Today, I voted against passage of the Farm Bill which cuts the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) by $8.6 billion over ten years. SNAP is the most effective anti-hunger program we have. In Massachusetts, 125,000 households may lose $70 per month in food assistance. Instead of stopping wasteful aid to the wealthiest farmers, the Farm Bill slashes SNAP benefits for the poorest Americans, the elderly and disabled. 1.usa.gov/1gKnX9L
