On Friday, President Obama added his signature to legislation that will cut $8.7 billion in food stamp benefits over the next 10 years, causing 850,000 households to lose an average of $90 per month. The signing of the legislation known as the 2014 Farm Bill occurred at a public event in East Lansing, Mich.

That's just basically a drop in the bucket for 18 trillion.

The fact he's cutting is a good thing.

Three fact he's cutting after expanding the food stamp rolls to record highs tells me that this will be blamed on the Rs for making poor people starve during the midterms.

Why is Obama stealing food from American kids, making them sick by exposing them to sick foreign kids, and giving new toys to all of these foreign kids?

Why does Obama hate American kids?

What's the catch? Where's that money going? To another handout?

If not, good for him.

These bills are meaningless when they make them over 10 years.

Are these actual cuts, or just reductions in future spending projections?

Better than nothing, but what's the cut relative to? Food stamp spending for 2013? Or, previously-planned food stamp spending that included an x% annual increase? Article lacked specifics and if this was answered when the bill was passed I don't remember
