Policy analysts at the Center for Budget and Policy Priorities (CBPP) predicted<\/a> those costs are still too high for many states to take on and would likely result in states having to cut food assistance.<\/p>\n

\u201cDespite differences around the edges, the Senate proposal mirrors the misguided priorities and harmful impacts of its House counterpart: millions of people would lose some or all of the food assistance they need to afford groceries, all to help to pay for trillions in tax cuts skewed to the wealthy,\u201d CBPP Vice President of Food Assistance Ty Jones Cox said in a statement<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In a document<\/a> released with the text of the bill, Senate Republicans called the claim that millions would lose food assistance \u201cfalse,\u201d but did not provide clear evidence to the contrary.<\/p>\n

The Senate\u2019s bill also increases spending on farm bill programs including commodity payments, crop insurance, and conservation programs. Like the House bill, it would incorporate additional money from the Inflation Reduction Act into conservation funding, but strip the funding of its original designation for climate-smart practices.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
