Mean white guys on drugs. But a proposal by Republicans in the House version would cut about $40 billion from food stamps, which would result in the removal of five million people nationwide from the program, according to the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, a left-leaning research organization.

The House version also includes new work requirements and drug tests for food stamp recipients.
