“I appreciate that. So we go through this bill here and we look at the cuts. Medicaid cuts on poor and working-class families who are trying to get some health care for their kids, student loan cuts $14.3 billion; $24 billion in reduced child support collections. It is going to knock 300,000 Americans off food stamps. Many of them have been displaced because of the natural disasters. 40,000 kids are going to get kicked off school lunch programs. Foster care is going to take a hit of 7 or $800 million, I believe. Veterans are going to get cut $600 million. There is a funny thing here because at the same time all this is going on, our friends who make more than a half a million dollars a year are going to receive a tax cut worth $70 billion. So as all of these programs on college students and their parents, Medicaid, child support, food stamps, veterans, foster care are getting cut, there is going to be $70 billion in tax cuts for people who make more than a half a million dollars a year; and before I yield over there to my friend from Florida, there is something funny about this list that we have here. I am looking at this: poor kids and poor mothers on Medicaid, who have their kids on Medicaid; college students who are just trying to get a better life, improve themselves; kids on child support and mothers who are receiving child support; people on food stamps; kids and families who qualify for the school lunch program; veterans.”
