Senate Majority Whip Dick Durbin (D-IL) gave Face the Nation?s Bob Schieffer an earful:
When it comes to the Farm Bill, twice now the Senate has passed the Farm Bill by strong bipartisan votes, sent it to the House where it failed because they couldn?t even call a bill and this year when it was called even Republicans wouldn?t vote for it. Now they have stripped out food stamps. I listened to the explanation from Congressman Kelly. He wonders why so many people are receiving assistance ? [it's] because their wages and income are so low, they?re working but they can?t afford to feed their children; elderly people on social security not receiving enough to really keep food in the house. That is a problem we should face squarely. It isn?t a matter of defrauding American taxpayers, it?s reflection on the weakness in our economy for a lot of hard working families.
