White House pledges veto of GOP farm bill
Quote:

"Traditionally, farm bills are enacted by a partnership of rural lawmakers interested
in agricultural programs and urban supporters of food stamps and other public nutrition programs."

House Republicans are scheduled to vote on their own farm bill Thursday,
but the White House has already threatened a veto.

The Democrat-run Senate is also unlikely to pass the House Republican farm bill
that would expand a crop insurance program, but does not include food stamps for the poor.<snip>
Typical Republican behavior of late...They will pass this House Bill,
and then take their bat-n-ball and go home for summer recess.
