Ryan Budget Plans Cuts for SNAP, Crop Insurance

House budget proposal turns SNAP into a block grant, cuts more from crop insurance on top of farm bill cuts

Published on: Apr 2, 2014

House Committee on the Budget Chairman Paul Ryan, R-Wis., on Tuesday released his answer to the President's fiscal year 2015 budget proposal, cutting an additional $23 billion from crop insurance on top of cuts outlined in the 2014 Farm Bill.

Ryan, who crafted similar crop insurance cuts in last year's budget proposal, also suggests an overall federal spending cut that amounts to $5.1 trillion over the next 10 years.

The budget focuses on restoring cuts to national security funding, changing the tax system, addressing welfare, developing a plan for Social Security and eliminating waste, a budget summary said.

Paul Ryan's budget pproposal not only sticks it to the poor and hungry, but also to the American farmer. Rural voters who have grown accustomed to voting Republican because of the GOP's image-making as being the friend of rural folk ought to take a look to see if the Republican Party is the friend of the farmer as Ryan's budget proposal lets the Tea-Publicans' masks slip.

into opening their eyes completely about what the Conservative Right Wing Party stands for, and that is devastation so big money can come in and take over, removing democracy and the American Dream of self sufficiency over the price of commodities and over the price of having to sell the family farm to a millionaire congressman.
