Trump administration's farm-bill outline emphasizes work as a food-stamp goal

A Trump administration outline for farm legislation calls for pushing some food-stamp recipients back to work, a GOP priority.A four-page document released by the U.S. Department of Agriculture on Wednesday called for supporting "work as the pathway to self-sufficiency, well-being and economic mobility for individuals and families" on food stamps. The administration didn't specify how it would change the law or whether it wants to cut funds for the program. The outline -- described by the administration as a statement of principles -- is meant to guide legislation proposed in Congress, Perdue said in an interview in his USDA office last week. The White House is ready to get more deeply involved if lawmakers veer far from the administration's approach, Perdue added. "You will see more of an evolution than a revolution" in this year's law, Perdue said. "There are some things that we can do and will propose to do in the farm bill that can be helpful."
