LOL the Chicago way.
The media thinks it’s a great thing.
FReepers saw it coming in early 2008.

Pitch-Forkin’ worthy news. Thanks for the post.
I have a lemon tree, a grapefruit tree, an orange tree, and a grapevine growing on my yard. Could I qualify as well?
Took a brief look: I bet almost all of these people a tied to the Democratic Party— this is ‘get out the vote’ money for the machine.
I’ll bet those who received are all democrats...
They call them farm subsidies, but they’re really what government does best: take money from those who earn it and give it to those who vote for more benefits.
They need to prosecute fraud, and recover those funds.
If the law allows this, they need to fix the law.
And they need to expose and remove the politicians involved.
But let’s be careful what we are talking about here. Food stamps is under the farm bill, so I’m not surprised that Chicago is getting food stamps. We need to know for sure what program is being talked about here and what the money was really for.
We need farm subsidies. We don’t ever need to be dependent on foreign nations for food. And since we’ve lowered the import tariffs in the 1960’s, subsidies is the only way of making sure that we have home grown food.
Kill the fraud, but don’t kill agriculture in the process.
Let’s write a song jingle that will stick in the American mind.
Where there’s a subsidy, there will corruption be.
Handouts are for bandits.
Fairy Skittles, stinky beans.
Thousands more get property tax breaks by claiming that their property is a “farm” by planting a few tomato plants or keeping a pet goat. Included are some multi-million dollar mansions owned by some very rich people.
Farrakhan could be legit, after all he is raising Nuts!
