“Politicians from both parties like to meddle in agriculture. When the Heritage Foundation told Republicans not to pass any farm bill, “conservative” politicians banned Heritage from their weekly meetings. “
Yup. The gop wing of the uniparty doesn’t want anyone getting in the way of “business.”
After you allow the local givernments to charge you RENT(property tax) on property you OWN... EVERYTHING is downhill after that..
Everything..
The weirdest thing about agricultural price supports and controls is that they apply to some products and not others, with no apparent rationale for deciding which are covered.
A monumentally ignorant remark. If a buy a producing cow this morning, she'll give me milk this afternoon.
From the article: Rob Vandenheuvel of the state’s Milk Producers Council says, “Government has the responsibility to keep us in line with what the rest of the country is making, and they’re not doing it. It gives us no choice but to spend money on lawyers.”
Uh...Rob, Dude! The government has NO responsibility to support your members’ cashflow in ANY way. In fact, their meddling up to this point is anti-Constitutional.
Stop suckling at the taxpayer teat, and get back to balancing the economic playing field with the always workable laws of supply and demand, and stop demanding the laws to assure your livelihoods.
