There are probably more despicable clowns in the House Republican caucus than Rep. Stephen Fincher (R-Tenn.), but finding them would involve getting muddier than I feel like doing. Here’s a guy who’s gotten 3.5 million bucks in farm subsidies over the past two decades who is now demanding that the poor suck it up and do without $20 Billion in food stamps over the next decade.

I submit that the greater good would be served if he lost his access to taxpayer dollars in the form of farm subsidies while genuinely poor folk continue to get access to food stamps.
