House GOP Budget Slashes Food Assistance Funding

In an effort to control spending, House Republicans have proposed cutting $832 million, 12 percent, from federal assistance for low-income mothers and children, and a $457 million, 31 percent, from emergency aid and agricultural development dollars to poor countries, the Associated Press is reporting. 
The proposed budget also cuts federal funding for food stamps by $2 billion. 
The Food and Drug administration's budget under the proposed bill is cut by 12 percent, although new industry fees would fill in some of the lost revenue. Agriculture research and development would also lose funding.
