"The U.S. Senate has passed a version of the farm bill that includes cuts to the food stamp program and an expansion of crop insurance viewed as a boon for big agribusiness. The bill passed with an amendment by Republican Senator David Vitter to ban people convicted of a violent crime from ever obtaining food stamps. Overall it cuts the program by about $400 million a year. A version of the bill approved by a House committee last month would cut food stamps by about five times that amount."
