“I want to address one other issue with respect to agriculture, because this is critical. The President talked a lot, when he came here in this very House in his State of the Union address, about crop insurance reform, something that is so desperately needed by our farmers. Yet in his budget he provided zero dollars for crop insurance reform. In our budget that we are going to vote on today we are providing $6 billion for crop insurance reform, in addition to what we currently have, to be used over the next 5 years to truly come up with a meaningful, sustainable crop insurance reform program that is going to be of benefit to every single farmer all across this great country.”
