Pelosi: GOP’s Farm Bill Failure Is ‘Major Amateur Hour’

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) slammed Republicans after the chamber voted down their farm bill on Thursday afternoon, calling it "major amateur hour."

"It's silly. It's sad. It's juvenile. It's unprofessional. It's amateur hour," she told reporters.

She chastized GOP leaders for blaming the bill's failure on a lack of Democratic votes, denying their claims that she had promised 40 votes from her conference.

"Absolutely not," she said.

She said the farm bill's cuts to food and nutrition programs would have "taken food out of the mouths of babies."

3. The Senate's version of the bill, which was overwhelmingly voted for by

so-called Democrats, also takes food out of the mouths of babies.

4. 2 billion dollars worth

taking completely away from the mouths of children and seniors. Senate plan would have reduced the amounts of some but not stop it altogether and the majority of Dems wanted -0- cuts from SNAP but GOPers threatened to filibuster the farm bill.

The filibuster needs to be revised.

5. Republican FAIL all the way. As usual.

But they will find a way to continue the massive Republican Socialist Welfare Payola to subsidize rich-ass corporate GMO '"family" farms, Inc. while steadily, occultly wringing the neck of organics and Ma & Pa Kettle and their latter day offspring.
