The Environmental Working Group along with the Heritage Foundation and Taxpayer Groups are opposing the proposed 2018 House Farm Bill, HR 2.
Taxpayers for Common Sense Senior Policy Analyst Joshua Sewell says the $ 867 Billion dollar measure fails to target farm program payments to those who actually farm.
Citizens for Government Waste Director of Government Affairs Allen Johnson says HR 2 allows several loopholes which increases those who may receive farm program payments.
Environmental Working Group’s Senior Vice President Scott Faber says HR 2 allows farmers and several of their family members, even if they’re not specifically farming get payments.
The Full House is expected to vote on the Farm Bill on Friday.
