Time for a bailout of the peanut butter industry.

And BTW, did the reporters think that anyone in America still cared about Jimmy Carter? Or was this report intended for his supporters in the Gaza Strip?

This TV station is about 20 miles south of Plains. Probably the only reporters that will talk to the Carters.

The peanut industry has had a continuous bailout for over a hundred years. Jimmahs ancestors got together with other wealthy plantation owners, and passed restrictions. You need a permit to grow more than an acre of peanuts....and there is a finite number of permits (Jimmah’s ancestors got a permit, you see). In fact, short of being decended from a wealthy post war plantation owner, it is darn near impossible to become a ‘poor peanut farmer’. I think they’ll survive.
