YOHO VOTES IN FAVOR OF FARM REFORM BILL

Today, Congressman Yoho voted in favor of the Agricultural Act of 2014.

After voting Congressman Yoho said, "This reform bill eliminates expensive direct payments, saves $23 billion dollars in automatic spending, repeals over 100 programs, and reins in the EPA. It also reforms the SNAP program to ensure recipients aren't double-dipping and receiving benefits in multiple states, ensures illegal immigrants and lottery winners do not receive these tax-payer benefits, and establishes a program to ensure that able-bodied adults work to receive benefits. It also includes my amendments that stop benefits from going to violent criminals and stops tax-dollars from being used to recruit and advertise SNAP enrollment.

It achieves all of these reforms while also providing food stability for our country. We tried being reliant on foreign countries for our oil and look how that turned out. We need to remain a nation that can feed itself. This bill achieves that while reforming the system--like ending expensive direct payments."
