More than three dozen House Republicans — including a member of the GOP leadership — are pressing Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) to bring the farm bill to the floor this month.Behind Reps. Kristi Noem (R-S.D.) and Peter Welch (D-Vt.), the bipartisan group of lawmakers says reauthorizing the bill, which expires Sept. 30, is necessary to ensure the nation's farmers "can continue to provide an abundant, affordable and safe food supply."They're also emphasizing the importance of food stamps in the down economy and arguing the bill’s farm subsidies will stimulate the economy.
will the right vote and want to take out food stamps, given it's demonizing of the program?
"Agriculture supports nearly 16 million jobs nationwide and over 45 million people are helped each year by the nutrition programs in the farm bill," the lawmakers wrote to Boehner, House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.), House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and Democratic Whip Steny Hoyer (Md.).
"We have a tremendous opportunity to set the course of farm and nutrition policy for another five years while continuing to maintain and support these jobs nationwide."
with the election 4 months away will the right continue to spit in the face of "we the people, or will they keep their job obstruction and social net clipping?
