvinalia]

Bullshit.

Thom Hartmann gives synopses of the dirty deeds and treasonous machinations behind every Republican president's entry into the White House since Richard Nixon.

'Why Has America Tolerated Six Illegitimate GOP Presidents?'

As we watch the Trump campaign prepare to replace 50,000 civil servants with fascist toadies if he wins the White House, it’s important to remember that Dwight Eisenhower was the last Republican president who believed in democracy, the rule of law, and that government should prioritize what the people want.

From 1960 to today a series of leaders within the Republican Party have abandoned the democracy that American soldiers fought the Revolutionary War to secure, the Civil War to defend here at home, and World War II in Europe and the Pacific to defend around the world.

This has brought us a series of criminal Republican presidents and corrupt Republican Supreme Court justices, who’ve legalized political bribery while devastating voting and civil rights.

None of this was a mistake or an accident, because none of these people truly believed in democracy.

This rejection of democracy and turn toward criminality and it’s logical end-point, fascism, started in the modern GOP with Richard Nixon.

He took millions in now-well-documented bribes both while Vice President to Eisenhower and as President (his VP, Spiro Agnew, resigned rather than go to prison for taking bribes). Nixon saw public service as a way to bathe himself in money, power, and adulation.

He didn’t care a bit about democracy.

[Brian Peacock]

Yeah, but what about the bad stuff?

[Cunt]

have any Democratic presidents respected the 'Republic' part of the US government?

[Tero]

Republicans have nothing to do with republics.

What does 'republic' mean in the sense of the USA? Or is it only a 'democracy'?

[Tero]

No idea, it's more than 3 letters.
