- Thread starter Big Money
- Start date

That record has been broken each year since, with more than 47 million people now on the food stamp program.

How about we just blame Bush for his 4 trillion $ share of the National Debt, his undeclared, unconstitutional war casualties, the fucking “Patriot Act,” Gitmo, Cheney’s Torture Chambers, his un-paid-for, unconstitutional “No Child Left Behind,” “Prescription Drugs For Seniors,” the “Faith Based Initiative” and his humongous disapproval ratings that ended up getting the present Communist in the White House elected?????
