From the article:
The food stamp program has become a target for conservatives in Congress as it has grown over the past decade. Nearly 48 million people currently receive food stamp benefits, and the program costs about $80 billion a year.
Many Republicans say the program is rife with fraud, with hundreds of ineligible people receiving benefits. The Agriculture Department says that fraud rates are low and that the people who receive the benefits need them because of a tough economy.

So we have almost no problem with spending trillions to stop terrorists from killing Americans, but keeping *poor* Americans fed? Yeah, we don't like that so much.
