The Food Stamps “Crisis”
P. Schultz
July 12, 2013
Below is a
link to a NY Times article on the alleged “food stamps crisis.” Why is it that
the media play along with politicians in D.C. and allege or pretend there is a
“crisis” about this, that, or some other thing when, in fact, there is none?
Remember the “fiscal cliff” we were going over? Well, we did. Big Deal!
Of course
there will be money appropriated for food stamps and the only question is, How
much? What is going on is part of a bargaining scenario, one that makes both
the liberals and conservatives look good. The liberals can bellow about “the
poor, the poor,” and the conservatives can bellow about “the poor, the poor.” The
only losers here are those on food stamps and anyone who buys into the hype
about a “crisis.”
My answer
to the question above about the media is this. They play along for the same
reason that the liberals and conservatives play along: It suits their purposes
or serves their interests.
