Congressman McGovern says Republicans cut food assistance while hunger rises and prioritize tax breaks over families

Massachusetts Congressman Jim McGovern says in floor remarks that hunger in America was on the rise with food prices through the roof and half of Americans struggling to afford groceries as Republicans advanced a Farm Bill that locks in their one hundred eighty seven billion dollar SNAP cut from the one big ugly bill, a terrible policy that had already stolen basic food benefits from over two and a half million veterans, seniors and families with teenagers providing only about two dollars per meal, and she called on colleagues to vote no on the disastrous Republican Farm Bill and work to end hunger rather than be complicit in increasing it.
