Tea Party Ron Johnson helps hold up Farm Bill so he can starve Americans.

It’s official, conservative rural voters are getting just what they deserve from Ron Johnson.

It’s not like the one major part of the farm bill, the food stamp program, needed any real changes.

But during this time, when jobs creation has slowed and we’re still pulling ourselves out of a Great Recession, it seems odd to go after and propose cutting food stamps. But that’s how dumb Johnson is. Thanks to RoJo the Clown, his tea party contingent are now salivating over large draconian cuts to a program that helps feed American families who are out of work, or stuck in low wage jobs.

Journal Gazette: A proposal by Sen. Ron Johnson, D-Wis., to separate food stamps – officially known as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program – from the farm bill was voted down by the Democratic Senate in June.

The five-year renewal of commodity and nutrition programs is stalled in Congress in large part because of disagreements over how much money, if any, should be cut from food stamps. SNAP accounts for about $80 billion in federal spending a year, or roughly 80 percent of farm bill appropriations.

The Senate passed an ag bill in June that would trim $4 billion from SNAP over 10 years. The House Agriculture Committee approved $16.5 billion in cuts last month. Indiana Rep. Marlin Stutzman voted against the House plan and said Wednesday he favors $33 billion in SNAP reductions.

Thank you Ron Johnson. Maybe a little starvation will get people off their asses so they can find a few nonexistent jobs.
