    House Passes the Farm Bill…Without Food Stamps

    House Passes the Farm Bill…Without Food Stamps

    july 11, 2013 by steven ahle

    The house narrowly passed a farm bill today. Not a single democrat voted for it and about a dozen republicans voted against it. The mean spirited old white women and black women in the party that has declared war on farmers are ready to have a cow. Before voting on the bill, the republicans separated the farm bill and food stamps.

    Enrollment under the food stamp program has increased by 70% under Obama. I can’t understand that. I mean just because Obama has for five years, ignored the economy and jobs, so that he could concentrate on the big issues like gay marriage, rationing healthcare for granny, and building a national park on the moon, you would think the number would go down, now wouldn’t you?

    The bill now goes to the senate and then possibly to a reconciliation committee. But not necessarily. Harry Reid could reject the bill out of hand based on the fact that Obama has promised to veto a bill that doesn’t include both. Let him. Then it can be on his shoulder or Harry’s and in 2014, when democratic candidates are running in agricultural states we can run endless commercials explaining how Obama and the democrats have declared war on the farmers.

    The senate bill only cut 3% from the food stamp program. That was not enough. Rather than hold up the part of the bill they agreed on with the democrats, they opted to split it. The house should cut food stamps by 18% and settle for 8 or 9%. The republicans should have cut the farm bill by a lot, but I’ll save that for another column.

    NO AMNESTY

    Don't reward the criminal actions of millions of illegal aliens by giving them citizenship.

    Finally, someone is stopping some of the rhetoric on the floor.

    Rep. Corrine Brown shut down on House floor after using Bible to try and shame Republicans
    The Right Scoop on July 12th, 2013

    Rep. Corrine Brown was arguing yesterday against removing the food stamps money from the farm bill and basically said that the Bible compels us to give people food stamps. Then she started this “Shame on Republicans” crap and got shut down by the speaker. She tried to contest as did a few others, but to no avail.
