Thank that SOB, LBJ, for the scheme of putting food stamps in the USDA budget. He knew he could hide it there....only now it’s 80% and going up exponentially during the Obama reign. It is impossible to hide the fact that the flea has gotten bigger than the dog.
What an evil SOB.
Whoa! LBJ wasn't "hiding" it. He was simply putting something in the Ag budget that urban Congressmen and Senators would vote for. If the Farm Bill had to rely solely on rural Congressmen and Senators for passage, there would never have been any subsidies.
