Fulcher Joins C-SPAN to Discuss Congressional News

Published | Video Starts at 01:37

Well, that got used as a bargaining chip last night in some of this debate that we're talking about. And my understanding is that's going to come back up again here. But here's what you got, John.

CLAIM

Asserts that the farm bill is $1.4 trillion, with about 70% allocated to SNAP.
