...of course he didn't do it for the right reasons, but a good thing anyways.

Look, both Maddow and Buchanan are correct, the biggest two issues with this program are 1. it's underfunded and 2. it's being abused. It is a great idea, however paying for it via a sin tax only encourages the sin.To maintain a program such as that using the taxes from cigarettes forces the production of new smokers,not to mention that the proposed increase would have put the cigar industry virtually out of business in the USA. Though many might be totally for that, doing so would create a monumental unemployment rate. Increase the regulations; Individuals who are making way over the poverty line are somehow using this program, that's not what it was intended for and find the funding elsewhere; Cut spending and reallocate.
