Maybe someone will come along and try to explain that dairy is an insignificant portion of one's expense for food, or that this program creates jobs.

The milk subsidy actually increases milk prices. It’s the government picking dairy farms as high-profit winners rather than letting the market sort it out.

The taxpayers should not be subsidizing any business be it electric cars, steel or milk. Anything the government does is paid for by the taxpayer.

I thought only Pennsylvania and perhaps Belarus were still doing this.

I see a lot of folks buying almond and soy milk at the stores.. It’s nice to have alternatives.. or a cow in the backyard .. leave it to Congre$$ to screw everyone equally in the end.. and the herd to move on..

We just went milk free.

Meanwhile, I’m in a band where all the other members are a family that grows all their own food and sells the raw milk from their cows. How do they do that, legally, you ask? Simple. They lease “shares” of their cows so that a person that hyas leased 1/10th of the cow gets 1/10 of the milk it produces during the term of the lease.

The lengths people have to go to under a fascist regime...

Mr. Peterson, the ranking Democrat on the House Agriculture Committee whose state is home to 470,000 cows, wants to create an insurance program without a cap so Big Milk can get in on the action too.

Just trying to keep up with Big Cookie, man ...
