If similar spending cuts are starting to be framed as gender issues instead of strictly being about the surface issue, I predict it will be much harder for Congress to pass the cuts. Women's rights interest groups will be lobbying to keep funding for the programs and losing women supporters would be detrimental to the Republican party.<br />-stephplatinumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13544795082854153500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3918327042500720296.post-9044443648227031702013-09-29T14:11:58.406-07:002013-09-29T14:11:58.406-07:00Marissa,

I think its really interesting to read about the farm bill and its cuts - one usually thinks of farming as a male-dominated field. I agree with you on it passing the senate - I think it has zero chance. I wonder, however, how the bill was presented going through the house. Do you think that the congressmen and women presented it as a gender issue? Or as an industry issue? <br />Thanks! Erica MAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
