“I thank Ms. Jackson Lee for her really profound and important remarks tonight. Mr. Speaker, I would close out our session here by just making an observation about the importance of this SNAP question. It is important legislatively because our friends across the aisle have broken from a bipartisan tradition going back a very long time now in the passage of the farm bill just to make it a partisan power grab and a push over everybody else in the body, but it also goes to the question: What kind of government are we going to have? Will this be government for the few or will it be a government for everyone? Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time. ____________________”
