They want a vote on the Goodlatte Bill about wall, everify, chain migration, etc.
They want to block the rino push to have dems vote a pure amnesty/Daca bill
What constitutional authority does Congress have to decide what goes on on farms around the country?
Can we just cut all subsidies for Ethanol and use it to drill off San Francisco?
No wall construction? What me worry? I need my corn bill.
Also RINOs voted against it because of the work reaquirement for food stamps.
Thery may come back with a nill w/o that and get Dem votes. That would be a disaster, but you never know with these guys.

What is a “strong” bill? Is that another name for a fat bill?
That’s it Conservatives! Give Ryan and the global political rinos H E double hockey sticks! Hang in there farmers!
Has PDJT tweeted at all about the farm subsidies? I’d be interested to know his take, being in business for so long and how much palm-greasing, glad-handing and circle-jerking goes on in the Real Estate/Construction industry, which you can sort of equate to Big Ag.
The farm bill, as it stands is utterly (udderly!) ridiculous. We farm on a small scale, and we are in two programs that give us tax breaks, but no checks mailed to us. One of them is a Wildlife Management Area in our woods to help grow big Bucks and the other is the way we fertilize to protect waterways and groundwater and we ‘contour’ plant, alternating corn, soybean and hay to prevent erosion on our VERY hilly crop land.
However, there are HUGE operations in our area that get ridiculous subsidies for all kinds of stuff. There’s an empty field nearby of at least 100 acres that sits fallow, year after year because someone is paid NOT to grow anything on it to keep crop prices a few cents higher.
It’s all so out of whack. I really feel for our Wisconsin Dairy Farmers; they take it in the shorts year after year. :(
Is this really a bad thing? Does its failure mean no more food stamps?
Looks like a few conservatives have finally found their brains. No deals where all they get is a promise for possible future action.
“Before the farm bill failed, the freedom caucus had called for a vote on a conservative bill that would boost border security and support the construction of a wall, among other changes. GOP leaders had offered for the House to consider the measure in June in exchange for support on the farm package ....”
Yeah, the old “I’ll gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today” lie.
