Don’t you love it when the conventional wisdom gets turned on its head?
What was supposed to happen in Washington a couple of weeks ago—passing the pork-laden food stamp bill known as the “farm” bill—didn’t happen.
The special interests expected it to happen. Most of official Washington expected it to happen. But Heritage and our allies made the case that food stamps and farm programs don’t belong together in one big, fat bill.
Taxpayers deserve better. They deserve transparency about how their money is being spent—and bloated programs desperately need an overhaul.
Now, the House has a chance to get it right—and splitting the actual farm-related programs from the food stamps is only the first step.
