Urban-rural alliance breaks ADVERTISEMENT down on farm bill vote
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — For decades, country and city interests had come together every few years to pass the farm bill, a measure that provided billions of dollars in subsidies to farmers and businesses in rural areas and food stamp money for urbanites. No more. The recent defeat of this year’s farm bill — traditionally a sturdy, albeit lonely pillar of cooperation in Washington — highlighted how the country-city political marriage be- came yet another victim of partisan politics in polarizing times. The divorce throws into doubt the future of sweep- ing agriculture and nutrition spending. Here’s how the breakdown of a longtime coalition happened: Newly emboldened conservative groups pressured rural-state Republicans — many represent- ing agricultural districts — with radio ad campaigns to oppose the five-year $940-billion bill, calling its pro- posed cuts to food stamps too little. Hardly faultless, Democrats, whose districts mostly encompass urban areas home to food-stamp recipients, refused to budge on cuts they considered too deep. Each party was fear- ful of angering their core supporters. It was the height of partisanship over a measure that long had been devoid of it. “That kind of thing wouldn’t have happened at another moment in time,” said Rep. Allyson Schwartz, a Pennsyl- vania Democrat who opposed the measure.
