Jordan's concerns include the fact that the vast majority of the funding in the Democrat-authored farm bill would now go to food stamps instead of farm programs. "It's bad enough that Democrats only allow 14 percent of the bill's funding to go to farm commodity programs," said Jordan. "Now they want to fund their runaway social programs with yet another tax increase." Jordan said that the normally bipartisan bill is being derailed by the tax hike move. | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T21:14:27Z |
