Obviously: White House issues veto threat on a farm bill without food stamps « Hot Air: "Heritage is totally owning on this issue, and isn’t shying away from calling out the House Republicans for the hypocrisy that is helping to perpetuate a so-called agricultural policy that isn’t much more than a complex raft of special-interest serving and completely unnecessary price supports, subsidies, and a complex crop-insurance system that basically functions like a federally-sponsored cartel. The whole point of splitting the farm bill up, as I said, should have been to make the two traditionally coupled food stamp and agriculture issues more scrutable — but did they scrutinize the new agriculture bill? …Not really, no."
