80% of the farm bill goes to food stamps instead of aid to farmers. Farmers should just quit working for a year or two and let city folk raise the food for their families.

80% of the farm bill goes to food stamps . . .

This is the point of food stamps -- to 'move' food. This is why this program is in the Dept of Agriculture -- it is a program to help farmers sell food.

I’ve always wondered how a state like Iowa could vote for Obama. But it seems that most farmers are every bit the parasites that Holder’s people are.

From price supports to ethanol to illegal immigrants, the farmers seem to hate free enterprise, preferring rent-seeking instead.
