President Obama signs the farm bill

[INdemo]

As if 800 million is going to balance the budget President Obama will sign the farm bill and protecting the lower class from overeating. As if the 1% food stamp cut is the bulk of the farm bill that will benefit many serving in Congress.

4. Are we really living in a Democracy or can we call it

corporacy or hypocrisy or what ever one would label a government owned by billionaires and corporations.
I keep thinking what will happen if and when Republicans control both houses and the White House, I think we can kiss unions good bye,welcome in a national right- to-work law and watch the soup lines appear again as in the 30s and yet today we have a Democrat in the White House that will sign legislation that benefits millionaires but take money from familys that yes the 1% does make a difference in their food budget.
We elect Democrats to Congress but when they get there they turn out to be corpracrat Republicans. We need a real progressive party in this (what's left of our Democracy) if we are to survive.
Yep bet Monsanto Corp had a few bucks in the till to make sure this bill passed
