Position

Voted
2013-06-20 Farm Bill [HR1947] Defeated
(195-234)
This bill would have replaced direct subsidies for some farmers while continuing them for cotton farmers and replaced direct payments with an equally expensive increase in subsidies in crop insurance. The bill placed no caps on subsidies for wealthy farm corporations.

2013-09-19 Food Stamp Reform [HR3102] Passed
(217-210)
The House passed a bill separate from the large farm bill designed to streamline the food stamp program which has seen major increases over the past five years. The bill also reduces waivers for childless adults who are supposed to be subject to work requirements.

2013-12-12 Tax-and-Spend Budget [HJRES59] Agreed To
(332-94)
This bill eliminates the spending reductions agreed to in the sequester, more than doubles the airline ticket tax and uses budget gimmicks to claim savings in future years for spending increases now. ACU opposes tax-and-spend budgets at a time when our national debt is over $17 trillion.
