From WMUR’s CLOSEUP:
“It’s still a $70 billion cost,” said Majority Leader Jeb Bradley, referring to the national cost of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. “New Hampshire taxpayers are federal taxpayers, and I think we need to respect that.”
Respect? Well, my, my – how CONVENIENT, eh? When it came to passing Medicaid Expansion the first time (lying directly to my face and trying to pass it off as a “conservative” implementation), he was ALL about the free Federal money? He crowed that it wouldn’t cost NH taxpayers anything – the schmuck wanted all of us to believe that the ObamaStash was free money. And with the Federal monies going to ratchet down (and even faster if the DC Republicans can finally get themselves a backbone and figure out how to get out that that sopping wet paper bag they encased themselves in.
Yet, when it comes to this issue, that of tightening up the SNAP (food stamps) eligibility requirements (which are entirely Federally funded), he finds tax religion.
What a schmuck; such the hypocrisy.
