The bill, H.R. 1135, was introduced by Republican Reps. Jim Jordan (OH), Tim Scott (SC), Scott Garrett (NJ), Dan Burton (IN), and Louie Gohmert (TX). Its aim, in part, is "to provide an overall spending limit on means-tested welfare programs."
Jim Jordan (OH)- Evangelical Christian? Really? Up for reelection 2012. Tea supported.
Tim Scott (SC)- Evangelical Christian? Really? Token black guy in SC is up for re election 2012. Tea installed.
Scott Garrett (NJ)-'Non-denominational/ Evangelical Christian? Really? Birther. Tea supported. Up for re election 2012.
Dan Burton (IN)- "Non-denominational/ Christian primitivism/ Christian Zionist? Really? Redistricted in 1980, he's kept that chair warm since being installed. Lots of inbreeding going on in Indiana it appears. His daughter is on payroll, and his brother takes up another chair in another district installed since 1988. Dan's last election boasted 30% support in primaries. He's is up for re election 2012.
Louie Gohmert (TX)- Southern Baptist? Really? 100% unopposed primaries, no contested democrat or libertarian running against him since he parked there post gerrymandering 2004. Tea supported. Up for reelection 2012.
Sorry kids, it's all your fault that your mom and dad don't have work. So as your punishment we're going to cut funding for you, hope you can eat. I'm also sure, kids, that you understand our corporate donors need their wheels greased.
So the kids are going to starve? That's disgusting.

If YOU smoke cigarettes and YOUR children are starving, YOU'RE a disgrace.

If YOU own a vehicle that is more for show than basic transportation and YOUR children are starving, YOU are a disgrace.
If YOU EVER go out to eat, or order take out and YOUR children are starving, YOU are a disgrace.
If YOU spend money on vacations, or other forms of entertainment and YOUR children are starving, YOU are a disgrace.
