Lars Larson says four Northwest Democrat senators voted ‘to starve the poor’
Lars Larson
The Northwest Nonsense
Twenty-eight days have passed since the Democrats shut down our federal government.
The House vote to pass funding back in July was bi-partisan. So was the effort to pass it in the Senate with Republicans, Independents and some Democrats voting yes.
Most Democrats voted NO. Republicans added NOTHING new to that bill. Democrats demanded $1.4 trillion in new spending.
In a few days, tens of millions lose their food stamps.
Republican Governors like Glenn Younkin of Virginia promise to tide the program over with state money till federal funding returns.
Governors Tina Kotek (Oregon) and Bob Ferguson (Washington) could do the same.
But Kotek and Ferguson believe shortchanging the groceries of one and a half million citizens this weekend plays to their political advantage.
The two Democrats believe you’ll blame the evil Orange Man in the White House when your EBT card beeps empty.
I’d suggest you don’t fall for it. Half a dozen Democrats in the U.S. Senate control that funding. Ron Wyden (Oregon), Jeff Merkley (Oregon), Maria Cantwell (Washington) and Patty Murray (Washington) could provide two-thirds of the votes needed. All four are Democrats and all four voted to starve the poor.
This bunch thinks it can turn hungry bellies into votes at election time.
Prove ‘em wrong.
