Hope Grim for New Farm Bill
The R Street Institute, as well as 16 other conservative groups, supported the amendment. R Street Policy Analyst Lori Sanders calls the bill “a terrible piece of legislation” and that Congress “can do a better job than this.”
R.J. Lehmann, a senior fellow at the R Street Institute, a conservative think tank, says he believes clearly there will have to be “significant changes” when the House takes the bill up again. However, he says Congress is more likely to extend the current bill before Sept. 30.
