Over the past couple of weeks, I've worked on research into SNAP; visited the offices of Durbin, Harkin, McConnell, and Bachus for meetings with staff or Congressmen; and watched the House debate on a renewed Farm Bill which cuts over $20,000,000,000 from SNAP.
And I've had enough.
I'm very grateful for the members of Congress and their aides for meeting with groups of people last Tuesday, but I'm very disappointed in this Congress. Republicans seem out to cut everything they possibly can, and the Democrats seem to be sacrificing their integrity in the name of "bipartisanship" and "compromise" (from which they both are getting horrible deals out of this bill).
