The bulk of the Farm Bill is funding for food stamps, Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) said Thursday during an interview on Breitbart News Daily.
Sen. Johnson walked through some of the issues with the original 1,537-page continuing resolution (CR) negotiated by Speaker Johnson, which is full of pork. One of the stumbling blocks for some is the inclusion of the Farm Bill in the spending deal, but the senator said it is not what it seems.
“I guess, the leverage that is being thrown at us is, “We have to pass this because it has a Farm Bill in it, and it’s like, well, hold on,” host Mike Slater said, asking the senator to explain what that means.
“It’s a food stamp bill,” Johnson revealed. “80 percent of the Farm Bill is funding for food stamps, and Obama dramatically increased eligibility.”
Food stamps need to be publicized as they were previously -requiring additional id and manager approval.
It also needs to be restricted like WIC and disallowed at restaraunts.
Means testing for the recipients will reduce the incidents of fraud.
This was the big ‘gimme’ that got all the demoncrats to approve it and separating food stamps from the farm bill should be one of the first GOGE initiatives…then cut the program in half…
DOGE 😉
