Who knew that urban handouts were the same as agriculture?

Constitutionally, the Fed Govt should have nothing to do with dirt, plants, critters, land or farmers. This is state business.

Exactly this.

Back when I was a kid, the Food Stamp program was very limited and most of what got given away was surplus government cheese, butter and grain.

It, at least, had the effect of encouraging overproduction of these commodities and making products which used them less expensive.

Now, when you see premium food like choice cuts of meat, shrimp and the like purchased in your local supermarket, the chances are pretty good that they are puchased mostly by people with EBT cards.

This doesn't help bring down the price of other commodities which we mere taxpaying peasants can afford.
