If it is true that 200,000+ Idahoans are currently eligible for, and receiving food stamps . . .

WHOSE FAULT IS IT?

Idaho has had a Republican governor since 1995 and a Republican-controlled legislature since Christ was a corporal.

Corporate Idaho has been the beneficiary of major tax cuts at the cost of budget cuts to major programs (education and mental health care most recently), all under the guise of "trickle down economics".

And if "Mittens" (Romney) is elected president, Medicaid will become solely the responsibility of the states.  Now THERE IS A SCARY THOUGHT.

Seeya at the polls, Moscow, because . . .

> SNAP aka EBT aka food stamps is a win / win for Republicans. They're great for businesses that sell food and they provide a good rallying point against big government / government dependency / nanny state.  My crystal ball has the food stamp program continuing to expand courtesy of the Republicans.
