I would say that we would appreciate a strong safety net or a stronger safety net.
This delay hurts the American people, especially in rural communities where our farms are, and it injects uncertainty into our nation's economies.
It is clear that we need to come together, Republicans and Democrats, on a farm bill that strengthens the farm safety net, and we are going to do it together.
The world is watching us today on this very strategic national security issue.
