Meals for Oklahoma seniors facing reductions
budget: funding cuts to curtail nutrition efforts

Move out of mama's house and support yourself. The elder nutrition program had nothing to do with food stamps. The loss of those meals to the elderly will cause great suffering and hardship for many of oklahoma's most vulnerable citizens. They are the very citizens that fought in WWII, built our roads, paid untold amounts of taxes and now the very meager assistance they once had has been yanked out from underneath them.

This is a big thanks to the Oklahoma Republican legislature. By the way, I am a reqistered Republican and I will not vote for any legislator that voted for the tax cuts. They saved the average tax payer about $100 per year and took 100's of millions from our state budget. I would gladly have forgone the tax cuts in order to feed our elderly. This is a travisty!

Johnny boy...why waste time rather than getting to the point. You and your hungry family need to load up the pickem up truck and go back to Arkansas. When you get there, tell your Uncle Dad hi.

"I am at" Hahahahahah, that's the best you can come up with? Pathetic.

Screw Johnny....take away his foo stamps and let his sorry ass starve.

Tax cuts = Government spending. Will they never learn??? This is absolutely inexcusable; this is what the rainy day fund is for. But I ask, who's complaining about the stimulus now? How much deeper in the hole would Oklahoma be without our allocation?

But call it what it is, according to many of our friends out here in newsok.com land. Its socialism! Using government money to feed people. Who will be the first to stand up and proclaim this program to be socialist or the beginning of a socialist take over of our country if we continue to fund these types of programs?

How are those income tax cuts working out now?

By gawd, at least we in Okay See have our priorities straight. It's just more christian to give our money and healthy tax breaks to wealthy individuals in our entertainment district and downtown business district, where we trust they will put that money to work, unlike those lazy unemployed senior citizens. Gawd bless our wise and far seeing Chamber of Commerce, City Council, and Mayor's office.

The cities do need to pick up the rest of the bill because it really is the only meal many people get, period. But its also a social factor as many of the same people never get visits from relatives but maybe once a month if that.
