Last night, radio host Mark Levin interviewed Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL) about the recent U.S. Department of Agriculture agreement with the government of Mexico to “help educate eligible Mexican nationals living in the United States about available nutrition assistance,” which includes the US food stamp program.

Sen. Sessions explained that the funding for this program came from a “farm bill” in 2002, which allocated $800 billion over 10 years for the entire US food stamp program – meaning that 80 percent of this trillion dollar “farm bill” program is spend on food stamps, leaving only 20 percent to go to farmers.

Sessions also noted that the requirement, which allowed only US citizens to acquire food stamps, was eliminated in 2002, under President George Bush:

Levin: “Senator Jeff Sessions, Alabama, I have a question. I don’t mean to put you on the spot, I honestly don’t know. I mean, are- what is a Mexican national? And why are they eligible for food stamps when they come into this country?”

Sessions: “In ’96, they said you could not get food stamps unless you were a citizen. In 2004 - in 2002, that was changed, and so lawful-“

Levin: “Hold on now, hold on now. Changed by whom? Changed by whom?”

Sessions: “Well, Congress and part of the farm bill in 2002. By the way, the farm bill costs a trillion dollars over ten years. 800 billion of it, 80 percent, is food stamps. Only 20 percent goes to the farmers directly. This food stamps program has surged beyond anything anybody ever expected.”Scissors-32x32.png

I read a report that the USDA has implemented a partership with the Mexican government so that they can educate Mexican nationals in the USA concerning the USDA food benefit program.

 

The revolt WILL happen, of this there is no doubt. Its merely a qwexion of the political affiliation of the revolutionaries.

The above revelry is celebratory of election of an outright avowed socialist. The thing is that there's an image out there somewhere, where virtually all the revelelers were holding something OTHER than the French flag.

 

What do you believe will happen in this country when poop hits the fan?
