131. Spinning the humanity of cutting food stamps during a depression.

"Sensitive to the risky politics of cutting benefits for the neediest Americans, aides have been on a behind-the-scenes push to convince think tanks, unions and reporters of both the necessity and humanity of the cuts. In their telling, it is not a cut at all. It is merely a “technical fix” for years in the future."

Just a little tech fix, nothing to see here. The humanity of cuts to programs for the poor. That's the DLC for you.
