It sounds to me as if the raisin growers were perfectly happy with this Federal bureaucracy when it was paying $200 million to them since 1997, but now it's an oppressive, onerous intrusion in the free market because nothing has been paid out since 2009? ROFL.

$200 million went to 3000 growers over 22 years. That works out to $3030 per year. I bet he would rather have the other 47% of his crop to sell instead of that lush payout every year.

I guess he should have thought about that before he accepted his first $3,030 payment, eh?
