Just left a hearing in which proponents of SF494 called working class Iowans lazy, refused to acknowledge that SNAP dollars come entirely from federal funds, and gleefully asked the state to kick people off programs that feed their families.
Disgusting.

Fits with their thought process that people who want help are too lazy and need to work harder.

Totally disgusting. The stereotype that poor people choose be poor because they are lazy takes the spotlight off of the real issues: stagnant wages and corporate greed.

The money to pay for these programs comes from taxpayers - if ya want these programs to continue we need more taxpayers not more tax takers.

and there was more that one "person of god" who was advocating this. Imagine Jesus doing resource testing prior to offering to help the sick and poor.

Why isn't all media reporting this vile and disgusting behavior! All Iowans should be outraged at the cruelty but people just don't seem to care about anyone but themselves!
