A Nebraska Congressman wants to move Americans off food stamps and onto new jobs.
Congressman Adrian Smith, a Republican, says the food stamp rolls keep growing, even as “help wanted” signs keep going up. Smith notes only 17-Million Americans received food stamps in 2000. . .
The food stamp, or SNAP program is part of the Farm Bill.
Smith remains optimistic a new Farm Bill will be passed, even though the current Farm Bill has expired.
The current legislation expired September 30th without a replacement approved by Congress.
