One piece of good news: the republican version of the farm bill, with its $21 billion cut to the Food Stamp program, went down to an ignominious defeat today, as 62 republicans joined 174 Democrats to vote it down. (Although republicans who voted against it did so because they believed the bill didn't cut enough--no small bit of irony there).
Good bye and good riddance to another republican effort to make the hungry go hungrier and the poor get poorer so corporate America can suck even more on the teat of our taxpayer dollars.
Peace,
