The Farm Bill has been passed in the US House ... It now goes to the senate ...
It cost $100 BILLION
It cut the Food Stamp program by just 1%
That is ONLY 1/6th of what the House majority actually wanted ...
1% = $800 MILLION/year
Wow ...
Never believe when they say the Republicans or Conservatives don't compromise ...
I expect it to be denied in the US Senate .... I honestly don't think they will accept any sort of cut, rather they probably want an increase ....
M not sure whyFood Stamps are tied to the Farm Bill - to me they are two separate issues since Food Stamp Benefits can NOT be used at Farmer Markets, just grocery stores and ATMs ...
It seems against the Congressional Rules to me ....
Just because both items deal with food does not make them linked ....
Someone explain this to me please ....
