Follow the money. Nothing more, nothing less.

[WENDLE]

Follow that money. You pay more for cheese because if this not to mention it was your money!!

[Don Corleone]

Price supports. Nothing more. Nothing less. Vote buying on a large scale.

Who moved my cheese?

[RetiredTexasVet]

Remember all this price fixing crap started with our first Communist president FDR .... New Deal or Raw Deal!

[aces]

[PROCON]

Get used to cheese sandwiches because that's what FReepers will be eating when President Hillary puts us into the FEMA camps. </tinfoilhat>

I remember that our small country grade school (1st to 8th) in Indiana had government surplus cheese, powdered eggs, butter and other items that were used to make our daily lunches. I saw it in the store room when I was helping out in the 5th or 6th grade move some big cans of food from the store room to the kitchen area. It was raining outside and a classmate’s mother was one of the two cooks.

“Take heart amid the deepening gloom that your dog is finally getting enough cheese”.

[McGruff]

I remember a similar program in the 1960s or 1970s. My mother got some free. Terrible tasting stuff.

You wouldn’t know from the prices that there was a surplus

[i_robot73]

>That’s how much of the good stuff the federal government plans to buy to ease America’s massive cheese surplus.

Um, no. That’s how much the govt spent, of TAXPAYER $$, on an extra Constitutional\illegal purchase.

...and the (R) in the halls of Congress cheered for how ‘gracious’ they were to the POOR poor and downtrodden.

welfare!

[Sacajaweau]

This has been gong on for years. I remember some poor people in our neighborhood getting the cheese. And they did appreciate it.

Minorities do not like good cheeses. They think cheese comes in a wiz can or a velveta box. I'm not joking. I took a cheese plate to work one day with brie, gruyere, Havarti, ten year old white sharp cheddar, and a young nutty swiss. I served it with crackers, crustini, fruit, and flat breads.

You might as well have been feeding them tribbles from Romulan space?

The federal government also buys all the surplus milk from a dehydrating company. They then ship it to one of two companies in the US that rewets it, emulsifies it, adds vitamin D and trace minerals, pay for it in 2,000 pound sacks, then send it to warehouses until it's use by date expires, send it to a landfill, and repeat.

Central Planned Economy that fails.

Utilized to promote farm welfare.

They turn around and donate it to Indian groups and encourage poverty.

Government.

[Bobalu]

Maybe this little guy can get a chunk :-)

[atomic_dog]

Would that be the same government that dropped $1.5 billion of paper gold on the Comex earlier this week?
