If the left is so worried about low income people reciving WIC or Food Stamps why did Obama cut funding for the food stamp program ? Why can't he get these people Jobs instead of food stamps ?

It appears that the Democrats want trains instead of the farmers growing the food that supplies the WIC program with the FREE food .
