House GOP leaders suffer another setback, fail to pass farm bill

Nearly everything about the House Republicans’ farm bill was a mess.

At GOP leaders’ insistence, for example, it would’ve increased food insecurity for millions of struggling Americans by cutting the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. What’s more, the traditionally bipartisan bill was, this year, put together exclusively by Republicans. Donald Trump’s demand for punitive work requirements was, of course, also included in the package.

But, it didn't fail because of the fascist elements in the bill..... it failed because it wasn't draconian enough for the republicunt cocksuckers.

Complicating matters is that many in the GOP thought the proposal just wasn’t far enough to the right. It was a striking reminder of just how difficult governing can be in this Congress.

Would have been D-O-A in the senate anyway.  A perfect example of why the dems must retake the house.  These fucking idiots are out of control.

So;

How does this proposal line up with the one passed in 1996 ??

We'll probably never know, hyper partisan reportage is the rule now, and heaven forbid we have some actual facts to guide a decision  . . . .

Either this shit is in it or not. 

If House GOP leaders capitulate to their extremist flank, they end up with bad bills that can’t pass the Senate. If House leaders ignore the Freedom Caucus’ demands, its members block the leadership’s bills.

And this we have seen before!
