Bill would cut $40 billion from food stamps.

Federal.

I doubt it gets anywhere in the Senate though.
I read somewhere, I'll see if I can find it, that this was something that they were going to hold strong on until the Dems agree to re-work Obamacare.Disclaimer: The content posted is of my own opinion.

Yeah. This isn't going anywhere.
And $4B a year is laughable.

Re: House passes bill against Food Stamps
YOu wouldn't be saying that if you worked for the Gov't. I was furloughed back in the
90s when GOP lost their show down and the gov't closed, however we still got paid
and laughed because we got a couple of extra days off.
However, my former agency furloughed the entire damn place all summer. NO one could
work on Fridays and MOndays. I know guys that lost $500 pr mo. Nobody laughed then.
They went back to work first week of Sept and are cringing at another shut down.
The bad thing about it was the agency had the money to pay them via supplemental funds
but MED COM, the parent command, wouldn't let them use it. They didn't care about
the employees.
Supplmental funds are in addition to the budget handed down by the Pentagon. We
generated them because we are one of the few gov't agencies that operates as a business.
Thats because we have expertise that private businesses, local gov'ts and foundations need so they contract us.
We send employees all over the world on jobs like ground water and air pollution and even
noise pollution and even hospitals concerning industrial hygiene issues ensuring they
are in compliance with Federal regulations.
They generate millions but the pentagon wouldn't let them disburse them
to furlough employees and that sucks.Last edited by AirFlacco; 09-20-2013 at 11:30 PM.
