"McGovern's comments about the need for these programs, and the fact that we are talking about them is not a reason to cut them unnecessarily or make them go away without good reason."

"I mean it was a very thoughtful study of our deficits, and how we get to a balanced budget and how we proceed forward, and that we should not be putting people into poverty as a part of that process."

"Every decision has a reaction, and every act has an act on the other side."

"SNAP works. And, Mr. Greenstein, you just made that point that it is a well-run, efficiently-run, effective program, and we should be proud of this program."
