A half of a trillion dollars is a lot of money. No doubt that the press will be all over this as an money rightfully theirs, equating that with a restriction of liberty.
My opinion is that money does not equal liberty if taken from me and granted gives you liberty.
As far a food stamps are concerned, I am sick to death of standing in line waiting for some fat woman to get off her Blackberry phone, while she is thumbing through her food stamps in her designer handbag. If she's got money for the bag and the fancy phone, things I don't have enough cash flow for, she shouldn't have rights to food stamps. No doubt this lady has got a damned big screen television in her house. Food stamps should be for people living in poverty.
Eligibility for food stamps has expanded because there is excess money in the food stamp program.
An inexact science, yes, but a reduced funding should bring to pass a more difficult threshold to attain.
Rand Paul is starting our right by practicing what he preaches, today he proposed.
As reported on Kentucky's Fox41 site.

FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) -- U.S. Sen. Rand Paul wants to slash numerous federal programs, including food stamps for the poor, to save $500 billion in a single year.A legislative proposal Paul introduced on Tuesday would slash $42 billion from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's food stamp program -- a 30 percent spending reduction. His proposal would eliminate numerous other programs, including the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, the Consumer Product Safety Commission and the National Endowment for the Arts.
Paul said the proposal would roll back federal spending to 2008 levels and eliminate what he considers the most wasteful programs.
The Kentucky Republican said he hopes his proposal will spark a dialogue within the Senate about how to repair the nation's economy.
