191. What do you expect when you argue that a cut in a program for the poor isn't one? I get that
there are people that feel the need to defend the indefensible but seriously did you expect such an argument to pass muster? You can't argue that they didn't cut money from a program for the poor by arguing that they'll reinstate the funds. It's a cut. The reinstatement is happy talk which may or may not actually come to fruition and as I'm not a damn fool I don't count money promised as money in my hand until it's actually put in my hand.
