And, of course, now that the Republican assholes in the U.S. House have
voted to cut $40 billion out of the food programs for the poor, the
choices the latter have will be limited further.

---------------------------

First of all, they cut approximately $40 billion over the next 10 years
.... about $4 billion per year.
The eligibility and work requirements have been re-emphasized in order
to cut back on massive abuse of the program.

BTW, it's not just Republicans who recognize the program is out of
control:

The abuses aren't massive, and the GOP-passe cutbacks won't address them.

Fortunately, the Senate likely will trashcan this latest attempt of the
Republicans to crap on the poorest among us.

You have a way with words. Unfortunately it's not a good way ,or an
honest one.
