The House Agriculture Committee on Thursday
unveiled its approach for a long-term farm and food bill that would
reduce spending by $3.5 billion a year, almost half of that coming from
cuts in the federal food stamp program.
The legislative draft envisions
reducing current food stamp spending projections by $1.6 billion a year,
four times the amount of cuts incorporated in the five-year,
half-trillion-dollar farm bill passed by the Senate last month.
Food stamps, formally known as
the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, look to be the most
contentious issue when the Agriculture Committee begins voting on the
bill Wednesday and when the full House begins debating it in the future.

Good. It's time Congress cut the money going to those freeloaders. And by "freeloaders" I mean farmers. They are some of the biggest welfare recipients in the country.
