It costs about $18 to produce 100 pounds of milk and farmers get only $11 for it right now, so they lose money

Perhaps the Federal Government could purchase the extra milk and have it processed into cheese. To pay for this program, welfare recipients would have a "small" amount taken out of their welfare checks, but would receive coupons for "Government Cheese". I can't believe no one has thought of this before...

I think that the gov. did make a lot of cheese many years ago. There were no food stamps but people could go to Catholic Welfare and be given big blocks of cheese.

Glad you made me remember that. The idea is good.
