Yet, we're still importing Mexican cheese.
Fine, give it to those starving fed government children. Win-win.
Yes, give it to the families of furloughed Federal workers.
I live near the border and whatever is in the new deal has 2 local dairies expanding.
Cut the welfare payments back to the cheese manufacturing chain, and the market would take care of the problem.
Well past time to get the Feds out of the milk price control/subsidy racket.
SNAP benefits.

Cheese is darn expensive in the stores, they are artificially propping up the price. I for one would love the price of cheese come down.
Properly stored cheese cannot go bad. A 10-20 year old cheddar can be sold for $20+ per pound.
When the food stamp money runs out in February give out the cheese.
Feed it to all the starving federal employees Cher is moaning about.
Too much oil, too.
They forgot the cheese?
This is what farm subsidies do.
My grandparents got surplus cheese when I was a kid. Best cheese ever!
Central Planning at it’s finest.
or, could it possibly be, that ‘lactose intolerance’ (or the fashionable claim of having lactose intolerance) is more widespread in populations outside those of Northern European descent, so less dairy is being consumed by a specific population that is producing fewer children?
” According to a May 2002 article in the “American Family Physician,” some ethnic groups have high levels of lactose intolerance including up to 100 percent of Asians and Native Americans, 60 to 80 percent of blacks and 50 to 80 percent of Latinos. Conversely, only up to 15 percent of those with northern European ancestry have symptoms of lactose intolerance.
“Approximately 65 percent of the human population has a reduced ability to digest lactose after infancy. Lactose intolerance in adulthood is most prevalent in people of East Asian descent, affecting more than 90 percent of adults in some of these communities. Lactose intolerance is also very common in people of West African, Arab, Jewish, Greek, and Italian descent.
“The prevalence of lactose intolerance is lowest in populations with a long history of dependence on unfermented milk products as an important food source. For example, only about 5 percent of people of Northern European descent are lactose intolerant.

I love cheese. Send me some cheese.
I can remember when I was a teenager and the Reagan administration was giving away government cheese (with accompanying Democrat whining about how unfair it is to make poor people eat cheese or something). Why does the government have a cheese stockpile? I didn’t know the answer to this in the ‘80s and I still don’t now.
