'5-year measure'? Sounds an awful lot like '5-year Plan'.
Didn't we fight the Cold War for 40 years to defeat the USSR? Looks like we're becoming the USSR.

Billions more for Food Stamps in this bill. Billions. Almost 80% of the total. But we cut military pensions for men and women in uniform who have been deployed 5 or 6 times - all to “save” $500 Million.

struggle that split the old farm-food coalition as never before and dramatized the growing isolation of agriculture and rural America in an ever more urban HouseThese are fundamentals behind the first war between the states.
Farm subsidies and other policy affecting farm production (to include the absurdly wrong-headed, immoral ethynol requirement) have become way too political and not based on good sense. Estate taxes that cause the sale of family farms to pay taxes is an evil that favors corporate, big farm entities, not to mention vast increases in federal farm regulation that hit family farms the hardest. I'm not an expert,but it seems to me that, with respect to our food supply, the federal government is DEFINITELY NOT our friend.

Can anyone explain why it is called a "Farm Bill" when 80% - worth nearly a trillion dollars = will go to nutrition benefit programs like Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, betteof r known as food stamps? How does keeping the free loaders in large urban areas qualify for the label "FARM BILL"?
IT SHOULD BE LABELED THE FOOD STAMP BILL AND AMERICANS MIGHT GET UPSET WITH THEIR REPRESENTATIVE GOVERNMENT. See how the lame stream media propaganda works?

Gazillions for Food Stamps and, oh, a little bit for farmers, too.
Food Stamps is the gorilla in the room nobody wants to tackle.

As little as $1 per year in fuel aid can be used to claim a higher utility deduction and leverage far more in monthly food stamp benefits, especially in high-cost cities like New York. By insisting that the fuel aid be no less than $20, the bill hopes to discourage this practice enough to generate $8.55 billion in 10-year savings. A portion of these savings is then plowed back into emergency food programs as well as employment and training services. This includes $250 million for a set of pilot programs to test new ideas to move unemployed beneficiaries back into the workforce.
This has absolutely nothing to do with farming.
I'm all in favor of actually helping real farmers by freeing their businesses from government restraints as much as I am freeing any other kind of business.
But those farming operations that actually put food in the ground and harvest it deserve our gratitude.
I have no interest whatsoever in calling a New York investor a farmer.
