I want to bring your attention to a brewing fight in Congress that will have a big impact on the appropriations process this year. It's the Farm bill. After lawmakers agreed to punt the debate on this bill last year, all the same divisions remain in a deeply divided Congress. There are many areas of debate and disagreement, but the dividing line over the federal food aid program, called SNAP, could be the biggest area of contention. And the deadline to pass this bill, September 30th, is closer than it may seem. Saul Elbein from The Hill joins the show.
