Republicans Say They Won't Be 'Gutting' Food Stamps Anytime Soon
WASHINGTON — Congressional Republicans who oversee the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program released a report on Wednesday detailing the results of their two-year, comprehensive review of the program — and surprisingly, they don’t think it should be repealed or replaced.
“You will find nothing in this report that suggests gutting SNAP or getting rid of a program that does so much to serve so many,” Rep. Mike Conaway (R-Texas), chairman of the House Agriculture Committee, said in the report.
Although Republicans have long sought to slash the food stamps program — one of many government assistance programs that some in the party consider a barrier, rather than a bridge, to economic improvement — the committee commended its successes and offered suggestions for further improvement.
