80 percent????? Holy cow. Thanks for this, but I am not particularly stunned that the new article does not mention the food stamps. However, I guess it does allow the Democrats to say that Republicans are trying to starve children since it is 80 percent of the bill. Gosh no wonder people are freaked out and worried about losing food stamps….80 percent!!!!!! That is an astonishing number. Oh and don’t think I have ignored the farmers who are vilified but only receive 20 percent of the money and some of it is LOANS. How amazing is that????
The main actual benefit to farmers is somewhat subsidized crop insurance.
