Debbie Wasserman Shultz - a little more information [View all]
I remember well, how when Hillary Clinton was a senator she and Pelosi would repeatedly give lip service to the Dems then cave to the Republicans and vote their way. What I didn't know was Debbie Wasserman Shultz was in that shite too. This one came after Hillary left the Senate:
"Today, the House passed the 2014 Farm Bill 251 to 166.
162 Republicans voted for it. 63 voted against it.
103 Democrats voted against it. 89 voted for it.
The Farm Bill contains $8.7 billion in cuts to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), commonly known as food stamps. This translates to a $90 per month cut to beneficiaries. This cut follows November's $5 billion cut from the program, the "hunger cliff" that the Democrats themselves created.
The deal also restricts the USDA from "advertising the SNAP program through , radio and billboard advertisements."
Nancy Pelosi, Steny Hoyer, and Debbie Wasserman Schultz all voted for the bill.
