Yet another of the sophmoric attempts at policy making by the House GOP got called out by the Washington Post's Jonathan Weisman today. This time it's the ill considered budget cutting agenda being persued by the winger's in the House:
It was unfortunate political timing for House Republicans: On Friday, as the Agriculture Committee was drafting budget-cutting legislation that could knock 295,000 people off food stamps, the Agriculture Department released findings that 529,000 more Americans went hungry last year than in 2003.
The juxtaposition neatly encapsulated the problems that Republicans will have this week and next when they try to put their rhetorical zeal for spending restraint into legislative action.
