Definition of a Corporate right robber barren. He cares not for the American People but only protects the interests of big business. Big business cannot seem to find a way to hire the American People because they don't care about the American People--they care about huge profits only. Who elected this person to the U.S. Senate? Couldn't have been the American People. That would be like shooting ourselves in the foot.

“ Approximately $230 billion of those cuts would come from the   Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program  — often shorted to SNAP — which helps poor families afford food.   Another $880 billion would come from cuts to Medicaid, which provides assistance for individuals with limited resources to pay for healthcare. It’s also the program that covers most  costs for 60 percent of elderly Americans in nursing homes  . “ Both cuts would occur over a 10-year period. The story is about a proposed budget plan from House Republicans in the United States, introduced around early 2025, that aims to significantly reduce federal spending on two major social safety net programs: the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) and Medicaid.

•  Context of the Siege : The Nazi blockade of Leningrad (September 8, 1941 – January 27, 1944) cut off food supplies, leading to mass starvation. By winter 1941–1942, daily rations dropped to as low as 125 grams of bread (often mixed with sawdust) for civilians. Over 800,000 civilians died, primarily from hunger. •  (video)  Cannibalism Reports : •  Scale : Desperation drove some to cannibalism, though it was not widespread. Soviet records document around 2,000 arrests for cannibalism-related crimes during the siege, a small fraction compared to the city’s population of ~2.5 million at the start. •  Types : Two forms were reported: •  Necrophagy : Consuming already deceased bodies, often from corpses found in streets or homes. •  Criminal Cannibalism : Rare cases of murder for food, including isolated reports of individuals killing to consume others. •  Examples : NKVD (Soviet secret police) reports noted cases like a mother fe...

Statement by President Obama on the Passage of the Middle Class Tax Cut Extension

Image
July 25, 2012 With the Senate’s vote, the House Republicans are now the only people left in Washington holding hostage the middle-class tax cuts for 98% of Americans and nearly every small business owner.  The last thing a typical middle class family can afford is a $2,200 tax hike at the beginning of next year.  It’s time for House Republicans to drop their demand for another $1 trillion giveaway to the wealthiest Americans and give our families and small businesses the financial security and certainty that they need.  Our economy isn’t built from the top-down, it’s built from a strong and growing middle class, and that’s who we should be fighting for.  ###
