Look at the bright side it's a START on their obese children!

You think that millions of the people that have been out of work a year and a half haven't already lost the house, gone through their savings, are depending upon food banks for food, etc? And "they" all have obese children? Two million will not have any money for food in two weeks. Yeah, that's a real LMAO situation.

You're a piece of work.

Read again I said nothing about ALL I'd revert to Michele O for stats on what percentage of those kids are.

I'd wager that the VAST majority of unemployed are closer to a job than starvation but then again I don't live in KY so it may be different there.

In my area many of 'the starving' are selling food stamps for 50 cents on the dollar. Same w/their prescription medicine. And a lot of their kids are obese!

This is indefensible, which is evident since the Republicans didn't even defend it. They just no-showed.

just an fyi-the federal govt funds clinics with free testing and treatment already. congress currently funds this on a year to year basis. the clinics have said that even if the bill just filibustered didn't pass, they have plenty of money set aside to continue testing and treament for some time. altho i'd have to think that the yearly funding will continue...however, there is still thinking that the bill could pass come the next congress.
