The veterans lob corp act is not in the house.  It is still in the senate.  Republicans have voted for it but their concern is they will create TEMPORARY JOBS.  Once the money is gone so are the jobs.  They have offered alternative plans that include tax incentives for hiring vets.

As far as the farm bill the flap is over the SNAP program cuts.  Even kentay should know what that is. The senate bill offers cuts to SNAP but the pubs want deeper cuts.  Additionally, a bill was offered by Sen Johnson to sever the SNAP PROGRAM from agriculture bills but that was denied by senate dems.  As of this posting the House repubs are going to vote on an extension of the current farm bill.

A reminder for kentay:
I fully support going back to ALL, that says ALL THE CLINTON TAX and spend policies that led to the economic boom in the second half of the 90's.
