Just so nobody thinks I am anti-rural. I say cut off the urban transportation funding and welfare programs used by city-dwellers. Leaches are everywhere and they need to be cut off.
Leach is a harsh word. If I could get free money I would likely take it too. That being said they should ALL be cut off.
Embrace the cliff!!!
Because repealing the 1949 law that would have caused the problem would have just been too damn simple!
I FULLY agree, it’s about time CITY-LEECHES find out what food REALLY costs.
Dump this crapola. If milk is worth 8 bucks then it is 8 bucks. I really despise the US government having me make up the difference.
I totally agree. Because of government interference we don’t know what anything costs.
I’m not sure I like the cliff unless it will result in maximizing moocher pain and I don’t think it will.
They need to cut off the ethanol mandate. That will lower the cost of corn feed for those dairy cows and bring the cost of that milk down.
Here is the BIGGEST “Leeches”:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northeast_Dairy_Compact
Still trying to wrap my head around taxpayers subsidizing 50% of every gallon of milk sold. Does the Farm Bill subdidize milk to such an extent or is this public posturing to ensure the subsidies continue?
Government interference and regulation to the rescue!
Yep, that’s worked so well. Reap the whirlwind!
That and the fact big agri has contaminated our seed stock in pursuit of mass production to feed the urban areas to the point we cannot export rice and other grains.
These 3rd world shi_-holes that are starving don’t want our food just our money.
Horsehockey!
Milk prices have NEVER doubled overnight in the nation’s history, and there’s no reason to believe they would just
because a favored piece of pork legislation was allowed to
expire.
This is just “Big Bird Cried, Save Our Funding!” all over again.
Just let it die. The market will be in turmoil for awhile. When they start pouring milk out on the ground prices will stabilize.
As long as we have Liberal Free Traders in politics and media (and even a few of them here on FR), there will always be price supports and farm subsidies
As long as we let the Communist Chinese dump ag products on the US with little or no tariff....there will be subsidies for US Ag so they remain competitive domestically and internationally. In fact, most price supports on Ag are done so US producers can sell their product overseas below cost
Put tariffs on foreign Ag products...and you will no longer need subsidies
It’s time to dump the Liberal Free Trade Globalist policies. We can no longer afford the high taxes and government subsidies to keep our domestic producers competitive. Tariffs work, contrary to what Liberal free Traders push
These people we've elected for oh-so-many years and especially lately actually want chaos and are doing everything they can do to generate it.
I say let it happen.
The second that lower and middle-class folks are priced out of the grocery store and gas station, these subversives our fellow citizens put in power will be happy.
They can just eat each other, as far as I'm concerned.
