Brad Plumer writes that conservative Republicans thought the bill didn’t cut enough and the Democrats did not agree with the cuts to food stamps.
The bill proposed $744 billion in food stamp spending, a $20.5 billion cut to the program over ten years while the Senate version of the bill cut only $3.9 billion over a ten year period.
There is also less money in the House bill for conservation.
If the House approves the bill on Thursday, the two bills will have to find a middle ground.
