"It’s perverse to weaken our nation’s first line of defense against hunger and poverty by $4 billion per year while giving hundreds of billions to big corporations that don’t need them. Here are a few examples of what your hard-earned tax dollars are spent on: $7 billion per year subsidizing the oil industry. $600 billion—15 times the value of proposed food stamp cuts—over a decade by allowing corporations to stash cash overseas. $1 trillion over a decade be allowing special tax exemptions and loopholes for multinational corporations and wealthy households. $137 billion over a decade by not negotiating prescription drug prices. Over $20 billion per year on farm subsidies. It’s not rational or right, but this is who they are. Conservatives aren’t being fiscally responsible; their policies are destructive to our economy.
