The fact that West, Issa, AND 76 other Republicans voted as they did tells me there is more to the wording of the issue than we are aware.
Perhaps another lockstep Democrat sham. I don’t know, but there has to be a logical reason as West, nor Issa are RINO chumps to be had by political shenanigans of the Left.
Some of the black farmers were discriminated against by the Dept. of Agriculture and lost potential earnings as farmers. They deserved some restitution.
However, Pigford needs a thorough congressional investigation as well. Perhaps Issa and West didn’t want to hurt the real victims but through investigations, can stop payments to the frauds.
If you figure out a good reason for this can you ping me? This is mind blowing.
I seem to recall West came out strong against Pigford...anyone have any clarity on this?
I agree. The way bills are written nowadays, it’s basically having a gun held to your head.
All I can think of is that this was the yearly Ag bill, not a separate bill on Pigford. The bill they passed was almost $3 billion less then last year and what the president wanted.
Perhaps that’s the catch. Pigford stays but we still save $2 billion dollars then what we would have.
West is a conservative and you are right he isn't a RINO chump...Issa...can't be trusted...
