Whenever Congress throws too much into one bill, special interests profit. The massive farm bill — which is already 80 percent food stamps — is no exception.

And, I am sure the Lugar Family Farm gets perks.

Excerpt: “Lugar’s time spent managing his farm keeps him grounded in the work that he does for the Senate Agricultural Committee and for the people in Indiana,”

It should not be lightly brushed aside that 80 percent of the so-called farm bill is used to fund a people feeding program, and has been so allocated at least during the Reign of BHO. This policy is at minimum deceptive. I wonder how much of the funds allocated to, for example, the U. S. Dept. of Fisheries, is actually used for a people feeding program.
