“Good riddance to the House G.O.P. farm bill, which was both cruel and counterproductive,” said Joel Berg, the chief executive of Hunger Free America, a nationwide advocacy group that opposed the work requirements provision. “The bill, if passed, would have somehow managed to take food away from millions of struggling Americans while increasing government bureaucracy and intrusion into people’s private lives.”
People who are poor and starving should come before anyone else. The only bills that should be passed are the bills that provide more food for the people in need. Poor people should not have the little amount of what they already have taken away from them.
