Ask Clinton to pay. His 1998 Iraq Liberation Act authorized the use of the US military to depose Saddam Hussein and his government.

Americans on Food Stamps have WAY too high an obesity rate. They don't need them. The poor who DON'T get Food Stamps have a much lower obesity rate. I already posted the USDA website that provides that obesity data. USDA administers the Food Stamps and other Federal Free Meals Programs.

my parents would help out with meals on wheels. they said a lot of the people didn't get interaction more than a few times a week. Even less now I guess, sad. What for? More war and death for causes that don't effect 99% of us.

Wow. I'm not a progressive at all but this post was just wild.

Are you really deflecting the beginning of the Iraq War to Clinton and not Bush 2003?

Your answer to a percentage of children being obese is to starve them out? You do know obesity is measured by BMI statistics which don't take in to account body fat %, bone mass and early growth patterns?

this website is eye opening imo. People truly believe some of this stuff. I guess we truly live in a world of "alternative facts". It's disturbing no matter what side of the fence you sit on.

Heartbreaking.

How can he propose doing that to those seniors?

You know they make great microwavable meals these days.
My aunt was on her own, health failing and early on set dementia. My sis was fortunate enough to be able to see she was fed and people from the church and community helped. She got so contrary though that she wouldn't eat the stuff that was brought to her, she wouldnt eat microwave meals either. At the end she was living on crackers and M&Ms.
As she grew older, she didn't eat as much. There was always fruit, cold cereal, sandwiches so no, she didn't eat just once a day. Sheeesh.

Yes but every study of the proposed tax cuts suggest an increase of the deficit. As you say simple math.

Worst part about this proposal is that Trump is only 2 months in---- what else does he and his administration have in store for Americans? Very concerning.

Because when you don't cut spending the deficit will increase. It's about spending. Simple logic.
