CENK UYGUR: The House began debating a spending bill today that cuts $833 million from the WIC nutrition program, which provides healthy food to low-income women and their children. Appropriations chair Hal Rogers says, quote, "this legislation reflects hard decisions to cut lower priority programs, reduce spending in programs that can be scaled back, and target funds where they are needed most." So programs for the hungry aren't a high priority. Well at least they're honest about their Republican priorities. Now what was it that Jesus said? Give me your poor and needy, and I'll go tell them to pound sand. That's at least the Republican vision of Jesus.
