The GOP Is The Food Stamp Party

It’s a well-known irony that states that tend to vote Republican—the party that constantly raves about the “makers” and trolls the “takers”—generally take in more tax money than they pay out.

The 10 highest tax-producing states have all been “blue states” over the last few presidential elections. Of the 10 lowest, eight are “red.” Even within states, Democratic-leaning counties tend to consume fewer services for the tax money they contribute than red counties do—even though Democratic areas generally include large urban populations.

While food stamp growth ballooned during the president’s first two years in office, from 2010-2011 it only increased by three percent as the recovery began to take hold.

Yet during the 2012 election, Newt Gingrich constantly referred to President Obama as “the food stamp president,” a term whistling with “welfare queen”-like racial overtones. Despite Gingrich’s racial connotations, the majority of Americans who use food stamps are white, and they increasingly live in Republican areas.

Herman Talmadge
for a brief time in early 1947 and again from 1948 to 1954. In 1956 Talmadge was elected to the U.S. Senate, where he served until his defeat in 1980. Talmadge, a Democrat, was governor at a time of political transition in the state, and he served in the Senate during a time of great political change in the nation as well. As a member of the southern bloc of the Senate, Talmadge was a staunch opponent of civil rights legislation, but he began to reach out to black voters in the 1970s.

Talmadge's main focus in the Senate was the protection of rural America. He sponsored a bill creating the food-stamp program to assist the nation's poor.

His purpose in so doing was not only to aid those who were hungry but also to ensure that the nation's farmers would have guaranteed markets for their products. True to his conservative reputation, Talmadge advocated provisions in this welfare bill that forced able-bodied recipients to work for the benefits. He also championed bills aimed at creating programs to protect agriculture commodities through price controls.


OL' GENE TALMADGE WAS A "GOOD OL' BOY" THAT BELIEVED IN STATE MANDATED segregation! A true....DEMOCRAT!

It appears that old Herman Talmadge would be a republican by todays standard.Here's why :"Talmadge's main focus in the Senate was the protection of rural America" (White People)

UTB, Why do you whites always try to hide the fact that you are the largest group of americans on foodstamps?
