Wasn't this (food stamp cut) made last Feb. 2014? If my memory serves me correctly. I'm just saying.
Under a 1975 Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) the USA guaranteed all Israel's oil needs in the event of a crisis. This Memorandum of Understanding is quietly renewed every five years. It commits U.S. taxpayers to maintain a strategic U.S. reserve for Israel, equivalent to $3 billion in 2002 dollars. Special legislation was enacted to exempt Israel from restrictions on oil exports from the USA. Moreover, the U.S. government agreed to divert oil from the USA, even if this causes domestic shortages. The U.S. government also guaranteed delivery of oil in U.S. tankers if commercial shippers become unable or unwilling to carry oil from the USA to Israel.

Back in 07' krsone said it. Stated that if you look at the demise of some of the american cities that have fallen they all had black mayors in the end. Not that they caused it but more of here is your turn and hurry before things fall apart.

I guess this means that even if the poor starve in the US we need to keep aiding foreign nations including Israel
What that tells you, we the American people, voters and tax payer are the last one in the list of our own government priorities

Only way to create jobs is remove the money from the elite who cant possibly spend it all and give it to poor and middle class who will use it creating demand on goods which will require companies to hire people to keep up with demand. it is just a fact. You cannot argue this point. it is 100% correct. We the people need to rise up and stop the theft, demand higher wages and maybe even a wealth cap.
Net worth more than billion? Spend it to keep it down or return it to the people creating it though hiring or higher wages. Simple law that would fix the economy.

Except Chicago. That one will always fall on the ineptness of its white leadership.
Harold Washington was the best mayor EVER and he was killed, but that is another conspiracy story.

Being honest, I can't even tell anymore. I just know what was reported Friday under the cover of Ferguson.

I'm not thinking nor talking about feeding the world right now, when America is starving its own.
The biotechnology company Monsanto genetically engineered the alfalfa plant to be able to resist the herbicide Roundup, a huge moneymaker for the company. This is done by invading an alfalfa plant cell through the use of E Coli bacteria in order to deliver a soil bacteria gene into its DNA that will allow it to survive exposure to glyphosate (the main ingredient in RoundUp). The plant thus becomes a GMO that is resistant to Roundup.

Depends on where you are at, and even then, you are still regulated by local and/or state government. Senate Bill S520C passed on November 30, 2010 made it a felony for Americans to grow their own food. If they choose to enforce this, growing your veggies would give you a smuggling felony. Again, when I was in Chicago, the city was adamant about salting the backyards of the old folks who grew private gardens. Only on the north side in predominately white areas did you have a CoOp situation and it was a lot of money to get into it.
