It’s a win-win, help for the folks who grow the corn and help for folks who live on nothing but corn syrup.’ ‘But, last week, House Republicans agreed to an historic compromise on food stamps,’ said Colbert, ‘by eliminating the food stamps.’ ‘It is a principled conservative message based on the old adage, ‘Give a man a fish and he’ll eat for a day.
