THANK YOU MR. BUSH. Thank you for all of your CONSERVATIVISMS - FOR ALL OF YOUR BS. Here's to Hillary or Bubba or any other socialists who will be your successor. At least we know their views. You & Carl Rove can retire in Kennebunkport & talk about how you screwed the conservatives. You will end up a worse president than your old man.

Republican members of Congress from farm states are as guilty of these money give aways as any liberal Democrat. What the farmers need is "tough love" --ending all government supports as well as members of Congress, particular from farm states, with enough spine to give it.

I certainly wish GWB knew how to spell, and that's not "potatoe", it's

european farmers are even more heavily subsidized--not a justification, but a fact.

small farmers have nothing to do with this. they want a fair market.

it's the large farmers of 2,000 acres+ from texas to canada who make a killing from the government subsidies. in fact, some of them are millionaires.

also, the international agribusiness corporations, such as dean foods, archer daniel midlands, etc.

i think what's really going on is these corporations pay the congress to do their bidding. what they want is to control world agriculture.

notice that nafta destroyed the mexican corn, pig, and chicken farms. they can't compete with the larger american farms. the mexicans pointed out that the american farms are more heavily subsidized.

so, expect even more displaced mexicans to come up your way.
