I strongly oppose this amendment. This amendment would shield over 82 percent of farm bill spending from deficit reduction and prevent the bill from addressing a serious breach in nutrition program integrity. Let me be clear. Tightening the LIHEAP loophole does not affect SNAP eligibility for anyone using SNAP. To add insult to this injury, this amendment then pillages money from crop insurance---- The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator's time has expired.
