DEMANDING DEEPER CUTS, HOUSE GOP KILL FARM BILL

From: democracynow.org.
The House has defeated the $500 billion farm bill that would have imposed radical cuts on food stamps for low-income Americans. The measure called for $20 billion in cuts to the food stamps program over the next decade. Nearly two million people would have lost access to food stamps, and 200,000 children would have been denied school lunches.?

After the vote, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi mocked Republicans, calling their handling of the farm bill a "demonstration of major amateur hour."
