More boondoggle subsidies for farmers...the one who make a living from not growing...but getting

subsidies none the less. Yes, there are a handful of farmers who will not benefit from these latest subsidies, especially small family and minority farmers. It's all a racket where the rich just get richer for screwing us more and more.

Years ago when he was still alive my dad tells me about how he was railing about government handouts and my dad just said, "what about government subsidies for farmers?" I guess that shut him up real quick and he said something like "thats different". The American farmer will always get a bail out.
