Once the Republicans cratered the economy, they've determined their fellow citizens should be starved to death as further punishment for not supporting their agenda of "you're on your own".
Heaven forbid the citizens receive the benefit of programs they, their grand parents and great grandparents put into place as a safety net during crisis.

LOL...starve to death ? Really ? Last I heard we have an obesity problem in America, not a starvation problem.
i didn't watch clinton's speech but i have to wonder about the strategy of saying that the economy is "messed up" when the democrats controlled congress for the last 2 years of bush's administration, and the first 2 years of obama's. (now obama has had 4 years and we clearly know that he knows what an executive order is and how to use it.
that seems like a risky strategy to win an election, especially since it is more "messed up" now.

Did it occur to you that there can be both?
Your above statement is like saying you didn't realize there were people earning less than $20K per year because last time you heard people earn more than 20K per year.

people might think about that.
Perhaps this will shed some light on your wondering.

What Republicans don’t want to acknowledge is the role they played in expanding the food stamps program before President Obama ever took office. The 2002 farm bill—passed by a Republican-controlled House and signed by Republican President George W. Bush—expanded the food stamps program. As the Wall Street Journal’s editorial page correctly noted yesterday, “The food-stamp boom began with the George W. Bush Republicans, who expanded benefits in the appalling 2002 farm bill.â€

How many people starved to death in this country last year? give us a valid number and a link.
The question is: how many would starve to death had not there been a food stamp program?
None. Charities would take over.
