That these austerity measures were here for a while. I thought Teatimers were red blooded Americans that love and support the Military. The new NIMBY is NFMW (Not From MY Wallet). What a mess. I bet if you cut the WIC program the first two Senators that would scream and scream the loudest would be Repubs from Texas. Since the Dallas milk cartel controls over 25% of the milk produced in America. WIC is a guaranteed freebie for them in stable and sustained Government payments, but it is so much easier to vilify the poor single mother in America getting some help from the American people.

There defintely was nothing Super about that commitee.
