FEDS cut Ohio food stamps by $50/mo


Posted: Nov 12, 2012

“This is a federal issue,” said Joel Potts, executive director of the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services Directors’ Association. “It is what it is. They have a formula. ... We just think it is going to be really hard on families and individuals. They will see significantly less money starting in January.” http://www.toledoblade.com/State/2012/11/12/Ohioans-food-stamp-aid-to-be-cut.html;

The food stamp program is under the Farm Bill. The 2008 Farm Bill expired Oct. 1, and Congress recessed for the elections without agreement on the 2012 update.

Congressional leaders need to decide pretty quickly whether the Farm Bill will be passed in the current lame duck session, or if it will be put off to 2013.

Farm policy experts on Capitol Hill differ on the route they expect Congress to take. But one possibility is that its passage gets linked to the tax increases and spending cuts the lame duck Congress and President Obama need to make to avoid the so-called “fiscal cliff.” Without such an agreement, automatic spending cuts and tax increases will take effect at the end of the year.

Yep. Hence the use of the subjunctive mood of the verb "could" - in the article's introductory paragraph.
