WHEN A FARM BILL NO LONGER MEANS FOR THE FARM BUT ANOTHER SOCIALIST BIG CITY FUNDING WORTH 1$ TRILLION DOLLARS TO SUPPORT ILLEGAL ALIENS AND THOSE NOT WILLING TO WORK BECAUSE THE POTUS BHO JUST CANT BLOWOUT A JOBS GROWTH AGENDA–FARM BILL PASSES HOUSE WEDNESDAY–VIEW IF YOUR REPRESENTATIVE VOTED FOR THIS MONTROSITY

Last summer, the House defeated a status quo food stamp and farm bill. That vote sparked optimism among conservatives as it opened the door to meaningful reforms if Congress was willing to separate the bills and start over.
After a long debate, the two policies were rejoined behind closed doors and brought to the House floor for a vote. Despite claims of reform, the unholy alliance of food stamps and farm policy created a bill that spends nearly $1 trillion -- 80% of that money goes to the food stamp program.On Wednesday, the House passed the food stamp and farm bill, 251 to 166 (with 63 conservatives voting no).
Once again, about 80 percent of the bill’s spending goes towards the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), more commonly known as food stamps. There are now nearly 48 million individuals on food stamps, compared with nearly 31 million in 2008 and 17 million in 2000. Even after the dramatic loosening of eligibility standards contributed to one in seven Americans now collecting food stamps, the conference report contains minuscule reforms. All told the proposal is expected to save just one percent. That is below the 5-percent cut passed by the House last September and well below the 17-percent reduction outlined in the House-passed budget. The “farm” bill means more expenses for taxpayers and higher costs for consumers. It means more unnecessary government dependence for wealthy farmers and food stamp recipients.
