rules, you can get ahead. that is something that we all believe in and that we all care about. fantastic rhetoric, but your budget proposals paint a very different picture. your so-called path to prosperity budget would cut $135 billion from s.n.a.p. you know, the food stamp program that feeds 22 million american households a month. let s put that in perspective. that s more than six times the amount house republicans proposed cutting in their farm bill earlier this year. even that much smaller cut, $20.5 billion to your $135 billion would be devastating to american families. according to a new study by the health impact project, the comparatively small $20.5 billion cut could result in 5.1 million people losing their food stamps, including more than 1 million children. hundreds of thousands of americans would go hungry. is that something that we can all believe in, congressman?
with any stop gap measures like last year. the speaker should have known he couldn t pass what amounts to a partisan love note to the tea party. the speaker should dispose of the drama and delay. i want everyone within the sound of my voice to know the senate will not pass another temporary farm bill extension. but your voice is so quiet, harry. reid and other senate democrats are urging the house to vote on the senate version of the bill but the two bills differ significantly in just how much pain they inflict on the poor. the senate s $955 billion bill included $3.9 billion in cuts to food stamps over the next ten years. meanwhile, the house s $939 billion bill called for $20.5 billion in food stamp cuts over ten years. a cut so draconian it would throw 1.8 million people off of food stamps, mostly children and seniors. but house republicans don t seem eager to take up the senate bill. by the looks of it, they d
the house bill would have cut projected spending in farm and nutrition programs by $40 billion the next 10 years. 20.5 billion would have come from cuts to the food stamp program. so what s the status of the farm bill now? that s a good question. there s one more week before congress goes on a july 4th recess. i suspect we won t see anything until after that break. the big difference in the two bills, the senate passed voting last week that would have cut 4 billion. now known as s.n.a.p. you might walk in into a grocery store and see the sticker senior. on top of that, there was an amendment added just before the bill was defeat thad would require a lot of s.n.a.p. recipients to prove they were working and not just collecting a government handout. that infuriated democrats. it was at that point they said you don t have the 40 votes that we told you you might have because you went and added that work requirement.
