it would have been different if it had been a Chicago Style Deep Dish - what a traitor!
i think this is a bunch of fluff like most of you, but i did read through the article, and i think that eliminating or reducing SUBSIDIES to higher income farmers IS a good idea. and i’m not sure why anyone should oppose it. i’m opposed to subsidies and free handouts in general, but i don’t want rich farmers getting what is essentially corporate welfare.
i’m also opposed to the subsidy we are currently providing our pulp and paper industry. they add diesel to black liquor (a pulp and/or paper byproduct) to get the same subsidies that ethanol suppliers get. before the green/alternative energy subsidies were in place, these pulp & paper companies just burned the black liquor. now they burning diesel (adding it to the black liquor) in order to get $10 billion in subsidies.
