Chris McKenna at The Fray outlines the latest kerfuffle between Rep. John Faso (R-Kinderhook) and New York Governor Andrew Cuomo. Faso voted with all Republicans, 26-20, to move the Farm Bill out of the agricultural committee. The bill makes work requirements for anyone receiving food stamps much more strict. Cuomo said, via press release, that Faso is “resorting to the same divisive rhetoric we hear all too often in Washington today.... Faso’s assault on families in need and his despicable and cheap characterizations may please his party leadership, but they are against everything New York stands for,” Cuomo said, causing a similar, but very different, press release to emerge quickly from the Faso camp. “Cynthia Nixon has caused Andrew Cuomo to become unhinged,” Faso wrote. “His criticism of enhanced work requirements for the SNAP program – while at the same time increasing the ability of a food stamp household to own a safe car and maintain a small savings account – show that this Governor prefers divisive rhetoric over governing.” McKenna guesses that there have been at least four press release wars between Cuomo and Faso this year as we enter month five. In New York more than 2.8 million receive SNAP benefits, or food stamps. And, McKenna concludes, this whole argument is just for show. "The SNAP proposals have little chance of passing in the narrowly divided Senate, where supporters would need all or most Republicans plus some Democrats on board to reach the 60-vote threshold," he writes.
