Fuck the Poor.
That's the policy of the Radical Republicans. The New York Times reports that rather than cut the money going to rich mega-farms the Radical Republicans would rather cut food stamps and other food aid to the poor.

Cuts in food programs for the poor are getting support in Congress as an alternative to President Bush's idea of slicing billions of dollars from the payments that go to large farm operations.Rather than cut back of coroporate farming pork, "Senate Agriculture Committee Chairman Saxby Chambliss, R-Ga., said the $36 billion food stamp program is a good place to look for savings." Chambliss went on to say, "'I want this to be as painless to every farmer in America as we can make it.''' Yeah...hungry kids don't feel pain. They also don't write fat checks to Chambliss's re-election campaign or pay for Congressional junkets or provide cushy jobs for family members, they just go hungry.
