The 217-210 vote was a major victory for Majority Leader Eric Cantor of Virginia and largely cast along party lines. All House Democrats and 15 Republicans voted against slashing the budget for the program.
Despite its passage in the House, the bill is unlikely to make it through the Democrat-controlled Senate.

Pelosi is hoping for divine intervention...funniest thing I have heard all day!
time for the party to END.
SO WHATS THE POINT OF THIS IF THE DEMS VETO IT?
It's about time. If you won't work for it, I say starve to death.
Cue the Democrat standard propaganda--Republicans want women and children to STARVE!!!! Republicans are taking food out of the poor childrens mouths!!!!! Republicans want children to die!!!!! But we Democrats murder millions of unborn children--no big deal!!!
Great idea. But once this bill gets to the Democ-Rat controlled Senate It Will Die There. Harry "Whorehouse" Reid will "instruct" his comrades Mikulski and Cardin from Maryland and also Coons and Carper from Delaware, to VOTE AGAINST this bill. I would bet my last dollar on it.
It wouldn't be the 1st time.

we all know this but at least the house is trying, now it is time to pressure the senate
How can you support such outrageous cuts to one of our most critical safety-net programs?
I ask you one question: What would Jesus do?
I'm going to bet he wouldn't say "If you won't work for it, I say starve to death."
Maybe we should pray on this a little?
8:36 Just republican'ts jockeying for votes from their sheeple. No different than democraps rolling out their gun grab bills.
Republicans are like bullies on the playground. They can't come up with any real solutions so they just grab their ball and go home. Bible thumpin, non-Christians.
9:17 I see you once again offered a sustainable solution. Moron.
Human beings are no different than any other animal when it comes to forming a dependency.Real panic has set in on the street in anticipation of this passing.Food banks have reiterated that they don't deal directly to the public,and for good reason.They know what our society has created.Even the major grocery stores will be impacted by the cutback.
Change the system! When I was a child, we got assistance. Dried beans, evaporated milk, peanut butter and a few canned goods. I didn't starve to death. I wasn't malnourished. I am disgusted to see what people are able to purchase with food stamps/obama cards. Want to cut billions? Cut out what can be purchased then see how many apply for food stamps. No more crabs, steak, ice cream, etc. Evaporated milk goes a long way!

BINGO!!
And that government cheese made the best mac & cheese ever.
I agree. Go back to a real subsistence program, not the sham it is today.
