Understanding the SNAP cuts as a part of broader food and agriculture policy Author: Josh Tauberer - Categories: Legislation In The News More posts by Josh Tauberer . This evening’s House vote on the food assistance program SNAP is significant not only in the size of the cuts proposed but also by separating food assistance policy from agricultural subsidy policy . That pairing, which dates back to the Great Depression , has been key to the success of both policy programs. To understand the significance of the proposed cuts to SNAP, we need to understand it in a larger context. SNAP , which is the new name for the food stamp program, would be cut by $40 billion over 10 years if the House bill H.R. 3102 is enacted, according to The New York Times , or about $4 billion a year.

From Activist Post The map above comes from the Nuclear Emergency Tracking Center . It shows that radiation levels at radiation monitoring stations all over the country are elevated. As you will notice, this is particularly true along the west coast of the United States . Every single day, 300 tons of radioactive water from Fukushima enters the Pacific Ocean .
